About Wilbur

Wilbur is a lively 3-year-old with a glossy black coat and striking green eyes. His playful personality shines through, especially with his adorable habit of letting his little tongue poke out. Whether he’s chirping cheerfully or demanding your attention, he’s social and inquisitive, making him the perfect work-from-home companion. Wilbur enjoys lounging beside you and needs regular snuggles, often expressing his affection by giving gentle licks. He thrives during playtime, especially with wand toys—feathers are his favorite—and he loves to wrestle with stuffed animals, tossing them around with glee. Wilbur may enjoy the company of another cat to play with, but he can also be a wonderful solo cat as long as he receives daily engagement. Wilbur has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. All cats from our program have been rescued from challenging situations and receive thorough care. If you're interested in adopting a lively companion like Wilbur, please submit an application!
