About The Worm

Meet The Worm, a charming little fellow rescued alongside his siblings, Hoggle and Junk Lady. Unlike his brother, Hoggle, who boasts a jet-black coat, The Worm has a smaller frame and a little white tuft on his chest. This sweet boy may act more like a mouse than a worm, often seeking out cozy hiding spots for snuggling and darting out when he thinks no one is watching. Initially shy from his time on the streets, The Worm is slowly learning to trust. With a bit of patience, his playful and curious personality emerges. He adores wet food, prefers to watch plays before joining in, and enjoys his own spot on the couch. He may seem independent, but he quietly follows you around the house, eager to explore new areas. If you crouch down to his level and offer your hand for a sniff, he'll warm up to you—he loves churu treats and will even eat from your hand. Though he doesn't enjoy being picked up, a gentle approach earns you his affection. While he adores his siblings and would love to go home with one or both, he can also bond with friendly cats in time. This little goofball truly needs a playmate to bring out his full personality.
