About Willow

Willow is a stunning adult kitty with a unique personality. She enjoys the company of her people and even gets along with dogs, often choosing to lounge nearby rather than on laps. While she’s affectionate and appreciates attention, she can be particular about how much she wants. If overstimulated, she may give a little warning nibble, so she’d thrive in a home without small children. Willow loves to observe you while you type and engage with her feather wand toys. Sometimes, she’ll snuggle up for a nap on the bed, and she’s usually found perched on the back of a chair, monitoring her surroundings. To keep her safe and happy, Willow needs a strictly indoor environment. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
