Willie Domestic Short Hair & American Shorthair Mix Bethlehem, PA

Willie is a stunning gray tabby with gorgeous green eyes. He comes with an inspiring story and is a lucky little guy. Willie came to a volunteer's yard and was taken in because he was such a friendly guy. At his vet exam, it was discovered that he had been shot multiple times with a BB gun. Willie needed surgery to remove a few, but a few are too deeply embedded to easily remove. The BBs that remain don't cause him any discomfort and no further surgeries will be needed.

Willie is exceptionally curious and wants to investigate anything new. He is extremely playful and loves any interactive toy, but can entertain himself for hours. Willie loves chin rubs, being brushed and doesn't mind being picked up. He can entertain himself, but he looks forward to playing with wand toys and feathers. One of his favorite things are crinkle tunnels to run through and packing paper. He absolutely goes crazy when wand toys or feathers are put under the tunnel or hidden under paper. Willie is not a lap cat, but he will sit alongside you and he definitely likes to be close by his people.

While Willie is extremely outgoing, friendly and playful, he carries the trauma of being mistreated. Because of this, he needs an experienced family or person. He can be overstimulated and reactive by rough play or handling. We feel older children and adults will recognize this better than young children can, so he will do best in a home without children under 10 or 12 years old. We think Willie would do well with an easy going dog, but he is wary around other cats.

Willie is about a year old, neutered, up to date with yearly vaccinations and negative for Feline Leukemia and FIV.
