Winifred's Story

Hi, my name is Winifred! I'm a RED pawprint, which means I need an experienced home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:<br/>-Personality: Shy, independent<br/>-Can Live with Cats: Yes, Winifred has lived in a colony setting previously and would be fine with another cat as long as they're properly introduced.<br/>-Can Live with Dogs: Unknown history with dogs. Winifred can by shy but might be fine with a mellow dog.<br/>-Can Live with Kids: Older, cat-savvy teens might be okay! (Recommending kids 13 years and up)<br/>-Needs Indoor Only Home: Not required<br/>-History of Litter Box Issues: No<br/>-Energy Level: Moderate<br/>-Bite History: No<br/>-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes a spay (scheduled for 10/31/25)<br/>Additional Information: Winifred came to us from a colony setting and is still learning to trust her new surroundings. She’s a gentle, shy soul who enjoys quiet affection once she feels safe. Winifred will need some time to settle into a new home, so an adopter with cat experience would be ideal. A calm environment with plenty of cozy hiding spots will help her feel secure as she blossoms at her own pace. She would love to go home with her friend Wenlo but it is not required.<br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
