Worm's Story

Worm is a young adult DSH with one brain cell and it’s working overtime. This orange boy is pure personality. He’s the type to launch himself at your legs the second you walk in the room, rubbing and weaving and demanding affection like it’s his full-time job. He doesn’t just like attention, he needs it. He thrives on love, pets, and being involved in whatever you’re doing. Playtime? He’s in. Cuddles? Obviously. Following you around the house like a slightly unhinged golden retriever in cat form? Absolutely. Worm was found dumped in Waterbury this winter, left outside in the cold alongside his brother, who we are still working to catch. Despite that rough start, he hasn’t let it harden him. He is silly, affectionate, and so ready to belong to someone. He’s the perfect mix of goofy and sweet. The kind of cat who will make you laugh daily and then melt into your hands five minutes later. If you’re looking for an orange cat with zero thoughts and maximum love, Worm is your guy.

Despurate House Cats's Adoption Policy

The application process for adopting from our cat rescue includes several important steps: Application Form on Website: You must fill out an application form available on the rescue's website. This form will ask for your personal details, your home environment, and other relevant information about your lifestyle and preferences to help match you with a suitable cat. Vet Reference: You are required to provide a reference from your veterinarian. This helps the rescue ensure you have a history of responsible pet ownership and good veterinary care for your previous or current pets. Landlord Reference (if leasing): If you rent your home, you will need to provide a reference from your landlord. This confirms that you have permission to have a cat in your rental property and ensures that the living conditions are suitable for adopting a pet. Home Visit: As part of the adoption process, a home visit will be conducted. A representative from the rescue will visit your home to ensure it’s a safe and appropriate environment for a cat. This visit will also include meeting your current pets to assess if they will get along with the new cat. The rescue wants to ensure that the new addition to your family will be compatible with your existing pets and that everyone will feel comfortable and safe. Once all these steps are completed and reviewed, the rescue will make a decision about your application.
