My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Curious, Friendly, Chatty

Wigglesworth is worth his weight in gold! He loves people and adores attention, asking for head scratches, please, with a meow. Or, if you're busy, then a treat will do (for now). He is loving, outgoing, and friendly, and will "talk" to the visitors at the shelter to hit them up for pets, because he sees every human as a potential new best friend!

And Wigglesworth loves other cats as much as he loves people! In the shelter he has 3 roommates, and he snuggles and grooms with all of them - though his buddy, Joxer the Mighty (115412), is usually who he spends the most time curled up with. Wigglesworth even loves the cats in the room next to him, and can be caught gazing longingly at Lambinator (125545); they meow to each other like Romeo and Juliet, separated by a window but united in love. Truly, Wigglesworth seems to fall in love with everyone he meets - or even sees!

When it comes to playing, Wigglesworth has curiosity to spare! He has a grand time playing around with his feline buddies. Otherwise, he likes a good game of "gravity", where he knocks something over and then looks around for something else to knock down. He has this cat thing down pat!

Next, he's off to seek head scratches, treats, a buddy to cuddle with, or a toy to knock down - or all of the above!

Wigglesworth eats a wet food diet (with meds tucked in) to support his urinary health.

Wigglesworth would shine in any loving home with people to share affection and a feline friend to pal around with! This gorgeous blue boy, with his charming, gregarious, easy-going, and funny personality, simply needs LOVE!
