My name is Wilson!

“If you’ve not had the privilege of being employed by a mini-panther, I’m here to give you that opportunity! I’m currently accepting applications for cook, litterbox scooper, conversational companion and snuggle buddy. The only catch is one person (or a small company; Mom and/or Dad and maybe a short human (1 or more) must possess all of those qualifications! My foster mom says I’m the purrfect cat; I love to give and receive attention. I’m playful, by myself or with your participation. My foster Mom’s favorite thing about me is how much I love humans. I’m looking for a loving, long-term (the rest of my life) relationship and ready to hire! If you think you qualify, please get with my humans to meet me in purr-son!”

Wilson doesn’t have experience with dogs, men or children, but with proper introductions (and humans over the age of 8 who’ve been trained (or have experience) interacting with cats (gently with no surprise moves to startle him), he’s so easy going, we don’t anticipate any issues. Wilson’s an extremely affectionate guy, relatively low maintenance and happy with as much time and affection as you can spare.

Wilson’s early history isn’t clear to us, but somehow along the way he contracted FIV. It may have been transmitted via his momma before he was born or he may have received a deep bite would from an infected cat.  FIV isn’t a death sentence; we’ve adopted out many positive kitties to homes with healthy cats. Proper introductions ensure everyone is on their best behavior. See the link below for an update on this virus. Please apply or call 919-935-3792 for more information.
