About Willow

💜Meet Willow💜 Willow is a beautiful young tabby girl with a gentle, sweet nature. She is a shy and sensitive soul who prefers to keep to herself and enjoys having her own safe space where she can watch the world go by at her own pace. Willow is still learning that humans can be kind and that she is safe now. She can be quite timid, but little by little she is becoming more comfortable having people around and is slowly learning to accept human touch. She will allow gentle pats, especially when treats are involved. And speaking of treats, the way to Willow's heart is definitely through her stomach. She is very food motivated and loves creamy treats and Greenies dental treats, with chicken being her favourite. At this stage Willow isn't a lap cat and doesn't enjoy being picked up. With time, patience and the right person, she may continue to grow in confidence and discover that being close to her humans isn't so scary after all. Her new family will need to be willing to take things slowly, respect her boundaries and let her settle in following the 3-3-3 rule, giving her the time and space she needs without expecting too much too soon. Willow has been living in foster care alongside her brother, Tigger, and her mum, Honey. She may benefit from living with another calm, confident and cat friendly feline who can help show her the ropes and give her some extra reassurance. She is a foster with view to adopt. Willow was found as a stray in a park area in Girrawheen with her mother and siblings. She is looking for a quiet, patient and understanding home where she can simply be herself while she learns to trust. She may not be the kitty who jumps straight into your lap on day one, but watching a shy cat like Willow slowly build confidence and learn to trust is incredibly rewarding. Please note our cats must be kept indoors only or have access to an enclosed cat run.
