Willie Needs a Loving Family [PHOTOS, VIDEOS]

Will you adopt this gentle giant of a cat?

My name is Willie and I'm a very friendly and talkative young guy who loves to be right in the middle of all the action. That means that I will always come right up to greet you and your guests, rubbing up against you to say hello. It also means I can be quite helpful around the house.

Have some gifts to wrap? I can help with that. Reading the Sunday paper? I can help there by stretching out on it. I also love to sun myself, so I hope you have a nice window where I can take in the rays. 

I do have a little bit of a catnip habit. That stuff makes me wild. Give me a nip and dangle some toys and I will be sure to entertain you. Or toss me some paper rolled in a ball. I am sure to chase that (when I am not wrapping with it). I'm also a curious guy, so I will be checking out the corners of you house to make sure there is nothing interesting that you may have missed.

When I'm not busy exploring or playing, I'm pretty laid back and easy going. I even have experience with toddlers and other animals. When I was little, my owner had ferrets and I used to wrestle with them. Everything and everyone is my friend. Nothing perturbs me. I'm just a big, gentle giant. 

So, what are you waiting for? Give PAWS a call and we can set up a date. I think I'm going to like you. I know you are going to love me.
