Wilfred

My story

Hey, hey, hey! I’m Wilfred — the most vocal, dramatic, and possibly soon-to-be EGOT-winning cat at the shelter. No big deal. Just a future Broadway star, opera legend, and maybe even a Nobel Peace Prize nominee. My foster mom Jordan says I’m that talented. You’re welcome. When I’m not belting out arias that could melt even the hardest of hearts, I’m a man of many other pursuits. First off, I’m an award-winning copycat. Wherever Jordan goes — whether it’s the shower, the bed, or simply breathing — I’m there, like a furry shadow with impeccable timing. You’re welcome, Jordan. I’m your personal assistant. Now, I don’t know if you know this, but I have a severe addiction to ping pong balls. I don’t know what kind of wizardry is behind their bouncy magic, but if you know a guy, let a cat know. Ping pong balls are life. And speaking of life... you ever had a post-B.M. Zoomies? Oh, honey, you haven’t lived until you’ve seen me zoom around the room like my tail’s on fire after I’ve done my business. You might think you're fast, but my speed is otherworldly. I become light as a feather. The room becomes my racetrack. No one can catch me. You think a cheetah is fast? It’s just me, Wilfred, doing laps at lightning top speed with my very own soundtrack of "I’m-unstoppable." I’m mostly a solitary guy, but don’t think for a second that I don’t need my people. I’m the king of “personal space with a side of closeness.” I’ll let you know when I want my snuggles, which is always. You might find me keeping your toes warm while you sleep, or perched on the couch watching TV with you, my royal presence gracing the room. Nothing like a cozy snuggle with a full-time diva, huh? Now, a quick note: I do have diabetes (it’s a lot for a cat to handle, I know). But fear not — I’m a super soldier when it comes to my shots. Every morning and afternoon, I’m ready. I march right up, strike a pose, and wait for my dose like the professional I am. It’s all part of the glamorous life of being Wilfred, Superstar. Oh, and my wiggle butt? Yeah, that's my thing. Apparently, it’s a thing. Everyone loves it. You’ll catch me wiggling my little derrière like I’m getting ready to break into dance at any moment. If you need a little entertainment in your life, just let me do my wiggle thing. It’s like a tiny feline performance art. I get along with my fellow cats like a dream. In fact, I LOVE other cats. If they’ve got feline DNA, I’m there, spreading the love. But, dogs? Yeah, no. They stink. They’re loud. And frankly, I’m too royal for them. However, if you’re willing to bribe me with high-quality treats and give me time to warm up (like… a long time), I might consider letting a dog into my presence. But don’t hold your breath. We’ll take it slow. Very slow. So, if you’re looking for a ridiculously talented, ping-pong ball-obsessed, zooming-around-like-a-speeding-bullet, royal snuggle monster, Wilfred’s your guy. Come meet me, and prepare to be amazed by my purring and my wiggle butt.
