Born sometime around July of 2009, Willie is a young cat. He’s an all-black male of medium size, and, as far as we can tell, he’s in good health.

Willie is quite shy with people initially. When you start petting him, he’s clearly nervous. But as you pet him, he warms up quickly. He can be quite talkative, as well.

Because Willie is timid, we think it’s best that he go to a home without small children, at least for the present. We think he’ll become less nervous around us once he realizes he has nothing to fear here, but he’ll need a patient owner who can give him the time and attention he needs to come around.
