Wilbur is a sweet boy with a calm nature. He may be a little shy when first settling in, but once he feels safe, his true personality begins to shine. On his terms, he shows affection in the most endearing ways, especially with his signature very enthusiastic head bumps (fair warning: they’re strong enough to knock you over!).
From Wilbur’s foster home:
Wilbur has been shy in the home, but he’s steadily coming out of his shell. He enjoys being near people and will often observe from a cozy cat tree or enclosed space, like a cube or box. He prefers to approach humans on his own terms and doesn’t enjoy being picked up, though he’ll tolerate it briefly. He’s very food-motivated (Churus are a huge hit!) and this has helped build trust and confidence. Wilbur has a playful side that’s still emerging, he plays independently right now and is a bit bashful about joining in, but his foster is confident that with patience, his playful personality will continue to blossom. He also loves to snuggle close and keep a calm presence nearby so he can “keep an eye” on things.
Wilbur has been very calm and friendly with other cats in his foster home. He greets them politely and shows no aggression. He may do well with another friendly feline, provided a slow and gradual introduction is done. Dogs seem to make him nervous. He would do best with a calm, low-energy dog who can respect his space (or a dog-free home).
***NOTE*** Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets. They will be experiencing a new environment and meeting new people, which means they may not exhibit the same behaviours they did in their foster videos or while in foster care.

Come into the Centre and if you see a pet you like, you are able to do a "Meet and Greet" with that pet. Spend some time in alone with the pet or take a dog out for a short walk. If you are still interested in adopting the pet you can meet with one of our Adoption Counsellors who will have you fill out and application and will ask you some questions about the environment in which you live. If you seem like a wonderful match and your envirnoment meets the needs of the pet then your application should be approved!
