Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


We adopted Whillie in March 2013 when he was about a year old. With a dog already part of the family, we weren’t sure what to expect, but everyone was eventually able to cohabitate just fine. Whillie is very shy and nonaggressive, and is one of the best snugglers on the planet. He is also perfectly content to sit on your lap or near you if you’re working from home or binging some TV. And he will not hesitate to let you know when he’s hungry or wants some pets.
Whillie was seemed to be fine with the addition of a human child to his family, and remained largely aloof even as the baby became a toddler and preschooler. However, when baby #2 was on the way and Whillie’s cat box had to be moved out to the garage to make room for the new addition, he started having inappropriate urination issues in multiple areas inside the house. Despite multiple efforts to treat this (behavioral, not medical) issue, we’ve been unsuccessful and are starting to get discouraged.
