Wilbur has had a long journey to become the wonderful cat he is, and what he now needs, and deserves, is that perfect person to appreciate him. Is that you? Wilbur needed a lot of help shedding his fear of humans and, finally having had that “schooling,” he has blossomed!
In a new environment or with strangers, he’ll be shy, but with love and patience, he’ll show you the cat his foster mom describes as a "completely loving boy … so sweet." Once you earn his trust, this 3-year-old tabby will bond deeply to you. As his foster mom reports: "To most people, Wilbur is probably a classic meatloaf cat. I think of him as my boyfriend who only has eyes for me and wants all my attention. When he's in the mood, he presses his face into mine and rubs me with his cheek. He is super cuddly now and lets me pet him all over, squish his cheeks and ears and I can pick him up although he doesn't like to be held for long. He will demand pats while I’m sitting on the couch and he sleeps behind me on the cushion."
Wilbur may still get spooked on occasion, for no apparent reason, but he’ll soon emerge from his safe place and seek some reassurance … meaning petting! Wilbur is pretty low energy, batting a toy mouse every so often, but generally chill. He loves the Zen aura of a quiet home, preferably as a single cat. (He got along well with an older cat, chasing and cuddling together, but was jealous and unhappy with a cat his own age.) His foster mom raves about his good nature: "He's so sweet, he's a mush. When we have our cuddle sessions, he looks at me with such adoration it melts my heart."
Wilbur now deserves someone to unlock the mystery of his heart and provide him with the loving home he’s been waiting for. He is negative for FIV/FeLV, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations. To adopt him, email adopt@kittykind.org.

Their adoption process
Additional adoption info
All cats and kittens are vaccinated and tested for FELV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), and if old enough, are neutered or spayed.
We will ask you some questions about your home and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. We ask you to sign the KittyKind Adoption Agreement.
We will always take a cat back FOR ANY REASON. We will also work with you to place her in another good home if (after a period of adjustment) the adoption doesn't work out.
We do ask for a $125 adoption fee to help cover some of our food and veterinary expenses. For certain purebred cats (Siamese, Persian, Maine Coon, etc.), we request a $150 - $300 adoption fee.

More about this rescue
KittyKind is a New York City not-for-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer cat rescue and adoption group. All of us at KittyKind have opened our hearts and homes — and emptied our pockets — to save thousands of cats from neglect or abuse. Every cat we rescue is given food, shelter, medical care, a safe place to lay his or her head and most importantly of all, a reason to purr. We do not believe in rescuing a cat or kitten only to euthanize it if it has a broken leg or needs extended nursing care. We never give up if there is a chance of saving them. We take responsibility for each and every life we save and if a cat or kitten is unadoptable, they have a home with us for life.
We believe that animals are not property to be discarded, disposed of, or killed just for the crime of being homeless or unwanted. We believe that people should be friends, caretakers and protectors of animals. We believe that we must take responsibility for the life of every animal we rescue who through no fault of their own, is abandoned, sick, disabled, old or unable to care for themselves. We are dedicated to relieving their suffering, providing food, shelter, medical care and comfort until we can place them in a safe and loving home.
