My name is Willow!

Willow was a stray kitten found outside of a Goodwill almost 10 years ago. We believe she was part of a spay and release program because she was fixed and had her left ear clipped. She was our first pet after moving out on our own, and shortly after we adopted another tuxedo cat named Benji (seen pictured). They were the best of friends and loved each other very much. Once I had my first child, Willow became very reclusive and only came out at night when it was quiet but she still loved being around Benji. Unfortunately Benji became ill and passed away from kidney failure about 5 years ago. I have since had 3 more children and she still wants nothing to do with them. Willow stays exclusively in our basement, and never wants to come up the stairs. She only comes out of hiding when I go down to feed her and obviously I can’t stay down there forever. I fear that she is very lonely and depressed, and is in need of a new living situation to live the rest of her life to the fullest.
