From the Foster Family: Willow is a sweet and spunky girl, ready to be your new little companion! She does take a little while to warm up to a new space and people, but once she's able to feel comfortable and confident, she loves to explore, nap, and watch the world go by through the windows. While Willow is dog- and cat-friendly, she would do best in a calmer environment, as she's previously been overwhelmed by living with too many other pets. She is a very independent girl, finding hiding places to sleep during the day or watching the room from her window perch, and will come rub up against my hands or legs when she wants affection. She also sleeps next to me in bed at night, sometimes in between my legs. Quick movements tend to frighten Willow, and she does best when I let her approach me, which she'll happily do once I've sat down. Willow would be a great cat for someone who has a busy schedule, as she's happy to spend time alone, and then catch up at the end of the day with cuddles and affection (her adopter will also get her automatic feeder, which you can program to feed her at certain times every day!) She's still a young girl, ready to settle in and grow old with her purr-fect forever family!
