Winston - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Bellingham, Washington

Hi, my name is Winston! I'm a RED pawprint, which means I need an experienced home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Sensitive, chill, affectionate
-Can Live with Cats: Likely okay - slow and supervised intros always.
-Can Live with Dogs: Would prefer a dog-free home!
-Can Live with Kids: Adults only please
-Needs Indoor Only Home: Yes
-History of Litter Box Issues: Yes - on urinary care diet to help support. Has had issues in past homes but has been successful with the litter box in shelter.

-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: No

Meet our sweet shy guy Winston - he came to us after having litterbox issues in his previous home. After having a urinalysis, we discovered he had some crystals in his urine and has been eating the wrong diet. He is now on a C/D diet and making it in the litterbox - hooray! This guy might take some time to get cozy but a patient adopter who can give him the time and space he needs will reap the benefits of the lovey dovey cat that's soon to come! He has an affectionate side to him when you spend a few minutes to crack his code - he LOVES chin scratches. If you have the room in your heart and home for this sweet boy, consider meeting Winston today!
