Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Derwood, Maryland

At 10 years young, Wishy is a friendly, easygoing boy with a story that speaks to his resilience. Once cared for as an outdoor “freelance feline,” Wishy’s world changed when his caretaker was no longer able to look after him. After some time fending for himself, his sweet nature led him right to the doorstep—and into the hearts—of kind strangers.

When a Good Samaritan noticed he had injured his foot, they made sure he got the help he needed. As a result, Wishy had to have his right hind leg amputated—but don’t let that fool you. This tripod is still full of love and charm. He gets around just fine and is far more focused on finding a cozy spot to relax and a human to adore.

Wishy is ready to trade his days of uncertainty for a safe, comfortable home where he can enjoy the simple things: soft beds, gentle affection, and steady companionship.

If you’ve been WISHing for a loyal, loving companion, Wishy might just be your perfect match.
