Wilma - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Ocala, Florida

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Wilma — formerly known as Walter, thank you very much. I showed up one day outside a nice person’s house and decided, “Yep, this is my place now.” I’m a big girl with an even bigger personality, and I made quite an entrance. At first they thought I was a handsome fella, but once they got to know me, they realized I’m a fabulous lady with a voice that carries.

I’m quite the talker — I have opinions, commentary, and running updates about absolutely everything. I also growl like I’m auditioning for a tough‑cat movie role, but don’t let that fool you. It’s all part of my dramatic flair. I actually love being petted, stroked, and especially talked to. If you chat with me, I’ll chat right back.

I prefer to be the only cat in the spotlight. Other cats? No thank you. I’m a one‑queen household kind of girl.

To schedule a meet/greet with this pawsome kitty, we recommend that you complete a Pre-Adoption Application which is available here: https://www.shelteringhands.org/adoptionapplication.

For additional information, email our Adoptions Team at adoptions@shelteringhands.org. Once applications are approved the Adoptions Team will coordinate the best way for you to get your new furry family member and bring them home.
