Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Willy is a chill and friendly dude looking for a place to permanently unwind. No more couch surfer for this guy! He settled in super quickly to the shelter, likely due to his huge fandom towards food, pets, and warm blankets. We aren't sure of too much more about him due to his unknown history before recently being found outside. So far he seems pretty happy to engage in everything we've thrown at him (except the car ride to the adoption center... motion sickness is not fun).

Willy was brought to the shelter with an injured ear (it should be easy to guess which one). This ear was likely injured a few times, so he developed what's known as "cauliflower ear". Luckily all it requires is weekly ear cleanings you can do easily at home! If any excessive debris or discomfort pops up, a quick vet visit will help. On occassion stronger ear drops or cleaner is needed. Willy could also use some added attention to his dental health, with a cleaning needed sometime in the future.
