Meet Storm!

STORM UPDATE!! Storm has been interacting with another cat in the room next to him. With that said, we think he would be a much better cat with a friend!!

Male/Neutered

Age: 7 Months

Adoption Fee: $350

Storm arrived at WARL on 1/24/26; the day after the Winter Storm of 2026! And that's how he earned his name. He was spotted in a backyard and had to be safely trapped before coming to the shelter. At first, Storm seemed simply frightened, but we've since realized he may have grown up with very little human interaction.

Right now, Storm is living in a cozy "condo" in the front of the rescue where he can safely watch the world go by. He sees and hears people every day, and our staff spend time gently visiting, talking, and offering play sessions to help him build trust. And we're already seeing small signs of curiosity peek through.

Storm isn't your typical outgoing kitten. He's a project with a big heart waiting to bloom. For the right adopter, there is something incredibly special about earning the trust of a shy kitty and watching him transform at his own pace. If you're patient, compassionate, and understand that love is sometimes a slow and beautiful process, Storm could be your perfect match.

We didn't want to leave him off our available list simply because he needs a little extra understanding. There are amazing adopters out there who find joy in helping a shy kitten discover that the world and people can be safe.

Come meet Storm, sometimes the quietest kitties have the most powerful stories.
