Patient Paw & Seniors (7+ Years) Information:
The WRHS recognizes that, whether it’s due to looks, size, age, or personality, some cats remain in the shelter/foster program longer than others.  Patient Paws animals have spent a longer-than-average time in the shelter and they are excited to find the perfect family! Sometimes our Patient Paws cats tend to be older and less adoptable, but they all flourish with lots of love, patience, space, and time. 

Barn Buddy Information:
Barns or warehouses must be heated or well insulated and these cats must not be expected to fend for themselves.
