Featured Pet of the Month

featured pet of the month image: Wilford Brimley

Wilford Brimley

This distinguished gentleman of a cat is equal parts snugglebug, lap-warmer, and charming curmudgeon. Much like his famous namesake, Wilford Brimley (Brim) comes with a deep, soothing purr that could probably sell you oatmeal or read you a bedtime story. The moment you touch him—or better yet, bring him food—he rumbles like a bass note. Wilford Brimley the cat is an absolute people's cat. He loves to be brushed, petted, cuddled, and adored by anyone willing to give him attention (kids included!). He takes his insulin shots like a champ—seriously, you won't even see him flinch—and thanks to his care, his “diabeetus” is well-managed these days. That said, he's a chow hound who can't be trusted with an open buffet. He'll eat anything in sight faster than you can say “Quaker Oats”, so he needs a family who can help him stick to his special diet. He sheds a bit and needs regular brushing (which he enjoys anyway).

Now, let's be honest: Wilford Brimley is not a fan of other pets. Dogs? Absolutely not. Other cats? He's unpredictable at best, scrappy at worst. His ideal role in life is as your one-and-only—your faithful companion, your lap-warmer, your oatmeal-commercial co-star. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, people-loving cat who will give you endless love (and a touch of dramatic flair), then Wilford Brimley is ready to make your home his forever. Wilford Brimley (again, the cat) is neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated. His adoption fee is $50! Follow Wilford “Brim” Brimley's journey on our Facebook page.

Adoption fee: $50
