Happily Homed: Willow (Radish)

We have an #adoptionupdate from Kelsey who adopted Radish (now Willow) in November 2021! At the time, Willow had three siblings up for adoption, Carrot, Green Bean, and Broccoli. Kelsey continues to buy vegetable-themed toys as a tribute to her litter and their shelter names.

“She seemed shy at first but quickly warmed up. She lets my partner, Jim carry her around in the morning before breakfast. And she sits on my lap to watch TV at night. Willow loves to sunbathe and run fast. She follows the same routine every day and sleeps in a cat bed at the foot of our bed every night.

“After a health scare in 2023 related to eating things she shouldn’t – she has fully recovered from stomach surgery. (Lock up your hair ties, people!) She has a healthy appetite and often loafs by the feeder until it goes off. Her favorite toys are feathers on a string, which she can only play with under supervision.

“We are so grateful to the Cat Care Society and often wave to you and the kitties when we drive past on the freeway. We’ve had Willow for 3 years now, and she makes our little family complete.”
