About Walter
Walter could live with children aged 12+. He could potentially live with other cats and will require outdoor access
Walter is a lovely young chap who loves to explore his surrounding and find fun things to play with!
Walter sadly came in to the shelter as a stray so we know nothing about his previous life. However since being here, he has been a friendly young boy who will happily entertain himself with string and feather toys or equally enjoys human interaction. He can get a little carried away at times and use hands or ankles as toys and give them a nip, so he will be best suited to a home with older cat – savvy children.
Walter has an independent streak and will seek out your attention for a fuss before deciding that he’s ready to go off on his own adventure again!
He can be a little unsure at times, with loud noises especially, and will sometimes get spooked and hide back in his pen. Due to this, we feel that he’ll be better suited to a quiet home with a family that will be able to give him the space he needs to settle in, in his own time.
Walter is such a fun loving young lad who deserves to find his forever home where he can feel safe, loved and given the opportunity to let his quirky little personality shine!
