Say hello to Willie! Willie,
formerly Avos, was placed with a foster parent when he first came to Berkeley
Humane. Willie’s foster mom loved his kittenish antics and sweet demeanor so much
that she ended up adopting him! We’re incredibly happy to hear about what a
great life Willie has.
Willie sounds like a
real little lion! Thank you to Willie’s mama for sharing the update!
We’re so glad that we have a wonderful network of foster parents at Berkeley Humane who help shape our animals lives for the better. Their patience and kindness can do so much for animals to help them get adopted and find a great match.

| Willie as a kitten... |
I adopted Avos (now Willie) in May 2013 and
wanted to share a quick update and some photos.

| ...and Willie all grown up! |
Willie is such a handsome boy! His eye, which
was very badly infected when he was about 7 weeks old and took a long time to
heal, is completely normal now - it still waters more than
the other eye, but doesn't seem to have any permanent damage at all. He finally
grew into his fur—he used to be a ball of fluff but now he is
shaped like a real cat. Except his tail, which is still wild and
fluffy and excellent for dusting behind couches.
And he is such a sweetheart. He purrs whenever
he is picked up (by anyone, at any time). He is very fond of licking fingers
and faces. He does occasionally get excited and play-bite my hand but
immediately makes amends with much licking.
It didn't take long to adapt to his new
stepsisters (my older cats), and things are going great. (Although they
are not quite as enthusiastic about constant wrestling as he is. But they are pretty
tolerant.)
[Since
his adoption in May, Willie] is still a sweetheart and his tail is even crazier—looks
like the wrong species (raccoon? squirrel?). It turns out he's pretty tolerant
of being in a harness and comfortable in crowds, so he often accompanies me to
family barbeques.
