🐾🩶INTRODUCING WESLEY 🩶🐾

Hi… I’m Wesley. I might look like a confident young lad now, but that wasn’t always the case. I’ve come such a long way since the Angels gave me a second chance. I’m still learning how to trust hoomans properly, but every single day I get a tiny bit braver — and a whole lot happier.

Nature
Before the Angels took me in, I ended up at the vets with no one wanting me. I wasn’t looking my best back then — a bit scruffy, a bit sad, and definitely not the handsome boy I am today! I understand why people walked past me… but I’m so grateful someone finally stopped and saw the sweet little soul underneath.

I’m a gentle boy with a soft heart, and I like to take life at my own pace. When I first arrived in foster care, I hid all day long — like, all day. But now I come out for my meals, relax in my favourite spots, and explore the house even when the hoomans are awake.

And the biggest change of all? I now LOVE my rubs. But only in my safe place — that’s where I feel brave enough to enjoy them. I’ll happily lean in for head rubs and booty scratches, but when I’ve had enough, I’ll let you know with a gentle little swipe. I’m polite like that.

Oh — and I’m a smart little cookie too. I’ve even mastered the Litter Robot all by myself. Pretty impressive for a shy boy, right!

I’m not sure if I’ll ever be a full-on lap cat, but I’m trying really hard to grow, learn, and trust in my own time. My Foster Mumma tells me all the time that I’m a gorgeous boy. I just need someone willing to take a chance on me… someone who sees the sweet, gentle kitty I’m becoming. With the right family by my side, I know I can keep growing into the loving boy I’m meant to be.

Will someone give me my fur‑ever home?

Companions (Children, Cats & Dogs)
I’m still a bit unsure about hoomans, so I’d love a home with patient, gentle people who understand that I need time to feel safe. Adults and teenagers are totally fine — as long as they let me come out of my shell when I’m ready.

I’ve also made a special friend in foster care — a lovely girl named Cotton. We play chasey around the house and have friendly little wrestles. Having another cat around really helps me feel braver, so I’d love a home with a friendly feline buddy.

Dogs? I haven’t met any up close yet, but the ones who bark outside don’t scare me. With slow introductions, I think I could learn to be okay with a calm doggo friend too.

Likes/Dislikes
✅ Food — seriously, it’s my absolute favourite thing in the world.
✅ Head rubs and booty scratches (in my safe place only)
✅ Sitting on the scratcher and watching the house like a tiny security guard.
✅ Playing chasey with Cotton.
✅ Exploring when the mood strikes!

❌ Not a fan of being picked up (maybe one day… but not right now)

My PURR‑fect home would be with a loving family who understands that I’m still learning how to be brave. I’d do best somewhere calm and gentle, where I can come out of my shell in my own time without any pressure. Having some friendly feline companions would really help me feel more confident too — they’re like little furry cheerleaders.

Perth Rescue Angels recommends all cats are indoor only, unless they have access to a secure cat enclosure.
