About Willfred & Zinnia *9 Lives Project rescue*
Meet Willfred & Zinnia 💙🌸
Bonded Pair – Must Be Adopted Together
Willfred and Zinnia share a very special bond and need to go to their forever home together.
Willfred is a young, handsome lad who can be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe he enjoys head pats and gentle affection. He is still gaining confidence with being picked up, but allows short handling and continues to make steady progress.
Zinnia is a shy and reserved sweetheart who takes a lot of reassurance from Willfred, especially around people. In a new environment, it may take her a day or so to feel comfortable with pats, but once she sees Willfred relaxed and enjoying affection, she will happily join in.
Zinnia is good with dogs, and both cats thrive in a calm, patient home. Zinnia is not currently a fan of being picked up, but with time, love, and Willfred’s support, her confidence is expected to grow.
These two bring comfort and confidence to one another and would do best in a home that understands shy cats and allows them to settle at their own pace. In return, they’ll offer quiet companionship, trust, and a beautiful bond that’s a joy to witness.
If you’re looking to open your heart and home to a bonded pair, Willfred and Zinnia could be the perfect match. 🐱💞

Medical notes
Special Care Note – Willfred
Willfred has blocked tear ducts, which is a lifelong condition. This simply means his eyes can have a bit of tear build-up, and his new family will need to gently wipe his eyes regularly to keep the area clean and prevent the skin around his eyes from becoming sore.
This is an easy part of his daily care and something he is used to — just a little extra TLC to keep him comfortable and happy. 💙🐾
