With a name like Wellington Von Floof, you know you're in for something special. This distinguished gentleman comes with a glorious coat of fluff and an independent spirit to match. While he might look like royalty, Wellington is actually a sensitive soul who's looking for a calm, understanding home that will let him settle in at his own pace.
Wellington can be affectionate - he may even treat you to a smooch or two - but everything must be on his terms. He'll need a patient adopter who isn't in a rush and is happy to let trust build over time. In return, you'll get to witness the blossoming of a truly unique personality.
To help Wellington feel safe and secure, we recommend starting him off in a designated safe room. This gives him a chance to find his bearings, learn where the litter trays are, and get comfortable enough to explore. Once he's toileting reliably, exploring confidently, and approaching for food, play, or affection, you can start to slowly introduce him to the rest of your home.
What Wellington Needs:
Choice and consent: Wellington thrives when interactions are on his terms. He's not a fan of being picked up or held, but once he trusts you, he does enjoy some gentle pats and quiet companionship.
High-value treats: Offering him tasty treats when you enter his room or when he comes to you can go a long way in building positive associations and trust.
Structured daily play: Wellington enjoys playtime with wand toys - it's not just fun, it helps him feel more confident and connected. End play sessions with a food reward in an enrichment feeder to complete the natural hunting sequence.
He's not the kind of cat who will be in your lap right away - or maybe ever - but for someone who appreciates a slow burn and the beauty of earning a shy animal's trust, Wellington Von Floof could be the perfect match.
He's fluffy, he's fancy, and he's waiting for the right person to come along and see him for the special cat he is.
Is that person you? Enquire on Pet Rescue to meet him in person!
