Date of Birth: 7/20/2026 | Hi I'm Wilber. I love to cuddle and be held. I will hang out and cause mischief: I will steel your pen if your writing or hop in a box if you're on your computer. I will watch TV with you on the couch and snuggle. I also appreciate a pillow and a bed. I love to snuggle in bed with my human. I was a bottle baby so I like people a lot! I'm very affectionate. I'm still a kitten and love to play with toys. My favorite toys are balls and small mice. I also like things that move. I like other cats and love to play with them too. I would not mind living with another cat or dog.

Adopting a cat in Mesa

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
