If you're looking for a new best buddy, Walter is your guy! He's friendly and affectionate and will follow you around until you sit so he can claim his rightful place on your lap. He splits his time between the bed and the comfy recliner most nights. Walter likes to spend most of his time grooming or sleeping, and he isn't particularly interested in playing or looking outside. He will probably hop onto counters and high shelves when first exploring your place, so make sure to put away anything breakable. Once he has scouted out the place, he mostly sticks to ground level as he is on the clumsy side and has so far shown no interest in climbing the cat tree! Since his activity needs are very low, he would be great for someone that wants a younger cat but isn't looking to spend hours wearing out a kitten every night.

If you have more than one person in the household, Walter will give everyone their share of attention, as he has plenty of love to give and a lap is a lap! He has no issues with meeting new people and though we have not introduced him to other animals, he is very easygoing and would likely adapt to any situation. He is a quiet cat and settles in quickly, if you are unavailable he will likely find a comfy chair and sleep the day away. He is very gentle and would be content to receive head scratches and belly rubs all day long.

Walter has very soft, fluffy long hair that benefits from regular brushing. He is on a hypoallergenic diet and will do his very best to guilt you into sharing your meals, but you must resist his cute face to keep him healthy.


Note: Walter is FIV+ which means his immune system is compromised. While it's true that FIV+ kitties can have a shorter lifespan, the vast majority of FIV+ cats live perfectly normal lives. Lots of homes have FIV+ cats, sometimes even mixed in with FIV- cats, and they do just fine. With good nutrition and regular vet visits, he can live his best life with you!
