Wilkes is Wishing for a Second (Actually Third) Chance!



This handsome tabby fellow is Wilkes, a friendly 6 year old male picked up at a feeding station 2 weeks ago after becoming a regular over the last month.

We were able to locate his owner through his tattoo, but unfortunately, she moved to Calgary a few months ago and thought that she had found a good home for Wilkes before she left. At first things were good and she received regular updates and pics. But, at some point the guy she had trusted to care for him left the province, abandoning Wilkes (and another cat), which is how he ended up as a stray at our station.

His former owner is devastated that her beloved cat ended up on the street after her efforts to find him a good home. To make matters worse, the other cat, Andy, has not been found and is fate in unknown.

It's a sad story for her and her poor cats. Fortunately, Wilkes is safe in PFA care right now and will be listed for adoption soon. This time, we are looking for a truly permanent home that will cherish this sweet boy forever. We are hoping the third time is the charm for Wilkes.
