Momma Whiskers Winn and her four babies found themselves in dire straits at the worst possible time: the height of kitten season at the shelter. Shelter staff estimated her to be around two years old at the time of her rescue in June 2024. Whiskers Winn arrived with her kittens Guppy, Flea, Wookie, and Colette, all of whom quickly became ill and were placed on the euthanasia list. A Kitty Devore Rescue angel stepped in just in time, pulling the entire family to safety. Recovery began immediately, followed by a trip to Seattle. While Whiskers Winn herself only suffered from an upper respiratory infection, her kittens battled multiple illnesses and required a longer road to health. Today, Guppy and Flea have been adopted, while Whiskers Winn and her son Wookie and daughter Colette remain in foster care, patiently waiting for their forever homes.
Whiskers Winn is a gentle, demure soul with a quietly playful streak. Though initially cautious with new people, she is sweet, loving, and deeply nurturing once she feels safe. Her mothering instincts appear to be permanent; she dotes not only on her own kittens but is also kind and accepting with other cats. She gets along well in a feline household and brings a calm, affectionate presence, balanced by surprising bursts of activity. She enjoys tussling with her kids, chasing imaginary prey, and enthusiastically “catching” bugs on cat videos, proving she still has plenty of playful spark.
Whiskers Winn would make a wonderful addition to a loving cat family, and if you don’t already have one, she would be delighted if you considered adopting her along with one of her remaining babies, Colette or Wookie.
