Wookie’s story began at Devore Animal Shelter in June 2024, where he and his siblings were admitted alongside their devoted mother, Momma Whiskers Winn. The kittens were just five weeks old at the time, and the entire family soon became ill. Due to their condition, they faced euthanasia while still at the shelter. Before that could happen, Kitty Devore Rescue stepped in and brought the family into our foster care program. They were lovingly nursed back to health by a foster parent in California and, once well enough to travel, made the journey together to Seattle, Washington, where they settled into their long-term foster home. It was there that their foster mom gave the kittens their names, with Wookie earning his in honor of his fluffy, Chewbacca-like appearance as a baby.
Wookie had a challenging start and experienced recurrent digestive issues as a young kitten, which required extra patience and care. Happily, those troubles are firmly in the past. Today, he is healthy, energetic, and delightfully playful, especially with other cats. He thrives on companionship and interactive play, zooming happily through the house and inviting participation with the sweetest little chortles. While not overly vocal, his expressive personality shines through his antics, making him an endlessly entertaining and affectionate companion.
Guppy and Flea have since been adopted, while Momma Whiskers Winn and her two remaining kittens, Wookie and Colette, continue to wait for the loving forever homes they all deserve. If you’re interested in adopting this charming, playful Wookie-boy and welcoming him into your family, please fill out an adoption application today.
Please Note: Wookie is one of our Seattle, Washington, foster kitties and is only available to King County, WA, applicants.
