SAFE 7/17/16 A volunteer writes: My heart breaks for sweet, wonderful Wiley, who has been at the Care Center for a while now and continues to be overlooked by adopters. It must be his age, because otherwise, Wiley is absolutely perfect in every way. He aced his behavior exam, greets newcomers with a calm, sunny demeanor, and really enjoys pettings. His former owner raved about how friendly, active, and loving he is. He also got on very well with the female cat in the house, his former owner said, and Wiley used to groom her with devotion. Please don’t discount this handsome, hearty gentleman of a cat. He knows how to behave and make humans (and other cats!) very, very happy.
