Imagine spending half your life waiting for a forever home.

Betty and Wilbur have done exactly that. At almost six years old, these two shy, bonded cats have spent more than half their lives at Tri-Lakes Humane Society. And this Friday marks their 1,070th day in our care.

Now, as construction transitions inside the shelter, the place they trusted and felt comfort in will become loud, confusing, and frightening.

For cats as gentle and timid as Betty and Wilbur, the need for a safe, quiet home has never been more urgent.

They have waited long enough. What they need now is someone patient, someone kind, someone willing to let them find their courage in a real home—together.

If you can give Betty and Wilbur the second chance they deserve, please apply to foster: https://www.trilakeshumanesociety.com/about-4
or adopt: https://www.trilakeshumanesociety.com/formadopt

Their 1,070-day wait could end with you 💙
