We get to hear about how they first met the cat. When Joe Biden had been talking at a presidential stop in 2020 on a Pennsylvania farm, Willow leapt on the stage. It was unplanned but impressed the Bidens. Not long after, they adopted the cat.

The Bidens have also adopted dogs while at the White House.

The cat is named Willow after Jill Biden’s hometown of Willow Grove, Montgomery County, Maryland.

Jill Biden grew up in Montgomery County going to school at Upper Moreland High School in 1969. Dr Jill Biden got a doctorate in education from the University of Delaware in 2007.

Dr Jill Biden is also author of a 2019 memoir Where the Light Enters: Building a Family, Discovering Myself, and other books Don’t Forget, God Bless our Troops and Joey: The Story of Joe Biden.
