If my name sounds familiar, it's because I have been at the HSHC before. I was nearly 6 years old when I was found as a stray in 2014. I was adopted in February 2015, but after 10 years, my owner brought me back to the shelter on December 18 as unwanted. Imagine being 17-years-old and left at the shelter. If I could cry, I would. I'm still an attractive Torbie (tortoiseshell and tabby), a tiny gal, under 7 pounds. The interviewer lady (IL) has published my two interviews, and now this is my third. I am living in a foster home because being in the shelter is scary and noisy. My foster mom says my litterbox skills are perfect. I enjoy exploring this place and will let them pick me up, but I want to get down soon. She has been working on the mats in my coat. I am keeping my paws crossed that my situation will touch someone's heart and they will take me home to spend the rest of my golden years with love. Once I get to know someone, I will show them my lovable personality. I prefer a calm, familiar environment; I enjoy drinking water from the faucet; I love napping in a comfy spot in the sun when it's available. I'm not the cat for children, as they don't read cat signals very well. If you are a patient person fluent in cat language, we could have a rewarding relationship. When it comes to taking care of me, it's straightforward: feed daily, yearly checkups, love forever. And, in my case, the love forever part is a cinch because I am a sweet, old lady cat. I have tested positive for FIV. [FIV is a virus found only in cats that can lower a cat's immune system. I can live a long, happy life with regular vet visits, a healthy diet, and an indoor-only lifestyle.] All I want in life is an owner who understands me and loves me for who I am. 2-3-26

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
