About Sir Randall (In Foster)

Sir Randall
Long time, no see! I was a stray cat brought to HSHC in October 2017! I was soon adopted, and I'm not sure when or how I ended up in the Tipton County Humane Society. But on June 14, 2025, I returned to HSHC. These new digs are a big improvement on the old building. Of course, I've aged a bit. I am now 13 years & 9 months old, neutered, and my front paws are declawed. I am on the skinny side, weighing 6.5 pounds. I am mostly white with some brown tabby markings. The medical staff gave me a thorough work-up and discovered I have Hypothyroidism. This condition can be managed lifelong with a reasonably priced medication. I can live a long, healthy life with this treatment. I moved into a foster home on June 24. My fabulous foster continues to provide the interviewer lady (IL) with a detailed report on my progress. Here are some updates!

Sir Randall has been making remarkable progress! Since starting his hyperthyroid meds, he has been steadily gaining weight and showing a great appetite. His excitement for wet food and treats is genuinely heartwarming.
-His coat has been developing quite nicely, and he is doing a decent job caring for the majority of it on his own. He still needs help cleaning up his feet and face from time to time. He has let me wash his feet, trim his back nails (he's front declawed), and clean his face again since his initial bath without much fuss.
-He has gained some confidence in exploring and asking for things he wants, but he still feels most comfortable in the room he knows is his. He has become quite talkative and will let me know when he wants food or attention.
-He has been great about using the litter box. He has not had a single accident!
– He has decided he's really not a fan of our dog and only tolerates our younger cat. He does just fine with our older two cats because they're all content to coexist without much interaction. There haven't been any significant incidents that would lead me to say he can't live with dogs at all; he is just clearly uncomfortable with them (even with our dog, who either ignores or avoids him when they are in the same space).
-Temperament-wise, he's an adorable cat. He's somewhat hesitant at first and still tends to run and hide from anything unexpected or new, but he came to trust me very quickly and will come to me when he's feeling unsure. He doesn't tend to sit on my lap for long, but he is very cuddly when he can sit or lie down against me. He's a vocal fellow and will follow me around and chat when he wants attention.

I have included some new photos my foster sent to IL. I think it is clear that I am a desirable cat. I am looking forward to the next chapter of my life. I'm ready to bring joy to a new home. 8-6-25
