About Twix
I was born at the HSHC in 2021, and I have been adopted and returned two times, due to allergies and being unwanted. Take a gander at my baby picture and tell me I'm not a cutie-patootie. I'm a charming fellow, neutered, litterbox proficient, and healthy. I lived with my owners, their dogs, and their kids aged 7 to 12, and I thought we were happy. I am now 4.5-years-old, with a dark brown Tabby coat with white feet, chin, and belly. I have always been a curious, active, playful boy, with an intense need for interactive play. You know, when a child or a pet with excess energy is bored, they can get into things you don't want them to. If only my owners knew that young cats must have things to occupy their minds. Cat trees to climb, toys to play with my owner, and appropriate scratching posts or pads are all crucial to my kitty contentment. Having interactive playtime several times a day will keep me satisfied and ready for a nap. Because I am an enthusiastic litterbox user, a closed-top box helps me keep the mess to a minimum. When I visited with the interviewer lady (IL), I rolled onto my side for belly rubs and chin scratches. When I want attention, I will climb into your lap, but if you try to put me in your lap, I'll leave. I can get grouchy when I get too much petting. Reading my body language will be the key to stopping the touching before I react. Ironically, I love having people around me all the time. I do not enjoy being all alone for hours on end. Call me a needy nugget, but I love my family. 2-9-26

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.
