Well, hello again! Yes, it's me, Oak, the 7-year, 9-month-old lady cat back at the HSHC for the third time. I can only live in a home with people 16 or older and no other cats-these are my adoption requirements. Believe me, I want to find a permanent address just as soon as possible. I came to HSHC from a crowded shelter in April 2024. I got to move over to the Smitten Kitten Cat Cafe (SKCC), where I met many potential owners. I was fairly social at that time and was a real staff favorite. I loved sitting on laps, giving nose kisses, and being a "cuddle bug." I got adopted but was returned again. I even got adopted by one of the SKCC staff members who loved me to pieces. But her resident cat and I did not hit it off. So I am facing the fact that I am an energetic cat who can become bored. And when I get bored, I can get myself into trouble by swatting, hissing, or scratching to let you know I need some interactive play. Playing with me using interactive toys wears me out, helps me burn energy, sharpens my mind, and strengthens our bond. Play sessions should last 10-20 minutes, 2-3 times daily. Fishing pole toys or anything I can chase is perfect! Just make sure I get to "catch" the prey, too. I have always gotten along well with the interviewer lady (IL). She was surprised to see me back in the cattery, so I gave her head butts, nose kisses, and purred up a storm. I think it all depends on the chemistry between a human and me. I am spayed and great with the litterbox, so you can be confident in my manners. If you're ready to give a loving, active cat her forever home, come meet me today! 1-12-26

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.
