Man! I can't believe the change in my attitude just from receiving TLC from the HSHC! I was picked up as a stray cat on December 27 and brought to the shelter. The sudden departure from my familiar lifestyle-roaming, scrounging, trying to stay alive, and hiding from strangers-shocked me to the core. I was hissy, grouchy, fearful, stressed, and feeling very sick. The medical team discovered that I had a raging ear infection in my left ear, with the likelihood of it being a long-term situation. My ear was already cauliflowered from multiple infections. I also had an upper respiratory infection. Hey, these are just the consequences of being a stray; there was nobody taking care of me. They got down to business, finding the right treatments and medications for me. In short, it's no wonder I was feeling so crotchety and unsociable! I was in major pain!! But yesterday, when the interviewer lady (IL)stopped by to talk with me, I was a new man! Before, I was moping around, nervous and reluctant to engage with people. But now I was eager to have her pet my head, give me chin scratches, and cheek rubs! I even rolled over onto my back and hung my head over the edge of my Kasa to make it easier for her to go to work on my itches. I was in hog heaven because I had never felt this good in my 4-years on this earth! The photo lady (PHL) agreed with the IL and took my picture. They both said I was super-duper cute and happy! Here's the real scoop on me. When I am healthy and feeling pain-free, I am a true cuddle-monster, loving attention, petting, and curling up on your lap. I am ready to find a fantastic forever home, with a loving owner who will take care of me and prevent those awful ear infections. No kidding! I am an adorable fellow with lots of affection to share! Just ask the IL, the PHL, and the Cattery Manager, Melody! 2-6-26

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.
