About Mia
Well, I think we've finally figured me out based on the information gleaned from two owners, three foster moms, and all the cattery staff & cat volunteers at HSHC. I was first surrendered to HSHC on December 10, 2023. My owner said I didn't play well with others. In hindsight, they were probably right. I admit I have difficulty living with other cats. And because I am the kind of girl who startles easily, I can overreact if I hear a loud noise, you accidentally touch me when I don't expect it, or someone interrupts us if I'm sitting on your lap. I guess I like to feel prepared for life's little events. Never throw me a surprise party without telling me about it first! I lived with my owner for five years before I came to HSHC. I have now lived at the shelter or in a foster home for a total of 437 days! Good grief! I am 6-years-old and just now have an idea of my personal needs. I need a cat-savvy owner in an all-adult home who understands cat body language and can recognize when I become overstimulated. They will know that it's time to end our interactions. I will do my best in a low-traffic, quiet household. While you help me transition to your home, always make your presence known and approach me slowly and calmly. Give me access to enrichment activities throughout the day, such as treat dispensing and battery-operated toys, to help me tire myself out! I currently reside with a fantastic foster mom (FFM) who reads my mind! She reports that I am doing GREAT in her foster home! She says I make biscuits on her lap, sleep on top of her, and will roll over to show off my fluffy belly! She knows that I will be a great companion to the right owner. Maybe that's you! 2-20-25

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.
