About Jazzy (in Foster)
Listen, I understand if you don't want to read my latest interview since the IL has now written four of them. But I think you'll want to hear the good news. You may recall that I have a history of being a scaredy cat and spent much time hiding. I had been adopted as a kitten, but the noise and chaos caused by moving to this place with two young kids and two dogs were just too stressful for me to cope with. Therefore, I was surrendered to the HSHC on October 14, 2024. I was alarmed by the influx of new people, the noise, and the shelter's expectations. I used the litterbox just fine but tended to hide in my cubby rather than come out and socialize. So, on December 13, I was sent to live with a foster mom to give me a chance to relax and be in a home environment. Initially, I was extremely shy and easily intimidated. However, my foster mom (FM) has reported that I have made so much progress. My FM calls me the "sweetest little cat". I am very affectionate and will come to you when you call, especially if you are holding my brush. I like to be near you! I use my litterbox like a champ. I love being brushed, making biscuits on FM, and even sleeping on FM's chest. I still prefer being the one to make the first move, as I don't enjoy being picked up. I love receiving affection when I ask for it. I have learned to appreciate the automatic electric feeder, and it gives me confidence that I won't miss a meal. I tend to overeat, so please don't allow me to snack all day. Other cats hold no interest for me. If I can hear or smell them near the door, I will hide! My favorite pastimes include watching those YouTube videos of birds and squirrels, as well as sitting by the window. I am the perfect cat for someone who is happy having only one cat. I am now 3 years, 2 months old, and still a very pretty white and brown DMH tabby. My idea of the perfect home is one without children under 12, with no other pets, and a relatively quiet atmosphere. I'm proud of my achievements and look forward to a fresh start in a forever home. 7-8-25

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.
