About Peepers (in Foster)
Oh, hello, dear. So glad you are reading my biography. My name is Peepers, but I like to be called Miss Peepers. After all, I am 15-years-old, and you wouldn't call your granny by her first name. I am a petite Tortoiseshell lady whose owner's health began to fail, so I was surrendered to the HSHC. I've been living in a foster home since Thanksgiving. I must say, my foster mom, has been most kind and accommodating. You see, I have diabetes, which requires some special treatment, but she is managing it quite well. I don't mind the insulin shots, but having my blood tested is not my favorite way to spend time! She appreciates that I have impeccable litterbox manners. She also understands that I am relatively shy and will retreat to a hiding spot when necessary. I am much more comfortable now and will come out with a bit of sweet talk. I love being petted and having my chin scratched. I enjoy lying close to my foster mom and sleeping next to her at night. Please do not grab or pick me up; I don't like being cat-handled. My favorite thing is a good nap on soft, fluffy blankets or a pillow as often as possible. My boisterous, playful days are behind me, but I enjoy it when a fishing pole toy with a feather is tossed in front of me. I like a predictable routine and a fairly quiet home. Small children are not my cup of tea. My foster mom says I am a "sweet companion" with beautiful green eyes and a very soft coat. If you have a soft spot for little old ladies, perhaps you'd like to meet me! I'll put the kettle on. 1-27-25

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.
