About Ace
Don't be fooled by my perky, social butterfly-appearing photos. Yes, I am a handsome young man at 2-years-old. And I look like a real party animal. On December 20, my brother and I were surrendered to HSHC because our owner lost their home. My bro, Spade, got adopted, but I am still waiting. However, the reason for my more extended residence is I AM INCREDIBLY SHY! I lived at the Smitten Kitten Cat Cafe for a while but spent all my days hiding from the public. Then I moved into Roaming Room 1 with three roommates, and I prefer to stay out of the action, curled up in a wall cubby or a Kitty Kasa. When the interviewer lady (IL) tried to befriend me, I scooted backward into my spot. I would not sniff her finger, and when she attempted to come closer, I hissed at her to make her go away. And I don't enjoy hissing! I am not a mean guy. I would love to feel relaxed and happy with people. So, it was decided that I should transfer to a foster home to learn the ropes of being a contented kitty cat. My foster parent reports that I have become more sociable since moving into my special room. I have a lot of potential, but I need an owner who can help me gain confidence and believe in my lovableness. (Is that a word?) If you are a patient person who would love to help me on my journey to social butterflyness (I KNOW that is not a word), please take me home with you. 2-24-25

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.
