I am so pleased to meet you. I understand you are reading my interview to learn more about me and, hopefully, adopt me. That is my sincere wish! I am a 12-year-old, petite, brown-and-white DSH with tabby markings. My owner had me for one year before she surrendered me to the HSHC in October 2025. In the past, I was never spayed. But just yesterday that was taken care of! Upon arrival, the medical staff determined I had an URI, for which I was given medication and daily nebulization treatments. Right after Christmas, I moved into a foster home to aid my recovery. My foster mom (FM) reported that I was a very friendly girl who spent time in a small bathroom as a comfortable retreat. If someone walked by, I would come out for some welcome 10-minute petting sessions. I enjoyed sleeping in bed with whoever offered me a space! I got along so well with the 14 and 16-year-old kids. I even decided to cuddle up on someone's chest and make biscuits, while they watched TV! I have used my litterbox without fail in my foster home. I prefer to have someone close by while I eat-I get lonely otherwise. I have been busy exploring the whole house and relaxing on beds and couches. I love those combo, crunchy/soft cat treats! I had to move back to the shelter in mid-January because my URI flared up again. But now I am in Cattery 2 waiting to find my new, forever owner. You can see by my FM's photos that I'm a cutie pie! 2-10-26

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.
