My birthday is coming up on November 13, and I will turn 4-years-old. I first became a resident of HSHC in January 2023, when I was an 8-week-old kitten. I was one of thirteen cats transferred in from Anderson. I was soon adopted and lived with this owner until he surrendered me back to the HSHC on September 5, 2026. That's a lot of dates for me to remember! I am a lovely orange-and-cream DSH female, already spayed, and I weigh 12.3 pounds. I'm including my baby picture in my interview, cause I was just so cute! My owner told the HSHC staff that I love my cat carrier and will spend time in it with the door open. Apparently, this is RARE! I am an affectionate girl who enjoys being held and petted. I used to sleep on the dad. I lived happily with two kids, aged 14 and 18. My BFF was the male hound dog. We had a blast playing together. I turn into a social butterfly when new people come to the house. I always seek their affectionate attention. If you know anything about cats, you know we despise change. During my time with this family, some BIG changes happened; for example, the daughter moved away to college. Then we moved to a new house in June. Whoa-that was too much for me to handle. At some time, my owners had my front paws declawed. OUCH!
When the HSHC examined me, they found I had a UTI. A cat with her claws and the ends of her toes cut off usually finds using the litter box very painful. I had only one litter box, and the litter was difficult to walk on. Soft, fine-grained litter, a low-entrance litter box, and possibly pain medication will help me manage this disability. When the interviewer (IL) came to talk with me, I was relaxing on top of my Kitty Kasa. But I hopped down as soon as she opened my door. I encouraged her to pet me and enjoyed all the attention. I purred and purred to show how much I liked it. Then I noticed I hadn't touched my breakfast, so I started eating while she kept petting me. Sometimes that's all it takes to get a cat to eat; we are affection-eaters. I hope my new family will understand my sore paws and how much I enjoy being sociable. 10-16-26
