When the interviewer lady (IL) wrote my first interview, I was called Esme. I had transferred to HSHC from Muncie. It was 2023, and I was only 1-year-old and looking forward to being adopted. On March 14, 2023, I went home with a new owner and my new name, and lived with her for 3 years. At some point during this time, I developed a seizure disorder. I am now 4-years-old and I take medication to help control my seizures. I was surrendered back to the HSHC on March 7, 2026, because my owner felt it was not a good fit. A week later, I moved into a foster home, where things have gone well. My seizures have changed my personality from affectionate and outgoing to reserved, cautious, and less cuddly, but my foster mom (FM) says I'm easy to care for and haven't had seizures in her care. I enjoy interactive play sessions and being near people, as long as you don't expect me to be physically affectionate. I've explored the house, met the resident dogs, and easily take my medicine with my favorite food. FM says I am misunderstood: no longer a lap cat, but an independent lady who'd thrive in a calm, gentle household with someone who respects my boundaries. HSHC recommends daily positive interaction, toys, calming aids, and treats to build my trust. Adopters should have patience and realistic expectations throughout my life. I'm easy to redirect, playful, housetrained, happy living with another cat, and love cozy naps. If you aren't touchy-feely either, we'd be a great match. 3-23-26
