How do you do? I am likely not out and about for you to see while you read my interview. The interviewer lady (IL) still hasn't met me yet. I was surrendered to the HSHC along with my roommate Marley on May 30 because our owner was moving. Marley and I are not bonded even though we lived together my whole life. I am a 4-year-old classic black-and-white Tuxedo DSH male cat. Say that 4 times really fast! I am neutered and use my litter box like a pro. The thing is, I am shy. I mean really shy. My owner adopted me from PetSmart. I have always enjoyed playing with toys, and my BFF was the Corgi! We played together all day and would even play-wrestle. But here is a clue to my personality. If I get anxious, I might suckle on a blanket. I lived happily with an 11-year-old and an 18-year-old kid. When I first arrived at the HSHC, I was so afraid of all the changes taking place in my life that all I wanted to do was hide. If someone tried to interact with me, I would hiss, perhaps swat, and try to escape. Sound familiar? This is typical scaredy-cat reactivity. After being in the cattery for about a month, I became more comfortable with this new lifestyle. On July 15, I moved over to the Smitten Kitten Cat Cafe (SKCC). Although this place is fantastic with loads of good napping spots and places to hide, I have found out I'm starting from scratch in a new place. The HSHC staff understands that with a cat like me, I will need an extra-long adjustment period when I move to my new home. Currently, I spend most of my time hiding in the back room of the SKCC, only coming out when it is quiet and I only have to visit with the staff. The HSHC will provide you with information on helping me transition to your home and increasing my bravery, confidence, and comfort levels. I would really love to find my forever address so I can get some return address labels for my outgoing mail. I don't have a computer. 8-8-26
