Have you ever heard of the condition heterochromia? Neither had I, but that is what they call it when you have one green eye and one blue eye. I think it's my best feature. I am a 9-year-old, female DSH with a white coat and brown tabby markings. I am spayed and use my litterbox properly. My roommate Winston and I surrendered to HSHC on May 30 because our owner was moving. Although Winston and I are not bonded, we have lived with dogs and 18- and 11-year-olds. I am still pretty playful and enjoy the toys I can chase and catch. My owner had an annoying habit of spraying us with a water bottle. I think there are much better ways to let me know you don't want me to do something. I have good manners and am very friendly with the people I know. However, I can be shy with new folks. Coming to the shelter, I have had some difficulty getting comfortable in the cattery. This means I will need plenty of time to settle in and feel safe in my new home. The medical department has noticed a serious case of flea dermatitis, with scabs from the top of my head to my tail, so my new family must ensure I receive monthly flea prevention. When I checked in, my left eye (the blue one) was a bit irritated, and I had medicine applied. My eye is now healthy. Even though being examined and taken out of my cage frightened me, the staff wrote down that I am incredibly sweet. If you provide me with a small, safe space with everything I need, I can use it as my headquarters while I adjust to all the changes in my new home. The interviewer lady (IL) and I had a lovely session of petting, scratching, and rubbing my head, chin, and neck. I pushed my head into her hand to make sure she wouldn't stop. When she finally had to leave, I pressed my head against the door to coax her back. I am eagerly awaiting the day when I get to leave the shelter and live with my new forever family. 7-4-26
