Description George (in Foster)
George
Just because I am exceedingly handsome, please don't assume you can put one over on me. If I am not in the mood to interact, I may be hard to persuade. –Hmmm, except I do love a licky treat–and catnip makes me mellow. But most of the time, I enjoy staring at you with my gorgeous green eyes, grooming my luxurious grey-and-buff Tabby coat, and stretching upside down in my Kasa to show off my abs. The interviewer lady (IL) is learning that babytalking to me does not usually work. I am 9-years-old, 13.3 pounds, already neutered, and litter box faithful. I was surrendered to the HSHC on April 25, 2026. I know my family loved me and hated giving me up. They adopted me when I was just a kitten, and until three years ago, I was a wonderfully social fellow, well-adjusted and friendly. But I had a horrible, traumatizing event at a veterinarian's office. Their medical staff was very rough with me, and I reacted. Since this incident, I have not done well with strangers or vet visits. Now I can become overstimulated by boisterous, rambunctious behavior, even when it occurs among family members. I can hiss, growl, or swipe at the person who is upsetting me, but then five minutes later, you may find me cuddling with them on the couch. My owner says I am the sweetest boy most of the time. However, because they have seen me overreact with their little girl, and there is a new baby on the way, they feel that I need to find a new home. Some of the things I enjoyed when I lived with them include:
Being held like a baby.
Being petted on my chin, ears, and head-but nowhere else.
Playing with toys with my owners-every night, I'd carry a toy to them to play fetch, chase a laser pointer, and pounce on string toys.
I lived with a cat, and we were BFFs, but that cat passed away five years ago. The new, younger cat they brought home is just tolerable.
I like to be around the people I know and trust.
I'm not picky and will eat anything.
I like it when you call me Georgie.
Who knew that a bad vet visit would change my life so drastically? The problem with being so good-looking is that people want me to be as sweet and charming as I look. I wish I could explain that I have a hard time feeling comfortable with people. When I first arrived at the HSHC, I was nervous, fearful, and highly stressed. I now take medicine that helps to calm me. To settle into my new home and build my confidence and trust, I will need daily positive interactions, such as gentle playtime, enrichment toys, calming aids, and tasty treats. I may take several weeks or longer to comfortably adjust, so patience is important. Consistent routines and calm environments will help me feel safe. Because I have clear boundaries and will give body-language cues when I'm feeling overwhelmed, the HSHC recommends that I be placed in a home with children 10 years and older. I need a Cat-Whisperer! 6-3-26

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.
