Good Fella
How's it goin'? I'm doin' great now. I was brought to the HSHC on September 17 as a stray cat, and things were fine until the medical exam. When they drew blood and gave me some needle pokes, I let out a caterwaul to show my disapproval. So even though I might look like a tough guy, I'm really a scaredy-cat when it comes to medical procedures. I'm a 6-year-old DSH male, already neutered, 12.5 pounds, with a black-and-white tuxedo coat. I'm a pretty easy-going feline, and I am tolerant of being handled. I just don't like needles! I caught a cold soon after arriving, but I have recovered, and I'm feeling fit as a fiddle. I met with a potential adopter on October 22, and I was very affectionate. I even jumped up to be next to her. I met with the interviewer lady (IL) a few times, and we always got along well. She brought her bear claw back-scratcher-thingy, and I had a blast rubbing against it. I rubbed my head against her cheeks and let her pet me all over. She told me I was named after one of her favorite movies: Good Fellas. She also complimented me on my little black goatee. I think it makes me look real sophisticated. If you've been looking for a handsome, debonair Fella, I'm your guy! 10-27-26

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.
