Lillia (in Foster)
The interviewer lady (IL) told me to be myself and share my story. My name is Lillia. I was found as a stray cat on September 14, 2025. My finder brought me to the HSHC for safekeeping along with eight other cats. Being picked up, put in a carrier, and riding in a car was terrifying. I had never spent time with humans, and they frightened me. Scared, I could only hiss, swat, or try to escape when handled. They said I was undersocialized. On October 5, they were quite surprised to check on me and find I had given birth to 6 kittens. Sadly, they all failed to thrive and died. I was still quite stressed at being in the cattery, so on January 10, I moved into a foster home with my foster parents (FP, FM, FD). Since then, I have made remarkable progress in my social skills, my interaction with my FP, and especially with the resident cats! I have made friends with all the cats, but Catsby, the orange tabby, and I are BFFs. I am so affectionate with the kitties that I snuggle up against them as we walk to breakfast. Snuggling with these cats is like a dream come true. I am very vocal, producing a variety of chirps, trills, and meows. I am serious about my morning routine. First, breakfast; then interactive play with FM and wand toys; next, zooming through cat tunnels to chase toys. I am a huge fan of interactive play, and I will cry out to FM to come play with me if she is busy with something else. I am a very affectionate cat and crave being pet. I love receiving behind-the-ear scratches and head pets most of all. I will lie down and chirp to indicate I'm ready for my massage. I do like to be the one to instigate affection, and I don't enjoy being picked up. However, I am fond of napping in the sunshine with Catsby. My FPs think that I'll blossom in a home with other cats. They report that I have come out of my shell more than they ever expected, and it's been a joy to see me become so comfortable with them. I am a very pretty, petite 2 1/2-year-old Calico girl, already spayed, and I use the litter box without fail. I hope for a patient owner who will give me time to adjust and feel safe in my new home.

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.
