Tiny Teenie Weenie (in Foster)
You may have read about or even visited my littermate, Iddle One. I was also one of those 10 cats rescued from a hoarding case and transferred to HSHC on May 12, 2026. My small size may be due to inadequate nutrition in my youth, but I see each day here as a chance to grow stronger. I was spayed when I arrived from the Low-Cost Spay and Neuter Clinic and have been given every opportunity to recover. Although I was exposed to the Calicivirus, which affects the upper respiratory tract and causes painful mouth ulcers, the dedicated care and support I received allowed me to heal. I now feel much better, and am so grateful to have a fresh start in the cattery where I can finally relax and look forward to a brighter future. The HSHC staff believe that with patience and kindness, even an undersocialized kitty like me can blossom. I am even smaller than Iddle One at only 4.4 pounds. My medical exam also found two healed scars on my nose, thinning hair on my back, a bobtail, and urine stains on my feet and legs. I am mostly white with brown tabby markings-though from my past, my legs are a little yellowish. While it was tough growing up in a hoarding situation, I am hopeful that my two-year-old heart can find happiness and trust. When I first met the interviewer lady (IL), I was shy and hid under my bed, but I found the courage to let her pet me. I realized these new experiences can help me find comfort and friendship. The folks at HSHC know that a gradual, gentle introduction to a new home and family will help me blossom. They recommend giving me a small, safe space and lots of encouragement, so I can grow more confident until I'm ready to explore. I'm also set up for success on Hill's C/D Stress diet and truly believe my new beginning is just ahead. 6-8-26

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.
