Waffle (in foster)

My story

WaffleWho doesn`t like a waffle? I`m here to let you know that I`m as sweet as the syrup you pour on your waffles. My orange and white coat inspired my name. I`m fluffy, not stuffy, with a friendly, outgoing personality. My original owner surrendered me to HSHC in 2021 because he was moving. I was adopted a month later but was returned in March 2025. Near the end of April, I moved into a foster home to give me a break. Now, I am 11-years-old and getting a little worried about my future. My interview is the only way of letting the public know I`m available. That is why I let the interviewer lady (IL) visit me and hear my story. She and I got along like peanut butter and jelly. My foster mom (FM) told the IL the following facts she has learned about me. I love being near you, and I love pets!! I`m not a fan of being hugged or picked up, but I will let you. It takes me a while to get comfortable with you or the environment, and I can be easily scared. I enjoy having a good conversation with you if you start talking to me. I will reach out to you when I want attention or food. I am neutered and litterbox trained, but I require a high-sided box because my aim is not always perfect. I am a fairly independent cat who enjoys alone time, but I`m always happy to hang out with my human. When you lie on the couch or in bed, I will mosey up there to lie with you. I have learned that sleeping at the end of the bed is fine, but sleeping by my FM`s head is fantastic! Downers include having my toes touched or poked, loud noises, unexpected movements, and being around young, high-energy cats. My favorite things are relaxing with occasional zoomies, being an indoor cat (it`s wild out of doors!), greenie treats, stuffed mice, jingle ball toys, and kitty tunnels. Oh, and I`m not sure if this is good or bad, but I`m a counter-surfer when it comes to food! The medical staff reported that I tested positive for FIV. FIV is a virus found only in cats that can weaken a cat`s immune system. However, I can live a long, happy life [even with FIV-negative cats] with regular vet visits, a healthy diet, and an indoor-only lifestyle.] It`s no big deal. The IL told me about her FIV+ cat, who lived to be almost 18. I promise that you won`t be able to say `no thanks` to taking me home once you meet me. 7-7-25
