Binky (in foster)

My story

BinkyFrankly, I don`t know what all the fuss is about. I am closing in on 9-years-old who is spayed, uses the litterbox faithfully, eats well, and plays with the toys I`m given. I am a beautiful, petite, jet-black female with a long, lustrous coat. Just because I like things the way I like them does not mean I am a bad cat. Yes, I`m picky about when and how I interact with people. And yes, I prefer to be allowed access to the out-of-doors during the day and welcomed back in at night. I am a playful girl; my favorite toys are string toys and things I can bat around the floor. I do not care for children, and I do not tolerate other animals in my home. Despite my objections, I gather that my owner of eight years preferred to permit those creatures in the house. That is why I was surrendered to the HSHC on March 9. Good grief! What did the woman expect? She found me as a stray kitten and knew my personality from the beginning. The shelter staff decided I would be happier in a foster home where I could relax and escape the hustle and bustle of the cattery. The only hitch in this plan is that my foster mom (FM) has never fostered a cat before, and she recognizes that I can be somewhat spicy. She appreciates that I am usually in a calm mood. However, I am currently not in the mood for much interaction with her, and I occasionally hiss at her to make her understand this. Luckily, she also figured out that I would need a long time to fully trust her and feel comfortable. The HSHC staff recommends that I be adopted into an adult-only home without any other pets. I will probably take longer to adjust to my new address than you think necessary. But it will help develop my confidence and sense of security to have calming aids, interactive toys, regular play sessions, and yummy treats. Don`t you agree that a bit of spice makes life interesting? 5-14-25
