Enchilada (in foster)

My story

EnchiladaSomeone explained that my name means a tortilla wrapped around meat or cheese and covered in a spicy sauce. Sounds delicious, but it`s funny because I haven`t had much of an appetite since arriving as a stray cat at the HSHC on April 25. I can tell you that the reason I hide behind my litterbox or look terrified is due to shelter stress. I am a 4-year-old male, already neutered, brown and black tabby fellow. I truly believe my appetite and confidence will reappear once I feel comfortable in my home. If you talk to any cats in the cattery, they will all tell you that shelter stress is real. The interviewer lady (IL) visited me several times, and I felt braver and more willing to interact with her each time. I finally left my litterbox room to sniff her hand, lean into her shoulder, allow her to pet me, and scratch my chin. I even began purring despite myself. On May 29, I moved into a foster home! Whew, what a relief. By the end of June, I came out of hiding and ran up to my foster mom for pets, and I even sat on her lap! That surprised both of us! I am a sweetheart with tons of potential to bring joy and love to a new home. Please visit me to see if we can go together, like chips and salsa! 7-8-25
