Description Bentley (in Foster)
Bentley
Imagine being born and raised in one home by one person for all 12.5 years of your life. You only visited the veterinarian once when you were spayed as a kitten. The only human you spent time with was elderly; then she passed away. I was surrendered to the HSHC in late January 2024, and believe me when I say I was TERRIFIED. Because I was so upset, confused, stressed, and depressed, I moved into a foster home, where I have lived since February. It took me eight weeks before I would approach my foster parents without hissing, growling, or nipping. Remember, I only knew one human being! Life had turned upside down for me. After eight months of patient, loving care, I will accept pets from my foster parents on my terms. I sometimes even lie next to them on their bed. I genuinely love to hang out with them. I would benefit from a patient and loving home that will introduce me to new environments and people very slowly and carefully. I crave a quiet home with minimal foot traffic and not many visitors. The shelter recommends that everyone in the house be 18 or older and that I be the only pet. A solid routine and Churu sticks (a delicious squeeze cat treat) are the way to my heart. By the way, I am a beautiful Calico girl. 10-6-24

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.
