Beau (in foster)

Beau This just in! On 2-25-24, my foster mom reported that I was doing very well. I am sweet-natured and love being close to my humans, sleeping, cuddling, or being in the same room. However, I get startled easily and sometimes jump when people approach me suddenly. I am still very hesitant to be around the cats in the house, but I do get along great with the dog! My dog friend and I sit with each other and sometimes boop noses. I still require plenty of time to learn to trust, but once I do trust you I will become your shadow and follow you everywhere! On October 31, 2023, I was found in Carmel getting ready to go "trick or treating." I ended up at the HSHC, where I've been treated like a king. Being a stray cat, 6 years old, and unfamiliar with the idea of being a pet, I was freaked out initially. I was given a complete check-up, my live fleas were treated, and I was neutered. I went to live in a foster home to learn to trust people and relax. However, this is when I discovered that I don't like cats! I began to terrorize the boy and girl cat in my foster home. My foster mom had to split us up! She said that when I feel scared (most of the time!) I tend to freeze rather than flee. I let her pick me up, hold me, and even brush me, but I still could not relax and enjoy it. So, I am a unique combination of a bully to cats and a coward with people. I need a confident, patient owner who can give me all the time I need to become a brave family member. Obviously, I should be the only cat in the household. I'll do my best to be courageous! 1-24-24
