Waffle (in foster)

My story

WaffleWho doesn`t like a waffle? I`m here to let you know I am as sweet as the syrup you pour onto 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. Now, I am closing in on 11-years-old and getting a little worried about my future. I don`t have any 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 PB&J. 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 can enjoy being alone, but I am always happy to hang out with my human. I do not like being picked up and tend to freeze in your arms. However, 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 your head is fantastic! Downers include having my toes touched or poked, loud noises or unexpected movements, and young, high-energy cats. My favorite things are relaxing with the occasional indulgence of a zoomy, 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 am a counter-surfer regarding food! The medical staff reported 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. 4-14-25
