Silver

My story

Hi there! My name is Silver and I am looking for my forever home. I thought I had my forever home for a couple of years, but my previous family had some hardships so they made the painful decision to surrender me back to Habitat 4 Paws. I’ve been with a great foster family for a few months and I am slowly coming out of my shell. I’ve been through so much in the last couple of years that I have a hard time trusting and adjusting to new surroundings, but I’ll get there! In my foster home, I have a playful cat sibling and a dog who’s a little bit afraid of me. In my true forever home, I’d love to have a playful cat sibling (I LOVE KITTENS!) or a small playful dog. I do have one quirk. I drink water by dipping my paw into the bowl and then licking the water off my paw. If you add ice cubes to my water bowl....wow, that's a good time!! I love scratching on my cat tree and exploring the house when it’s quiet. At first in my foster home, I wouldn’t come out of my hiding spot except at night when the house was quiet. Now, I come out and interact with my foster siblings during the day, too. I love to chase the little red dot laser pointer and that feather on a stick. I’m also the world’s best fly catcher! You humans are still a bit scary sometimes, but once in awhile I wind up in a human lap and accept all the love and scratches. I'd do better in a home without a lot of noise, so small kids might not be the best for me. I’ll learn to love you people eventually! Can I spend some time at your house? Habitat 4 Paws offers a one week home trial, but I think I may need more time than that to adjust. Talk to the good folks at Habitat 4 Paws and see what y’all can arrange. Email info@habitat4paws.org for an application. **Because we require home visits, we only adopt locally to the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
