Ace (in foster)

My story

AceDon`t be fooled by my perky, social butterfly-appearing photos. Yes, I am a handsome young man at 2-years-old. And I look like a real party animal. On December 20, my brother and I were surrendered to HSHC because our owner lost their home. My bro, Spade, got adopted, but I am still waiting. However, the reason for my more extended residence is I AM INCREDIBLY SHY! I lived at the Smitten Kitten Cat Cafe for a while but spent all my days hiding from the public. So, it was decided that I should transfer to a foster home to learn the ropes of being a contented kitty cat. My first foster parent reported that I became more sociable once settled into my own special room. I returned to the shelter but, sadly, became immediately overwhelmed again and reverted to my hiding spot. I am now in a 2nd foster home and this time I have a new BFF named Fawkes (you can check out his profile, too!). Living with Fawkes in our own room with lots of catnip and toys has been wonderful! I love to sit high up in the cat tree and bask in the sunshine. And - bonus! - this foster home has a little white dog who comes in each day to say hi - and I LOVE him! I know, it`s crazy - I`ve never been around a dog before, but this little guy makes me feel safe. I would prefer a home with another cat (maybe even Fawkes???) or potentially a small, loveable dog who will spend time with me. I know I put on a tough guy act, and I hiss, and I growl, and I hide ... but I promise - if you give me a safe space and lots of patience and love, I will settle down and become a wonderful companion.
