Enchilada (in foster)

My story

EnchiladaSomeone explained that my name means a tortilla wrapped around meat or cheese and covered in a spicy sauce. Sounds delicious, but it`s funny because I have not had much appetite since arriving as a stray cat at the HSHC on April 25. I can tell you that the reason I hide behind my litterbox or look terrified is due to shelter stress. I am a 4-year-old male, already neutered, brown and black tabby fellow. I believe my appetite and confidence will reappear once I feel comfortable in my home. If you talk to any cats in the cattery, they will all tell you that shelter stress is real. The interviewer lady (IL) has visited me several times, and I feel braver and more willing to interact with her each time. Today, I left my litterbox room to sniff her hand, lean into her shoulder, allow her to pet me, and scratch my chin. I even began purring despite myself. I heard the IL tell another volunteer I am a sweetheart, and they agreed. Please visit me to see if we can go together, like chips and salsa! I have so much potential to bring joy and love to a new home. 5-20-25
