Echo

My story

DOB: August 22nd, 2019 Echo came from a hoarding situation and its taken him a bit of time for him to learn to trust humans. He spent a few months at the vet along with his brothers as they were all very hissy and growly. Since coming to the foster home, all have settled down, and no one has hissed or growled since. In fact, if there is one word that could be used to describe him is that he is a snuggler. There is nothing he loves to do more than sleep on the couch with brothers. Together they have a habit of spreading out and taking over the whole thing. He cuddles up with both of his brothers but is most often seen with Phoenix and even grooms him. Echo is an affectionate big boy and loves a good head or back scratch. He so obviously enjoys this that his brothers (who are still quite nervous), will come to join him this activity, not realizing humans are the root cause of happiness. Echo loves to lie around exposing his adorable spotted belly and has even let his foster mother pet it a few times. When he is unsure about it , all he does is get up and run off. He is not at the point where he can be picked up – he will panic and do what he can to get free - but considering how far he has come since being in his foster home, there is no doubt this will eventually come when he is in his forever home feeling safe and loved and has been able to build up that trust. He may look innocent, but don’t let this fool you. While he is extremely well-behaved around the Christmas tree (except for his tail, but that’s another story), he is known to hunt down elastics and has learned to open cupboards to get at them. He also loves to counter surf as well as explore all places, be it behind the TV or the closet, yet he is very adept at not knocking anything down and shows no interest in human food. He will hunt treats and is not fussy about food at all. He is very vocal when calling out to his friends but is smart enough to realize that is not an acceptable nighttime activity and is very quiet then. Because he came from a hoarding situation, he would do best with a home with another friendly cat as most of his relaxed attitude comes from seeing other cats. Perhaps one of his brothers – Pheonix or Marlow could be that other cat?
