Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello there! My name is Sweet William, and I am a handsome, affectionate buff-tabby-and-white fella who was born about June 2015. I am such a LOVER BOY!!! I purr constantly, eat voraciously, and beg for petting!! I particularly like my foster mom to run her fingernails up and down my backbone, under my neck, and behind my ears! I have never had my ears rubbed nor my tail scratched before going into foster care, so I am in ecstasy! I also like my foster mom to coo over me in her high-pitched 'kitty-only' voice.
I'm a fun-loving dude who loves to play with balls, bottle corks, and chip-bag clips. In my more peaceful moments, I like sitting by the window and 'talking' to the birds, lizards, and feral cat I see. I'm an affectionate boy who prefers to sleep on my foster mom instead of beside her.
Believe it or not, I had rather hardscrabble beginnings before I came into her foster care. I had been living at a trailer park where I had gotten into several nighttime altercations with other un-neutered toms. A nice lady let me briefly come inside her trailer and fed me. She had a cute little intact female, and I had a blast fathering two litters of kittens. The second litter set this lady in a panic, so that's when Buster's Friends came in to neuter me, vaccinate me, and have me tested for FeLV/ FIV. Thank heavens I was negative!
I am so sweet and social that I certainly didn't need to be released back into the trailer park. So my foster mom stepped up to bring me to live safely inside full-time and be the recipient of all of her TLC. It was a learning curve, at first, for me to adjust to living strictly indoors. I used to be petrified of the ceiling fan, vacuum cleaner, blow dryer, and outside noises. Plus I would run and hide under the bed when her little munchkin preschool grandchildren came to visit.
However, my foster mom was patient with me, and after only a week, I let her grandsons pet me. In less than 3 weeks, I jumped on her bed to sleep with her even when the ceiling fan was whirling above! All I needed was some 'time and love' in order for my craving for people's affection to overcome my skittish fears of the unknown and the brand-new!
Now that I have adjusted to my foster home almost completely, I will await finding my forever, lifetime home. I have so much love to give and am so laid-back and friendly that I am confident that I will fit into many families.
