My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Like the flower, Hibiscus is beautiful and complex!

Hibiscus came to EHS from an overcrowded municipal shelter when she was pregnant. She gave birth to her wonderfully chaotic kitten (Ginger), who was then adopted. Hibiscus thought she’d found her forever home when she was first adopted, but it wasn’t the right fit for this sweet girl. Hibiscus is now back at EHS, and is looking for her second chance at happily ever after.

ABOUT HIBISCUS
- At shelter
- Hibiscus was in foster when she gave birth, and was adopted after her kitten (Ginger). She was unfortunately returned, due to no fault of her own. Now she’s looking for her forever home once again.
- During her time in foster, Hibiscus became comfortable and showed off her quacking sounds while she played with wand toys. Her fosters nicknamed her “Ducky.”
- Hibiscus’s love language is quality time! Approach her slowly and sit with her and talk to her about life; she’s a great listener!
- This beautiful Tortie is slowly getting used to life at the shelter, but has made good strides so far! She’s a very brave girl.
- Hibiscus is a skittish cat who has had minimal experience with humans.
- Hibiscus is currently enrolled in EHS’s socialization program, where dedicated volunteers are working to help her become more comfortable around people.
- She gives hisses initially during interactions, but relaxes with soft speaking tones and slow blinks.
- Some skittish cats may remain reserved, while others may express their trust and affection in a variety of ways.
- Once comfortable, Hibiscus loves to play! Wand toys, string toys, laser points, anything she can chase and show off her hunting skills.
- Hibiscus is a toothless girl, which made her realize the joys of Churu tubes and wet food. Though, don’t be fooled, she loves her dry food! It just may be the key to winning her over…
- Hibiscus is spayed, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations.

HIBISCUS’S IDEAL HOME
- Hibiscus can be adopted alone or with another well-manered feline-friendly cat.
- A skittish cat will benefit from a calm, quiet environment, preferably without small children.
- Hibiscus is looking for patient adopters who will help her out of her shell slowly and at a pace she is comfortable with.
- Hibiscus would benefit from having a safe space, such as a small room or bathroom, where she can stay when first brought home to
