October Being a stray cat who arrived at the HSHC on October 24 and having a predominantly orange coat are likely the reasons I was named October. But hey, it`s a great name! I am 5-years-old, already neutered, and know my way around a litter box. I know that I had an owner at one time, but so far, no one has shown up to claim me. When the medical staff examined me, they noted that I was sniffly and my nose was swollen and rather bloody. They suspected it was due to blunt force trauma. But I can`t tell them how it happened. By now, my nose is back to normal, and I have regained my inordinately handsome face. I am a tall drink of water and weigh 11.8 pounds. I am not just a dreamboat; I am also friendly, affectionate, and curious. When the interviewer lady (IL) stopped by to talk to me, I went right up to her, gave her some nose kisses, and rubbed my head against hers. She was putty in my paws! Life in the shelter can be a bit stressful, and sometimes I don`t feel like being sociable. Just to let my new owner know, I think I will need a small space I can go to when I feel overwhelmed. You will need to be patient with me while I adjust to all the changes in my life. My self-confidence could use a little improvement. But once I feel at home and comfortable, my charm and personality will shine through. 12-10-25
