Matilda If my name sounds familiar, it`s because I have been at the HSHC before. I was nearly 6 years old when I was found as a stray in 2014. I was adopted in February 2015, but after 10 years, my owner brought me back to the shelter on December 18 as unwanted. Imagine being 17-years-old and left at the shelter. If I could cry, I would. I`m still an attractive Torbie (tortoiseshell and tabby), a tiny gal, under 7 pounds. The interviewer lady (IL) has published my two interviews, and now this is my third. I am living in a foster home because being in the shelter is scary and noisy. My foster mom says my litterbox skills are perfect. I enjoy exploring this place and will let them pick me up, but I want to get down soon. She has been working on the mats in my coat. I am keeping my paws crossed that my situation will touch someone`s heart and they will take me home to spend the rest of my golden years with love. Once I get to know someone, I will show them my lovable personality. I prefer a calm, familiar environment; I enjoy drinking water from the faucet; I love napping in a comfy spot in the sun when it`s available. I`m not the cat for children, as they don`t read cat signals very well. If you are a patient person fluent in cat language, we could have a rewarding relationship. When it comes to taking care of me, it`s straightforward: feed daily, yearly checkups, love forever. And, in my case, the love forever part is a cinch because I am a sweet, old lady cat. I have tested positive for FIV. [FIV is a virus found only in cats that can lower a cat`s immune system. I can live a long, happy life with regular vet visits, a healthy diet, and an indoor-only lifestyle.] All I want in life is an owner who understands me and loves me for who I am. 2-3-26
