Lillia The interviewer lady (IL) told me to just be myself and explain what has happened to me so far in my life. My latest name is Lillia. I was found as a stray cat on September 14, 2025. My finder brought me to the HSHC for safekeeping along with eight other cats. It was terrifying to be picked up, put in a carrier, and taken away in a car. You see, I had spent no time with humans before this. They frightened me. Because I was so afraid, my only response to their handling and examining me was to hiss or swat and try to escape. They said I was a feral cat, which means I was undersocialized. They placed me in a comforting box with only one opening to help me calm down. On October 5, they were quite surprised to check on me and find I had given birth to 6 kittens. Sadly, they all failed to thrive and died. I am a 2-year-old Calico cat who is now spayed. I weigh only 7 pounds. Two of the toes on my left front foot are fused together. Because I remained frightened and stressed, the HSHC decided to place me in a foster home to help me unwind and relax. On January 10, I moved in with my foster mom and dad (FM, FD). I have been feeling better and better every week. Of course, I am still a shy kitty. But my courage and confidence continue to grow. I have even begun eating and using the litter box while FM has been in the room. My instinct is to run and hide when someone comes into my room. But I have discovered that I love being petted. I will relax and begin steady purring. I am curious about the rest of the house, especially their senior male resident cat. We have booped noses once! I encourage FM and FD to pet me and even allow them to brush me. Playing with my foster parents with interactive toys, like a fishing pole with a string and a feathered toy, is highly enjoyable. Their favorite trick I do makes them break out into fits of giggles. I like to run and slide across the floor on a baby blanket. I attack it and bunny-kick it. I swear it’s really cute to watch. I love receiving behind-the-ear scratches and head pets most of all. My foster parents want to continue building my socialization skills and confidence so I will be ready to move to a forever home. The HSHC will provide you with important information to help make my transition to your home successful. I’d like to forget those old days of being a frightened homeless kitty. You can help! 3-5-26
