Rollo recently came back to the shelter from foster but is not doing well here. His original foster had to go out of town but will be back in the beginning of August. "Over the past few months, he’s become such a sweet social kitty. He’s definitely turned himself from a hissing curmudgeon to an affable goofy sweetheart. He is still very social with everyone he meets. He does tolerate pickups more frequently and for longer periods of time. Declawed front paws, overstimulation/handling sensitivity to hips and shy, needs time and space to warm up. Recommend NO children and NO other pets in home.

Meet May! May is currently in foster but will need a place to stay while her foster mom is out of town. Her foster mom mentioned "She hides behind the blinds most of the time, but she enjoys watching the birds from the windows. I am on meds twice a day.  When I remain sitting down for a while, she'll come out and ask for pets and scent mark the surroundings, even rolling around; and this happens multiple times of the day depending on how often I remain seated, and each session lasts about 10 minutes. When I'm in the same room as her, she won't come out to eat immediately, but will wait until I no longer move or make some noises. And she quickly hides after she eats some portion of the food. She likes wet food. Initiating playing toys still scares her. At night when I'm at the other side of the room, she'll come out and explore a little bit, showing some interest in the environment, playing with random stuff on the floor, and sometimes she sleeps in the cat cube bed."
