My name is Royal (in foster)!

Royal
As you can see in my photos, I do not feel very peaceful or comfortable. When a cat`s pupils are dilated, it`s a clue as to how they feel. Don`t get me wrong; I am grateful that a kind lady brought me and my four kittens to the HSHC. They have all been adopted, so I needn`t worry about them. But from the day I arrived here, I have felt petrified. We were rescued on June 1, 2024, but being cared for in the cattery has done little to build my trust and confidence. Being a stray cat, I have had limited contact with compassionate humans. Therefore, when the interviewer lady came to visit me, I made sure I was inside my Kitty Kasa and far away from her! I am only 3.5-years-old, good with my litterbox, and already spayed. Now, I need to find an owner who loves me no matter how shy or fearful I am. I am a beautiful girl, only 5.5 pounds, with a grey and black Tabby coat. Believe me, I WANT to learn to be a treasured pet. I am just not sure how to do it. A patient person who understands my hesitancy to relax will make all the difference in my life. I long to be loved and cherished, and I promise to return that love tenfold. 8-27-24
