Hello, my name is Trombone, but you can call me T.B. for short. I’m a nine-month-old kitty with a story that’s already quite the adventure, though it hasn’t always been easy.
I was born in Tennessee, a place where the sound of music often fills the air. Unfortunately, my brother Tuba and I didn’t start our lives in a concert hall. We began our journey in a kill shelter, a place where the music of life can end far too soon for many of us. But our luck changed when a kind group of people rescued us, bringing us into a loving foster home. There, we met Kringle, Oboe, and Cello, and together, we became known as Kringle and the Rescue Symphony Orchestra.
Life in the foster home was like a beautiful symphony. We played, snuggled, and found joy in every corner of our temporary home. I loved every moment spent with my fellow orchestra members, especially during our playful rehearsals with toys. But then, the day came when I was adopted. It felt like the start of a new movement in my life's symphony, but sadly, it wasn’t meant to last. I was returned through no fault of my own, and the experience left me feeling more shy and scared than ever.
You see, I’m not a fan of loud noises and chaos. Adoption events with all their clatter and commotion make me want to hide under the nearest blanket, which I often do. I find solace under soft, warm covers, away from the overwhelming din. The noise and unfamiliarity can be so frightening that I just want to disappear.
But there’s one thing that can coax me out of hiding—Hartz Delectables Squeeze Up Treats. Oh, how I love those! I’ll beg and plead for just a taste. After savoring one of those delectable treats, I feel a bit braver and might even allow some petting and love, but only on my terms. I appreciate gentle affection, but it has to come at the right moment, preferably after I’ve had my favorite treat.
Despite my fears, I’m a social kitty at heart. I love hanging out with other cats, playing with toys, and just being part of a group. My litter box habits are impeccable, too—clean and tidy, just the way I like it.
So here I am, a shy, scared little Trombone, waiting for the right person to understand my symphony of emotions. I dream of a quiet, loving home where I can play my part in harmony with someone who gets me, someone who has the patience to let me come out of my shell at my own pace. Until then, I’ll be here, under my blanket, waiting for the next Hartz Delectables Squeeze Up Treat and the gentle hand that offers it.
