Chartreux kittens & cats in Fishers, Indiana

BluePerhaps the interviewer lady (IL) is jumping the gun a bit with posting a profile for me. You see, I was still reeling from being surrendered by my owner in June of 2024 after only living with her for 6 weeks, adopted in September 2024, but surrendered again in January 2026. It really takes a toll on a girl when you are passed around several times. I am now 8-years and 8-months old, and being back at the HSHC was quite a shock. My previous home had resident cats who were part of the family. I was totally overwhelmed and stressed by having to live with them. Sharing litter boxes, food bowls, and water dishes was hard to bear. Whenever I saw them, I would yowl, cry, and sometimes even soil myself. During a two-month period, which I called Heavenly, I lived separately from those cats. My stress level went away, and I was feeling 100% happy. Checking into HSHC again has caused my stress and anxiety to accelerate. The shelter decided I needed to go to a foster home to “de-stress”, relax, and become a happy cat again. So on February 11, I moved in with my foster mom (FM). For the first fifty hours, I was terrified, withdrawn, hissy, and lost my appetite. However, I began getting comfortable living in a bathroom and sleeping in my familiar cat carrier, which holds blankets with my scent. I have a window to watch the backyard, and a litterbox just for me that I use without problems. Gradually, I stopped hissing and growling and began making high-pitched little mew-sounds. FM understands that I am shy and fearful, but she is so pleased to hear me purring and meowing for attention. I am quite the little chatterbox now and always enjoy hearing some well-deserved compliments on my behavior. I am now relishing my time spent sunbathing next to FM’s bed and under her nightstand. FM wants you to know that I do not like hands coming at me over my head. So directly in front of my face or below my chin are my preferred approaches. FM and IL agree that it is still early days, and I need more time in my foster home. But since I am making steady progress, perhaps the public would enjoy hearing my story. If you are interested in adopting me, the HSHC can make the arrangements. 3-14-26
