Meet Hortencia
Hortencia is a wonderful balance of spicy and sweet, good with a bit of naughty. This beautiful girl started off fiery with hissing and swats, but now is a 'just a baby' enjoying belly rubs and snuggles in bed. Other than being constantly in your presence, her other favourite thing to do is watch the birds. Foster house has an invisible bird feeder attached to a window that keeps her occupied for hours!
Hortencia enjoys catnip toys and running up and down the hallway for her bedtime and post-breakfast zoomies. She loves to play chase and has been respectful of the foster house resident cat, backing off when the resident kitty signals she has had enough.
Hortencia will do best in a home that could give her space and patience as her spicy side likely comes from a bit of fear. A quieter household, maybe with another cat (she hasn't met dogs yet), would be her ideal forever home. One where she could have her own small space to start in (bedroom, rarely used bathroom, etc.) and gradually be given access to the house once she feels safe. She is a big fan of meat tubes, so this could be the way to her heart.
