My Story

Here's what Honey Boy's foster has to say, `This is the sweetest cat and we rate him 10/10. Honey Boy is a superb work-from-home companion and a frisky, kid-friendly playmate. We got Honey Boy from the shelter in mid-February as a special needs cat because his pelvis was broken. He was tripping on his pain meds for the first few days and kind of smelly and dirty. As he healed and warmed up to us, he started taking care of his own hygiene and really bonded with our family (kids are 8 and 11 years old). He was released by the shelter vet for adoption on 3/10/25. We don’t have other cats or dogs, so we can't give any report about whether he likes other animals. Now, he is a different cat entirely from the one we first fostered. He is so friendly and sociable. He helps Rebecca work from home every weekday by napping, getting frequent pets, and keeping watch on the street from the window of our home office. He gets frisky when the kids get home from school and does his hilarious and frequently goofy wrestling and playing with cat toys with the kids. We have three toilets that he closely monitors for captive potential petters. He sits on the couch with us when we watch a movie. If we’re upstairs, he’s upstairs. If we’re downstairs, he’s downstairs. He loves people. He was leery of our 8-year-old at first (she’s very loud) but he warmed up to her too. Honey Boy is chill most of the time. He makes us laugh with his antics when he is feeling lively. He makes us laugh when he naps in the sink. His back-end looks kind wonky from his broken pelvis and he’s somewhat physically handicapped but, today, he doesn’t appear bothered in the least by his injury. He’s just living his best life. What a great cat!` If you're interested in learning more about Honey Boy, please click on the `Get Started` button to connect to his foster!
