My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*** Henry is in a foster home ***

Henry #19087: beige w/white Bengal mix, short hair, neutered male, born approx. 5/1/15

Cats: can coexist with
Dogs: unknown
Children: gentle kids likely fine

Henry was originally adopted from The Humane Society. Forced to move and unable to take her beloved kitty with her, his previous mom didn’t know where to turn. SDHS refused to help them simply because Henry had been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. (This entirely treatable medical condition—which occurs in approximately 10% of senior cats—is totally controlled by a transdermal medication applied to his ear. Plus, he knows the drill and takes it like a champ). She left a tearful message for The Rescue House, and we immediately offered Henry a spot in our clowder. We got him a thorough check-up as soon as he entered our care, and the vet declared Henry to be a fit fellow. Separating from his mom was hard, and after plenty of TLC in Rescue House foster care, Henry is ready to try his hand at love again and find a new family!

With fur the color of freshly ground white coffee and beautiful blue eyes, Henry is a stone-cold stunner! He is equally affectionate as he is handsome. This chatty kitty will keep you company and talk your ear off. He’s extra vocal around mealtimes. He adores his wet food, and those fishy flavors are his guilty pleasure. Gobble, savor, repeat—every morsel devoured with gusto! He’s not as interested in strenuous exercise anymore. He’ll leave the rough-and-tumble play for the kittens. Henry does enjoy exploring and climbing, especially if the destination is a good spot for a nap. Of course, he’ll tell you a long story about his adventures scaling couch peaks, exploring cardboard box jungles, and his tangles with the laser pointer. But Henry’s journey hasn’t been all purrs and sunsets. He has been shuffled through a few homes in his nine years. Despite the hardships, Henry is as sweet as can be. As the patron saint of snuggles, his favorite place is nestled against your chest, purring like a distant waterfall.

In the foster home, Henry had a room to himself, but he often greeted the other cats through the door gate. He seemed to be mellow with the other cats and did not mind their presence. He found being in a huge clowder a little overwhelming, so we believe he would be most comfortable solo or in a home with only one or two feline costars. We are not sure about dogs.
