Hercules's Story

Hi, my name is Hercules! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:<br/>-Personality: Gentle, sweet<br/>-Can Live with Cats: Hercules may do best in a home without other cats.<br/>-Can Live with Dogs: No thanks, she is fearful of noise and change is hard on her so she would like a home without dogs since she's never been around them before.<br/>-Can Live with Kids: Quiet teens (13 years+) might be okay! She was extremely fearful of the newborn baby in her previous home so a home without young kids is required.<br/>-Needs Indoor Only Home: Yes, she's been indoors only her entire life.<br/>-History of Litter Box Issues: Yes, Hercules was surrendered for inapropriate elimination. We have found out it was due to the stress of having a newborn baby in the home. She's been great about using her litterbox here at the shelter.<br/>-Energy Level: Moderate<br/>-Bite History: No<br/>-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Nope!<br/>Additional Information: Hercules is a wonderful girl who is looking for a mellow place to call her forever home. She is looking for a low-traffic household that preferably has no other pets. Hercules can be sensitive to noise and does not enjoy being around small kids since they can be loud! Don't get the wrong idea though, Hercules is a love bug and wants to spend her day getting attention from her (adult) friends. She is known to have one of the strongest head bumps around! We are recommending a cat-experienced adopter to ensure she has a smooth transition into her new home.<br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
