Hoku

Meet Hoku, a cat who knows exactly what she wants, and isn’t shy about telling you. Hi, I’m Hoku. Black-and-white. Long whiskers. Ten pounds of attitude wrapped in a deceptively cute package. I was surrendered when my previous owner couldn’t care for me anymore. It wasn’t my fault... and it definitely wasn’t my choice. Now I’m here at the Stafford County Animal Shelter, and let’s be clear: I am not the “cuddle-your-face, curl-in-your-lap-every-night” type.I am the “give-me-my-space-and-I’ll-think-about-liking-you” type. Here’s what you need to know: I am spayed, microchipped, and rabies vaccinated so there are no geographical adoption restrictions, anyone can adopt me. I am litterbox trained I am not good with other cats I am not good with kids, I prefer a home where the vibe is: quiet, predictable, and your expectations are low Hoku, in her own words: “I will warm up when I’m ready. Not a moment sooner. Do not rush me. Do not crowd me. Bring snacks, speak softly, and respect my personal space, and maybe we’ll get along.” I am shy at first, but behind that is a smart, observant cat who simply wants control over her own world. When I trust you, my sweet side does show, but it comes on my terms, not yours. I’m not sunshine. I’m not rainbows. I’m a moody little cloud who just wants a peaceful sky to float in. If you’ve ever said, “I love a cat with personality,”or“I don’t need my pets to be clingy,”or“I want a companion, not a shadow,”then you might be exactly what I’ve been waiting for.
