Hi, I'm Cholula!
My story starts a little differently than some kittens. I was found living in a junk yard, and when I first came into foster care, I was very scared. The world felt overwhelming, and my favorite place was somewhere safe and hidden away.

My foster family didn't give up on me. They gave me time, patience, and a quiet space where I could learn that humans can be kind. I'm still working on my confidence, but I've already made so much progress!
I used to spend most of my time hiding under the bed, but now you can find me hanging out in my cat tree and exploring my room. The longer my foster human sits with me, the more I come out to investigate. I've even started purring a little and making biscuits on my cozy cat bed - which is my way of saying, "I'm starting to feel pretty comfortable here."

I'll admit, I still like to remind my foster human that I'm a little spicy with an occasional hiss (I have a reputation to maintain!), but I don't scratch and I still let them pet me. I'm learning that love and attention can be pretty nice.

I'm looking for a patient family who understands that trust takes time. I may not run up and greet you on day one, but if you give me the space to blossom, you'll get to watch a shy little kitten become a loving companion.

I'm not a "perfect right away" kitten - I'm a "look how far I've come" kitten. And I think that makes me pretty special.
