I'm Gin, and I think my heart is homesick.
Not long ago, I knew what home felt like. Life made sense then. Now everything is different. The shelter staff have been very kind to me, but I can't pretend I understand what happened or why my life suddenly changed. Some days, I sit quietly and watch the world around me, wishing I could go back to the feeling of knowing exactly where I belonged.
Lately, I haven't felt much like eating. The staff became concerned and made sure I was checked from nose to tail. Thankfully, my bloodwork came back completely normal, and I'm healthy otherwise. The harder truth is that I think I'm still struggling with all of the change. I miss the comfort, stability, and familiarity that every animal longs for.
I'm a gentle boy with a slightly shy side, but once I feel safe, my sweet nature begins to shine through. I get along well with other cats, can happily live with calm, respectful children, and may be able to share a home with a dog pending a dog test. More than anything, I want the chance to settle into a loving home where I can relax, regain my confidence, and remember what it feels like to truly belong again.
