HOUDINI

HISTORY: Houdini was found as a stray then surrendered once she was tested for FeLV.

MEDICAL NOTE: Houdini is FeLV+

What’s not to love about sweet Houdini? This adorable cat is full grown but still has the personality of a kitten. She loves to run around, explore, and play! If she hears voices outside of her room, she’ll jump onto the door and dangle so she can peek out the window! When she’s spent all of her energy, Houdini enjoys snuggling and will even let you pick her up and hold her. Due to her FeLV+ status, Houdini should either be the only cat in the home or join a family with other FeLV+ cats. Once you meet this wonderful girl for yourself, you’ll absolutely want to take her home with you!

Dec 2025 Update: Friendly lady Houdini thought she had it made when the new, long log toy arrived in her room. This open style toy designed for kitties to dive in and exit via a side chute was all the rage for at least some of the kitties in Houdini’s room. Houdini loved tunneling inside it until she got ambushed! Yep. Poor girl just trying to have some fun and wouldn’t you know it, Boots and Charlie were also looking to have some fun but at Houdini’s expense. Everything was going well for Houdini until she got bounced on while she was inside. Poor girl. She’s dusted off the shame of the ambush and hopes there were not too many witnesses!! At least for her good friend and human suitor Scott, he still comes a callin’ 2x each week to give her some TLC and won’t speak further of the “event.”

Fall Update 2025: Hands down, I’m the main greeter in my room. When I see the humans come and go, I’m the one to ask for and get the first round of attention from these 2 legged wonders. I take my share of the pets, then I’m done with you and off I go! As one volunteer commented, I don’t have any close friends, likewise I don’t have any enemies and I don’t like laps. Oh, those silly humans. Still, folks are very drawn to me and love seeing me in my classic pose- in the top of a cat tree with my arms draped over the edge of the ledge and dribbling down as far as they might go. I’m doing well and I think my bigger personality coupled with some of my quirks really add to this room and make it special.  Houdini
