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!

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

Winter Update 2025: I had heard the phrase what comes around, goes around. Well, now I really understand it. I’ll admit I previously have not been very kind to Charlie, one of the kitties in my room. He seemed like an easy one to pick on as he’s small in stature and at times nearly bald as he struggles with seasonal hair loss. Bad me! Well, it was my turn to be targeted and by a petite but yes, spicy feline, Micha. She gave me a whopping while a volunteer witnessed and perhaps now, I’ll be slightly more kind to all in my room. My volunteer friend Scott says I can be a bit of a loner but feels I’m seeking him out even more for some pets and loving. I know this makes him happy. He also comments that playing laser dot tag still keeps my attention and keeps me on my toes. I’m in good health so I have plenty of time to show my roomies more kindness.HOUDINI

Fall 2024 Update: The kitty count in my room this summer has dwindled, sadly. Over the last couple months, let’s see we’ve lost Tulip, Oreo and more recently Gabbi. All big hits for our small community of kitties here in L3 and all tied into our FeLUK+ status. Still, we fight the big fight and make the most of each day. To this end, my good volunteer friend Scott knows how much I love playing laser dot so he makes sure I get my red dot fix on each visit. Charlie, one of my roomies, also loves getting in on the action so it’s the 2 of us against that one dot!! Outside of “dot” time, I also enjoy approaching Scott on the turquoise steps in the room so I can get some one on one attention and love from him. No laps for me please, but I do love the hands of my human friends. My health is intact…for now…so onward I go to enjoy the fall colors. HOUDINI
