"Taco" AKA “Jamon” Thanks to the support of the Humane Society of Cozumel, Jamon is able to meet his new family in Mexico, the United States or Canada! His name is Taco, and his nickname is Jamon, or "Ham" in Spanish, (he is a very big boy!) but I’ve been calling him Hammy. This is the SWEETEST and FRIENDLIEST cat that has ever come to stay in my foster home. I can’t emphasize that enough. Hammy was hand-raised by his human mom since before his little eyes were open, and they clearly loved each other very much. They were the only people and pets in one another’s lives. Unfortunately, Taco’s mom passed away very recently and he has no other family to live with. Understandably, Taco was very depressed when the Humane Society came and collected him from his former apartment. They kept him safe at the shelter for a night, but for a cherished house cat it was a scary place to be. The next day a wonderful volunteer brought him to me and I set him up in his very own bedroom, complete with private litter box and a full-size bed. Poor Hammy was too scared and sad to enjoy the perks of foster care, of course. He immediately hid under the far side of the bed and barely moved for several days. I pulled the bed out to check on him and tempt him with some soft food, which he did eventually eat. The poor boy was too upset and confused to even come out to pee. A week or so later, Ham has turned a corner. He has met the other cats in the house with curiosity and is learning the careful art of friendly butt-sniffing; he is trying to eat his healthy food like a good boy, and he will come out of hiding to beg for cuddles. AND WOW DOES HE LOVE CUDDLES! Jamon can sit forever and just let you rub him all over – face, back, feet and enormous belly all included. (We’re working on that belly, FYI.) When I first heard his immense purr, my heart just about exploded. Taco is about 8 years old, and he still has SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE! He would be a wonderful addition to a home with other friendly cats, or just loving people. He is shy with men but we are working on that! Please consider giving sweet, wonderful Hammy a second chance at his forever home <3 Get in touch with me via the comments or apply directly through the Humane Society of Cozumel website to adopt this wonderful boy! If you can't give him a home, please give him a share! Thank you!
