Hodge was discarded like a piece of trash. He was found discarded in an apartment dumpster inside of his carrier. He was very lucky that a good Samaritan found him before trash compactor. Hodge is a little skittish by loud and sudden movements. Not knowing his previous history, only the way he was disposed of, we assume that he had a rough start and was unfamiliar with human kindness until he met us. Hodge is a sweet loving affectionate and cuddly boy. But he will take time to trust and feel comfortable. He was previously adopted. but returned after a week because he hid under the bed. Hodge will likely need several weeks or months before he is comfortable and outgoing in a new environment. He's done fantastic adapting to out adoption floor.
