Once upon a time, in the cozy town of Burlington, there lived a cat named Sriracha. Now, Sriracha wasn’t just any ordinary feline: he was the resident “spice” at the Burlington Humane Society. You see, Sriracha got his name from his fiery personality when he first arrived at the shelter in March 2023.

At first, Sriracha was quite the handful. He would zoom around the shelter, causing mischief (and maybe a couple of battle wounds — oops!) wherever he went. But as time passed, something wonderful happened. Sriracha began to mellow out. He discovered the joy of cuddles, the thrill of playtime, and the warmth of human affection.

Despite his transformation, Sriracha remains at the shelter, patiently waiting for his forever home. The volunteers adore him, but they know that an entire year is FAR too long for such a lovable cat to be without a family of his own. His ideal home would be an experienced cat owner who could understand his “I’ve had enough for now, thank you!” signals and handle his occasional zoomie outbursts. He would also prefer to be the king of his own castle, with no other pets in the home.

Even though Mr. Spicy-yet-Sweet is FIV positive, he continues to live his best, most zoomiest life every day, and we know he is so close to finding his perfect human companion(s). He reminds us all here at Burlington Humane that in a world of monotony, variety truly is the spice (or should we say, Sriracha) of life!

Sriracha is available for adoption through the Burlington Humane Society.
