When I first saw Remus, he was in the cage looking as adorable as can be but not as rambunctious as all the other kittens. I fell in love with his sweet face. It didn’t take long for him to get used to his new place, and now he runs the house and bullies the 10-year-old cat! But we all love him and can’t get enough of his playful personality. There is never a dull day with him around. Melvin Muscles now Remus

Four weeks ago, my boyfriend and I came to HSHV “just to look” at the dogs they had. As soon as we came up to his cage and saw Sam (then Lassen) for the first time, we fell in love.

I was so sure he was going to get adopted by someone else before we were ready to take him later that week.

About four years ago, my family and I went to HSHV. When we went past the cat communal rooms, I saw a cat who made me stop walking and look into the window.

The cat came over, curious.

HSHV is truly indebted to Malea and Marissa! These kind 12-year-olds spent the summer walking dogs in their neighborhood; but instead of keeping the profits for themselves, they donated all proceeds to HSHV. In addition to this already kind act, Marissa and Malea also donated homemade cat beds. Thank you so very much, Malea and Marissa!
