He stole my heart

I can not even begin to describe how much I love Louie (a.k.a., Polar) My husband and I adopted him right before Christmas, and he has been the perfect fit into our family. He’s goofy and ohhhhh so loveable ❤ He runs crazy laps around our big back yard (LOL!).

Giving in Memory

Unfortunately, having and loving companion animals often means that we have to say goodbye to them too soon. It is so sad that our furry friends have shorter lifetimes to spend with us. However, Nolan and Annika found a compassionate way to honor their cat’s memory. They donated their cat’s belongings to HSHV so the items could continue to be loved and used by our cats here! We offer our condolences to Nolan and Annika and we mourn the loss of their kitty friend. We are very grateful that they donated in honor of their companion. Thank you so much,
