Simon recently celebrated his 11th birthday. Instead of asking for gifts, he asked friends and family to either donate online or in person to HSHV. He donated blankets, toys, food, beds and money for the animals. Thank you so much, Simon!

Wonderful Addition to the Family!

When I first brought Farley home, he was very timid and afraid. He hid for about 2 weeks. So, I decided to adopt another cat to help him get over his fear. We adopted Dracula on Halloween night. He was so fun-loving and outgoing I thought he would be the perfect cat to help bring Farley out of his shell and learn to trust those around him, and Dracula has done just that.   Dracula and Farley
