I walked into HSHV to adopt one cat. I saw Bob, a giant 12 year old, and knew I wanted to check him out. He was paired up with his BFF Pita Jr., a tiny, 2-year-old, curious girl. Well….they both came home with me and spend their days lounging in the sun, lounging on the couch, lounging on the bed. Oh and lots of snuggles and treats. Don’t know what I’d do without these two!

We adopted Billy as a barn cat in 2020. He had already faced some challenges, as he had once had four pellets inside him (three remain). But Billy is now thriving! He has become more of a “deck cat” and hangs around the house during the day while prowling around at night. It was a slow process but he has become friends with our dog Cocoa, and he is the most affectionate, cuddly guy you’ll ever meet. He loves to hunt and is living his best life!!

These 2 kitties were dropped off as they had blue sparkle claw guards glued on, and so it hurt to use the litter box. We got them home, used soft kitty litter, the guards grew out and these brothers made a great transition. They have contests to see who can purr the loudest, love to look outside at birdies and chipmunks, play “tease the dogs” and flop on the floor. In other words, they fit right in. Thanks so much!

I just started my Back of House position at the shelter, and I wasn’t planning on adopting another cat for awhile. Then a Love Train for kittens arrived, and that’s when I met Rio. I took a couple pictures of him and sent them to my boyfriend. We both fell in love with him, and the next day after his amputation surgery I put a hold on him. Once I got the all-clear to take him home, I did! He is such a loving boy – he loves his big brother Jacoby and he absolutely loves to snuggle in the

Puddles now Boogie I adopted Boogie in November 2021. On April 22, 2022, Boogie turned 2! The reign of the terrible twos begins! He was celebrated all weekend, receiving lots of love, gifts, snacks, and snuggles from his family. Of course, half of the fun was just playing in the box that his presents came in! Boogie has been enjoying life since I adopted him back in November. He travelled with me all the way from Michigan to Houston, Texas, where I am spending the semester working at an internship for school. His hobbies include helping me prepare and

Gamma, now G Money Sparkles We adopted G (for short) in September 2021. When we adopted her HSHV said she had a heart murmur, and so many people loved her but no one wanted the responsibility. But when we brought her to a vet, they said she doesn’t have a heart murmur and she was so scared and shaking that it only sounded like one. Now April 2022, she is a perfectly amazing dog and I couldn’t have asked for better.

Bat now Piper My family wanted to adopt a new puppy, because my other dog was battling cancer and we knew her time was coming 🙁 We adopted piper a day after we put our other dog down. She’s brought so much new life and joy to us! I wish I could spend more time with her, as I’m at college right now.

We adopted our 5th (and only fur) child in January. She had been returned multiple times to HSHV due to her reactive nature/anxiousness/separate anxiety issues. She is loving and gentle, and although she is still reactive, she has greatly improved with a little time, effort, understanding and love. Most importantly, she is so wonderful and tolerant of our son who has ASD. It’s like she just knows he is different and even if he annoys her, she’s very patient and kind with him. It truly is heart warming. We love her so very much. She is not just our “dog”-
