After losing my 18-year-old cat Cody in July I wondered if I could ever love that much again. The answer is yes! I adopted 9-month-old perfect pair Cinnamon & Nutmeg yesterday and they have captured my heart & made me laugh at their antics already. From being very shy & skittish yesterday to cuddly purr monsters today! Shows how resilient, forgiving, and full of love cats are. From strays to their forever home: we are all very happy. Cinnamon and Nutmeg

Baby Stabey
I adopted a two year-old cat from HSHV named Florence in 2018. She was the last cat I saw and she had the sweetest face and the prettiest subtle markings. She’s since been renamed Detective Elliott Stabler after the ‘Law and Order: SVU’ character, but we mostly call her Stabey. She knows her name and she’s incredibly docile and sweet. Every day when I come home, I’m greeted with loud meows and headbutts as soon as the door is open. She puts up with medication, she loves being brushed, and she’s food-motivated yet still incredibly polite. She purrs like a

Love At First Sight
My husband and I lost our first dog together two years ago. It took us until last December to start visiting HSHV. We saw a photo of Daphne and immediately went to the shelter. We learned she was in Foster Care because the shelter environment was too stressful for her. We visited her at the foster home and two days later brought her home. Daphne has been with us for close to seven months now and our lives are so much more enriched with having the pleasures and the struggles (she is STRONG so walks can be tough) of being

Gabi Is Very Happy
My name is Gabi. I was formally known as Dahlia at HSHV and I moved to my forever home on 7/8/24. I just wanted all of my 2-legged and 4-legged friends at HSHV to know that I’m doing great and thank you for the great care you provided while I was a resident at your fine establishment. When I arrived at my new home, I checked in and learned the 3 most important things of life…where to eat, where to go to the bathroom and where to sleep. It was all downhill after that. My new family and I quickly

It was love at first sight. Sebastian found his forever home!
I adopted Sebastian (previously Adam) in February. He’s an adorable rascal. He likes to play hide-n-seek by hiding behind the drapes! Seriously! If anyone wants to adopt, HSHV is the place. HSHV was wonderful helping me find the right kitty. Thank you to all your wonderful staff! Here’s his recent picture. (He also has a thing about sticking his tongue out.) Adam now Sebastian

Oh my clementine
The day I found out about clementine I just knew I had to meet her. That night I sent the wonderful foster family a text asking if we could meet her. I received a response right away and was able to arrange something for later that week. When I met this spunky, feisty girl she was the sweetest little angel who was not shy and came out and said hello. I got some kisses and she even took a little nap on me. I knew right then that I wanted her to live with me forever! At the time she

I love my sweet girl
I can’t believe it’s only been a month since we adopted her. She’s spicy and sweet, and the queen of the house. When I first adopted her, she didn’t like to be picked up or held. I kept her in a small room so she wouldn’t be overwhelmed, and spent lots of time with her. She eventually let me pet her, and then pick her up. I very gradually introduced her to my two other cats. Patrick, who was also adopted from HSHV, fell in love with her, but Tyrion wants to be the king of the house and isn’t

We found our forever best friend
Back in May (May 20th, 2024 to be exact), my boyfriend and I took a trip to the shelter. We were going to “ just look”. Needless to say, sweet Penelope stole our hearts immediately. Since then, we’ve had many ups and downs, adjusting as a family of three. But we could not be happier! She loves to cuddle, go for rides in the car and of course long walks!! And obviously she’s on Instagram @penelopethehuskyy Penelope, now Penelope Paige
