I adopted Reggie in 2018 and have loved her ever since. It took a while to get used to her as she likes to prawl the house and talk loudly around 3am every night, but we have gotten used to each other, and I wouldn’t trade her for the world. Reggie now Lil Girl

Friends Fur-ever!

We adopted our now 1.5-year-old cat, Allie, one year ago. She is the perfect fit, but we wanted her to have a buddy for when we are at work during the day. We adopted Madden over the summer, and although it took some time, they are now best buds! Madden is so playful and definitely our energetic, curious kitty. He and Allie enjoy tackling each other, chasing each other, and cuddling! My biggest fear in adopting Madden was that Allie would resent us and they wouldn’t get along. Your staff was wonderful with easing my worries and giving us pointers

Quincy Cat

I’m finishing up graduate school, so my husband and I decided to get a study buddy for me during my last semester. We fell in love with Quincy when we were at HSHV. He came right up to us and wasn’t afraid to play. My husband is allergic to cats and Quincy didn’t affect him at all, so we took it as a sign he was the one for us. We took him home the next day, and he instantly wanted to be our best friend. That night I was working on a paper and Quincy jumped right into my

Luna — Love you to the moon and back

I found Luna when I needed her most. My heart was broken after having to say goodbye best friend Cooper who actually was adopted HSHV almost 16 years ago. Luna was shy, yet attentive and calm despite the chaos of the shelter. Since her adoption day 9/29/19, we have learned she never runs out of kisses and has never-ending energy. She loves other dogs and kids and thinks everyone is here to play with her. She LOVES playing ball just as much as my Cooper did. She has filled my heart with joy again. I never thought I’d love another
