Meadow, practically perfect in every way
Our family adopted Meadow (formerly Snowflake, thought to be female) from HSHV back in February. We had recently lost our dear sweet cat of 15 years, and really needed some joy in our home. After much research, we decided to shop for supplies and adopt a bunny. We found Meadow at the shelter and adopted him that day! He has been such a bright ray of sunshine in our home, especially during the beginning of the pandemic. He loves to lay in the bathroom while the kids are brushing their teeth and will often jump on the toilet lid just

The key to my heart
A black cat has always been the key to my heart, and I found my key! I knew he was “the one” when I first laid eyes on him. I can’t get enough of him. He LOVES to talk when he wants attention (which is 24/7 lol!). He always has to be in the same room as me and always be around me. He is such a handsome boy and I’m glad I can say he’s mine! Thank you HSHV for providing me with my dream guy! Tammer now Armand

The Force Comes To Our Galaxy
Almost 4 years ago, Jedi kitties: Gingerbread Man (now Finn) and Clove (now Rey) came to our galaxy from HSHV. We all had heavy hearts with the passing of our Chewbacca-colored (Tortoiseshell) Cally of 18 1/2 years. We were just going to HSHV to “look” when Finn pulled us in with his Jedi skills. These bonded Jedi kitties have brought joy, warm snuggles and use their Jedi mind tricks daily to get dinner and treats early! We want to thank the entire HSHV staff for helping us adopt these two and bringing Finn and Rey to our galaxy! Gingerbread Man
