It all started when I agreed to a private adoption for a grey tabby. His owner was prompt, friendly & described him in great ways. Until I got to meet him and found that he was NOT socialized to be with other animals! She hadn’t been honest with me! Despite my best efforts, I knew, sadly, that I could not give him the home with the my resident cat I’d hoped. I took him to HSHV for a sad surrender (where he eventually spent a few weeks in behavioral & was happily adopted thereafter!). Nevertheless, in search of dopamine &

When I was 8 years old my parents finally agreed to letting me get a cat so they took me to HSHV where I met Ranger a little tabby kitten with a milky film over his left eye. That day he became my best friend. I’m now 18 and I couldn’t have made it without him. He has helped me deal with PTSD and crippling anxiety. He has been the best thing to ever happen to me and it couldn’t have been without HSHV’s help. Ranger

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.

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

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

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
