To Della’s original family — After my husband’s death last February, I went to HSHV looking for a feline companion. Being a senior citizen myself, I wanted a senior cat. Della’s information sheet said that she was 9 years old, and that you had to surrender her because you were moving and couldn’t take her. I know that it must have broken your heart because she is such a sweet cat. She especially likes to sit in her cat tree and watch the birds through the kitchen window. Thank you for bringing her to the HSHV and not just abandoning

I adopted Charlie (Charie) in early October 2018, and since we have had an amazing time. She loves her new siblings, Jonas and Goopie the cats, and has officially taken over the house lounge chair. She is also working hard to lose weight and succeeding. We go for walks, play with the red dot, and cuddle lots and lots. Thank you for my wonderful pup!   Charie now Charlie

Lucy (now Jiji) was surrendered to HSHV because she didn’t fit well with her previous family’s situation. When I saw her on the website, I really wanted to meet her. Once we went to HSHV we asked for her and found her in a kitty condo sleeping. She was very thin and tiny and didn’t seem very happy, but was purring when we pet her. She did swat at us, but I still knew I wanted her to come home with us. We were warned that due to past indicated behaviors she likely wouldn’t ever really want to cuddle or

We adopted Say Say (Sadie) after abruptly losing our dog of 13 years. Sadie was listed as a senior even though she didn’t act like one. As soon as she put her little feet under the cage, I just fell in love. Someone must have loved her at one point. She knew all typical commands and was nothing but polite. Three years later, and I have no idea what we would do without our sweet baby. Luckily our vet thought she might have been around 6 when we adopted her instead of 9. She loves the snow, hates water and

I adopted Jack (formally Gad) in July of 2017. Previously, I had never owned a cat. But good news: Jack had never been anyone’s cat before, so we figured everything out together. I was told he was brought in as a stray, no mom, no siblings. He was considered a cautious kitten and need a little extra time to adjust. Jack learned to enjoy going for walks on his leash, make new friends with the neighbor dogs, and travel to relatives’ houses for the holidays. After a move to a new home, it felt like something was missing. At the
