My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Boris
When I first lived at the HSHC, I was a 3-month-old stray kitten. Ten days later, I was adopted. But, on January 3, 2025, I was brought back to the shelter as a stray. The HSHC tried to contact my owner, but there was no trace of him. So, I am trying to adjust to the idea of abandonment. I`ll be 3-years-old in May, a slim 10.7 lbs, relatively tall, with a striking grey and white coat. Being in the shelter has been both a shock and a blessing. At least I`m out of the lousy weather and being fed. But this 2-room apartment is a bit small, and all the people, noise, and cats are overwhelming. The first time the interviewer lady (IL) came to see me, I sniffed her finger but remained suspicious of her intentions. However, I let her pet me today because I could see she was harmless. Because I am skittish about all the changes in my life, I will need an understanding owner who will give me plenty of time to settle into my new home. I would appreciate people who do not come on too strong or make many demands of me. It takes me a while to feel comfortable, so easy does it on the petting, holding, or direct contact. These days, since being abandoned, I can overreact and become defensive when I feel afraid. I hope to find a loving human who wants to help me regain my trust and confidence. With time, I am confident that I will be a happy cat again. 2-4-25

More about this shelter

With an open admission policy, a No-Kill philosophy, and more than 3,100 animals crossing our threshold each year, we have still maintained a 98% placement rate over the last 3 years.

This is an amazing feat for any organization…let alone one that takes in some of the most abused, injured and seriously ill animals imaginable.
