Ruby I can`t believe I am back at the HSHC. I am a female, 8-year-old grey tabby cat. I lived with my best friend, Mama, and my original owner until his health began to fail. We were surrendered to the shelter in September 2024 and got adopted on December 7, but after one month, we were returned. Even though I am a friendly, affectionate girl, I need lots of time to feel truly at home in a new place. Mama was older and less energetic than I was, but we had a special bond and we needed each other to feel at ease. We were not given enough time to become accustomed to the new home, and I became overwhelmed and overstimulated. Sadly, I released that frustration on the closest target (my bestie, Mama). Because we began to squabble, we were returned to HSHC. The HSHC staff recommends a new cat be given a small place, like a bathroom or bedroom, where it can go when stressed or afraid. This aids in the cat`s adjustment. If you talk to the interviewer lady (IL), she will tell you how friendly I was with her! I turned on my cuddle and purr motor during our visit! All I need is a patient, understanding person who will give me all the time I require to feel comfortable. You might even consider adopting both of us if you follow the instructions for introducing a cat into your home. 1-28-25

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.
