Jazzy You`ve probably heard of cats that don`t warm up quickly and tend to run away when frightened. Well, double or triple those characteristics, and you will have me pegged! My owners adopted me as a kitten from another shelter, and I have lived with my family all my life. I am 2.5-years-old now. Last February, we moved to a new house, which was terrifying for me. The two young children and the two dogs in the home were always a source of fear, and whenever they came near me, I would run and hide. I knew the family meant well when they bought two self-cleaning, robotic litterboxes in addition to the traditional one, but I was petrified by their noise and movement. You get the picture! When a cat is fearful, stressed, and anxious, she often avoids the litterbox as a last-ditch effort to express herself. Therefore, I was surrendered to the HSHC on October 14. Since being here, I have felt alarmed by all the new people, noises, and expectations. I`m using the litterbox just fine, but I tend to hide in my cubby rather than come out and socialize. I give the interviewer lady (IL) a wide berth when she visits, and my eyes are as big as saucers. If I could choose my ideal home, it would be calm and quiet, offering a predictable routine, the kids would all be 12 or older, and I would be given a small space with everything I need as a place I could escape to. If you are a lifelong cat lover, understand how frightened we can become, and have the patience and compassion to let me settle in on my timeline, I sure would like to meet you. I loved the cat that lived with me in my first home, so if you have a friendly kitty, that might be the companion I need to feel safe and comfortable. 12-11-24

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.
