My story

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

Baby
This is the interviewer lady speaking on behalf of Baby, the 8-month-old kitten currently residing in a foster home. Never having met Baby, I am relying on information from her foster mom and the medical reports to write this profile. Please take a moment to look at the photos of this resilient little girl and see what a beautiful cat she is. This tiny 3-pound kitten has had a challenging 8 months on this earth. She was one of a litter of outdoor cats born on her finder`s property. She was the smallest, the `runt,` and her mother soon rejected her. Her siblings stayed away from her, and her health began to fail. She was brought to the HSHC on November 2 as her finder could no longer keep her. The kitten was severely dehydrated, anemic from flea infestation, and was unsteady on her hind legs. Because a neurologic condition was suspected, in January 2025, she had an MRI with a Veterinary Neurology specialist that diagnosed her with brain atrophy. Signs of brain atrophy in cats include spatial disorientation, wandering away from home into unfamiliar territory, unsteady gait, lack of interest in playing, excessive sleeping, altered cycles of sleep and wakefulness, periods of staring blankly into space or at walls, indifference to food and water, and urinating and defecating outside the litter box. Baby has shown many of these signs. There is no treatment for this disease except supportive care. However, this condition is not fatal; these cats can live happily! Baby`s foster mom has fallen in love with this `sweetest little girl` and hopes that a caring individual will understand both her limitations and her unique, loveable qualities. Being rejected by her mother and littermates has caused Baby to love attention and crave feeling safe and accepted. She enjoys playing with her cat and dog foster siblings, napping in a comfy spot, and being close to her humans. Litterbox issues may always be a struggle for Baby. Her foster mom has waterproof blankets on all the furniture to avoid accidents. Baby has a quiet personality, but she is learning how to be a cat, thanks to the crew of kitties in her foster home! Baby cannot help the fact that she has a disability, but she has many reasons to love her and the potential for a happy life with the right adopter. 2-16-25

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.
