Hootie Hey there feline fans! Hootie here and excited to tell you about myself. I have had two owners in my 7 years on the planet. The first one surrendered me to the HSHC because I was “unwanted”. No one wants to hear that. My second owner had me for a year and a half, but one of the other cats in the home couldn’t stand me, so now I’m back. This is all pretty mysterious to me because I am a fantastic fellow. I think my photos clearly demonstrate my winning personality and grey good looks! I moved into a foster home on January 4 and have settled in pretty quickly. I’m a bit picky with food (chicken is my favorite), but I always eat and use my litter box. I’m a loner, but when I want attention, I let you know. I recognize I’m overweight at 19.6 pounds and would benefit from shedding a few pounds to feel better and more energetic. Climbing is tough for me, so I prefer sitting or lying beside you. Once I feel comfortable, I enjoy being brushed and having my belly rubbed. My foster parents report that I am curious, attentive, and aware of my surroundings. I love playing with catnip mice and chasing the laser pointer. I always use scratching posts. I enjoy a good chat—talk to me, and I’ll talk back! But I don’t like being teased; if you mimic me, I’ll walk away. Strangers at the house aren’t my favorite—I avoid them, but if approached gently, I enjoy being part of the family. My foster parents say, “Hootie is very friendly and forgiving. He’s full of love!” As a bonus, they say I don’t shed! The Feline Care Specialists will provide more information about my needs and how to help me adjust to your home. 1-20-26

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.
