Mystic "All right, Mr. DeMille. I'm ready for my close-up." Sunset Boulevard is my favorite movie, and I can relate to this quote. If you could have seen me when I arrived as a stray cat in early March, you would have thought I was on death's door. I was scrawny, missing fur, covered in open sores, extremely itchy, and just miserable. The HSHC medical team went to work to find out what was wrong with me. They discovered that I had severe allergies, which were causing all my discomfort. With the right medicine, diet, and TLC, I am a new girl! I am only 5-years-old with an adorable personality, affectionate nature, and loads of charm. Ask the interviewer lady (IL); she will tell you that my transformation is like night and day. Today, when she visited, I was right up in her face with nose kisses, purring, flopping on my side for more pets, and cuddling up as close as possible to her chest. I am a petite little thing, with the return of my luxurious, long black coat--very soft! My coat may appear to have some cinnamon brown in it, but it might be sun-bleached from living outdoors. I have been spayed and use my litterbox faithfully. Although I was homeless when I arrived, I recall what it means to be someone's pet and look forward to it again. AND I am absolutely ready for my close-up! 5-8-24

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.
