My story

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

Coyote is a magnificent one-year old male kitty who was surrendered by his owner on March 23, 2024. This handsome boy has quite a background story which we will share with potential adopters:

Coyote originally came to HSOV May 31, 2023 when he was a teeny tiny kitten. He had been heard crying and meowing somewhere in a field close to our shelter that day .. Thankfully our HSOV kennel techs were able to apprehend this tiny boy and bring him safely inside our shelter on June 1, 2023. Coyote was understandably a frightened little guy and didn't realize he was among his new best friends, but within a couple of weeks he began to trust our shelter staff. Coyote was always a bit apprehensive when his cage door was opened and would usually retreat to the back of his cage, but he was actually a friendly kitten who was just putting up a brave front.

Coyote has a gray-and-white short coat, a long tail, and a beautiful face with golden eyes, a gray 'beauty mark' beside his tiny black nose, and a long white whiskers.

Coyote was given vaccinations, wormer, and flea treatment on June 1, 2023. He weighed 1.6 lbs on June 2nd. Coyote was given booster vaccines on June 22, 2023.

He was neutered on July 17, 2023 and was also given rabies vaccine. Coyote weighed 3.14 lbs. that day.

Coyote was adopted on July 21, 2023 and spent eight months in his adoptive home but came back to our shelter on March 23, 2023. His family told us that he has been an exclusive indoor-only kitty. Coyote gets along with cat-friendly dogs. He did not share his home with other cats, and he has not had experience with children. Coyote will run/hide when he is scared. He is quite playful but prefers to play when he is alone or out-of-sight.

These photos of Coyote were taken on March 24, 2024 in the HSOV Jungle Room (one of our cat adoption rooms). Coyote was cute as a kitten, and he has matured into a very handsome young man with a sweet, rather quite, personality. Coyote is a big boy these days who weighs approximately 12-13 lbs.

Coyote is looking for another loving home with a family or individual who would give him the time to acclimate on his own schedule to his new home. He is also available for rescue.

Rescue groups may contact our HSOV Feline Rescue Coordinator via email (sharonpaul2@suddenlink.net). We can usually help with transportation.

Unfortunately Coyote's foster mother turned him loose outdoors and cannot catch him to bring him back to the shelter :(
