Oak Well, hello again! Yes, it’s me, Oak, the 7-year, 9-month-old lady cat back at the HSHC for the third time. I can only live in a home with people 16 or older and no other cats—these are my adoption requirements. Believe me, I want to find a permanent address just as soon as possible. I came to HSHC from a crowded shelter in April 2024. I got to move over to the Smitten Kitten Cat Cafe (SKCC), where I met many potential owners. I was fairly social at that time and was a real staff favorite. I loved sitting on laps, giving nose kisses, and being a “cuddle bug.” I got adopted but was returned again. I even got adopted by one of the SKCC staff members who loved me to pieces. But her resident cat and I did not hit it off. So I am facing the fact that I am an energetic cat who can become bored. And when I get bored, I can get myself into trouble by swatting, hissing, or scratching to let you know I need some interactive play. Playing with me using interactive toys wears me out, helps me burn energy, sharpens my mind, and strengthens our bond. Play sessions should last 10-20 minutes, 2-3 times daily. Fishing pole toys or anything I can chase is perfect! Just make sure I get to `catch` the prey, too. I have always gotten along well with the interviewer lady (IL). She was surprised to see me back in the cattery, so I gave her head butts, nose kisses, and purred up a storm. I think it all depends on the chemistry between a human and me. I am spayed and great with the litterbox, so you can be confident in my manners. If you’re ready to give a loving, active cat her forever home, come meet me today! 1-12-26

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.
