Tink Wow! You have to hand it to the Foster Program at HSHC. I was surrendered just before Christmas because my owner lost her home. What a nightmare. I have lived with her ever since I was six months old, and I`m 4-years and 7-months old now. Honestly, I was terrified of being in the cattery and missed my owner so much that I stopped eating. That is when the HSHC moved me into a foster home, and my life took an enormous swing toward happiness. My foster parents (FP) have been giving me everything I need to feel comfortable, safe, and more like my old self. I take medication to help me deal with my stress, and now that I am in a home environment, it is working! My FP set me up in a room that is all mine, where I spend most of my time. They report that when I first arrived, I was hardly eating. Now, I am a member of the Clean Plate Club! It tickles them to see me eat so quickly. I am still too shy to do all the socializing they would like to do with me. They leave my bedroom door open so that I can feel free to explore. I have been watching the other pets in the home but have yet to work up the courage to venture out. But my FP have noticed me gazing enviously at the different spaces. I am planning on doing a survey when no one is watching. Don`t tell anyone. I am already spayed and housetrained, a pretty brown Tabby with white markings and a heart-shaped nose. I am still a scaredy-cat and not ready to consider moving until my confidence improves. But with each passing day, I`m making progress and getting closer to being the brave cat I want to be. 2-11-25

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.
