Scotty Hi! I can`t believe all the changes I`ve experienced in my short little life. When I was about 10 months old, my owner found me as a stray. He brought me inside and immediately let me roam around the house. I had to share four litterboxes with three other cats. These fellows made it clear that I was not welcomed into the family unit. When I would walk by one of these guys, they would stare at me. If I walked closer, they would hiss, growl, and swat at me. After one swat, I high-tailed it out of there and hid. I tried using the litterboxes, but these cats would bully me away. It didn`t take long before I avoided trying to use the facilities. When my owner put me in a room by myself with a litterbox, I was a perfect gentleman. What a relief `to go` without being watched. While living there, I learned I am crazy about those fuzzy worms attached to wand toys and Fancy Feast chicken filets. However, I only lived there for two months before I was surrendered to the HSHC. During my medical exam, testing revealed I had a painful urinary tract infection, which did nothing to help my fear of the litterbox. I am now 1-year-old, neutered, and learning to use a litterbox properly. If my new home already has animals, it will be essential to give me plenty of time to get used to them. The cattery staff can help you with the best ways of introducing us, for example, scent swapping, keeping us separate with baby gates, and playing with the animals on both sides of the gate. Each step of the introduction process should take at least 3-5 weeks. Once all the four-legged members of the home are comfortable, you can move on to the next step. Whenever the interviewer lady (IL) stopped by to see me, I let her pet me. I wanted her to see my friendly, sociable side. But I always looked over her shoulder to see what was happening in the room. The idea of exploring the whole place excites me! I can`t wait until my next big adventure starts, hopefully with no swatting! 4-22-25

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.
