My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Hazel — A Gentle Mama Ready for Her Forever Home

Hazel is a beautiful young cat, about one year old, who’s been through so much and is now patiently waiting for her happy ending.

She gave birth to her kittens in a hole in the sidewalk, where she tried to keep them safe until our team rescued the little family when the babies were just one week old. From day one, Heizel was gentle and nurturing — not only did she lovingly care for her own babies, but she also took in six orphaned kittens who desperately needed a mom. Heizel welcomed them as her own and raised them with incredible tenderness.

She watched the last of her babies leave with a family. She sat quietly, meowing softly, as if asking, “When will it be my turn?”

Hazel is an extremely affectionate cat. She’s gentle, delicate in the way she interacts, and will shower you with love. She still gets startled easily and doesn’t enjoy being picked up — not yet. But she’ll accept all the affection you offer and, in her own time, she will learn to trust and let you hold her.

She’s okay with dogs, but she prefers not to share her space with other adult cats.
