Ozzy was surrendered to us due to a change in lifestyle in his previous home. The shelter environment was stressful for him so Ozzy was placed in a loving foster home so we could learn more about him! We learned he takes time to settle into new environments and doesn`t respond well to change. It took Ozzy a week to feel comfortable and show interest in human touch. He needs an adopter who understand he requires time to decompress before beginning to bond. Ozzy`s coat will require maintenance and help with grooming isn`t his favorite, this is something that his adopter will work toward over time. Another option is to have him professionally groomed.
After a few months in foster, he is doing great, and here are some notes from his foster mom!
Ozzy is a 2-year-old neutered male cat with the soul of a lounge singer and the appetite of a linebacker. Most of the time, he’s as quiet as a ninja in slippers—until his stomach starts composing a symphony of hunger. Then? Oh, you’ll know. He’ll perform a one-cat opera at your feet until treats rain from the heavens or wet food fills his bowl.
He’s the kind of guy who greets you at the door like you’ve just returned from war, even if you were just grabbing the mail. He’ll follow you around like your shadow, except fluffier. A true social butterfly, Ozzy believes every room is better with him in it.
He doesn’t mind being picked up and once he gets comfortable with his surroundings he may get up and sit next to you on the couch or in a chair or even snuggle up next to you in bed while you’re sleeping. He does like to be up high, so you may find him sleeping on a counter or dresser top.
Ozzy would love a feline buddy around his age to wrestle with and plot world domination. He’s not super into toddlers (they’re loud and unpredictable), but he’s working on his trust issues one slow blink at a time.
Now, brushing? That’s still a bit of a betrayal in his eyes. But if you sneak up while he’s snoozing, you might get a few strokes in before he wakes up and files a formal complaint.
Every day with Ozzy is a little more snuggly, a little more loveable, and a lot more entertaining. He’s a sweet boy with a big personality, and a bigger love for snacks.
Ozzy hasn`t been dog tested but this can be arranged with an approved application. He seems open to the idea of having a feline friend. If you`re interested in meeting Ozzy please email hshpe@humanesocietyhpe.ca

We require potential adopters to fill out an pre-adoption application. If that application is approved, the dog/cat must be spayed/neutered before it leaves our shelter (if not already done). If it is a puppy under 4 months old, we allow it to go home with the adopters under a foster care agreement until it is old enough to be returned for spay/neuter. Kittens are allowed to leave before spay/neuter is done, but they must be done within a certain time frame.
Fees: Dogs/puppies range from $150-300, depending on if they came in already spayed/neutered or if we paid to have that done.
Cats range from $80 - $140, though we often have deals on older cats or cats that have been there a long time.
Kittens are $60 with $25 refunded once it has been spayed/neutered.
All adoptions include at least the first vaccination, deworming, de-fleaing, microchip ID, and 6 weeks of pet insurance.
