Gambit, or maybe Rosebud This situation sure isn`t my first rodeo. Back in 2015, my owner surrendered me to the HSHC. He is the one who decided to declaw all four of my paws. I was adopted and lived with my next family for seven years. But they surrendered me back to the shelter on August 30. I am now 14-years-old and currently back at the cattery after living in a lovely foster home. Because my foster mom has some upcoming travel, she returned me and gave the interviewer lady (IL) some vital information about me. She felt that my name was not pretty enough for a girl like me, so she`s been calling me Rosebud. You may notice that my current weight is 19 pounds, which is much more than I ever meant to be. She said that I am large, lovely, sweet-natured, and affectionate. She also points out that what I lack in athleticism, I make up for in love. I have a resounding purr, especially when I am being brushed, petted, and touched. When I arrived at her home, I was filthy, unbrushed, with mats and a severe flea infestation. My size prevents me from effectively grooming myself, so FM has been wiping me down with pet wipes or a wet washcloth. If I were to lose weight, I know I could do a better job of keeping myself tidy. I`m good about using the litter box, but I would appreciate a box with lower sides to make entry and exit easier. I am grateful for any attention and love I receive. FM says I would make a great companion to someone in a quiet household. Please don`t make me wait so long for a forever home. Now that I`ve enjoyed living with my FM, the days are lonely here. 9-24-25

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.
