PeeWee Speaking as an undersocialized 1-year-old stray kitty, I want you to understand how scary it is to be picked up, placed in a crate, taken to the HSHC, and given a thorough examination. On December 10, this is what happened to me, and I am still trying to figure out what is happening. I am a small, Calico girl, not yet spayed, but slowly increasing my confidence and bravery. I am at a crucial developmental stage of my life that will shape my future personality—I especially need patience, gentle socialization, safe spaces, positive experiences with humans, and time to gain trust. I need a crash course in learning how to be a pet cat. So, just 23 days after arriving, I moved into a foster home. My foster mom (FM) understands that it is important to let me adjust to her home at my own pace. She has given me a small place with everything I need, so I can gradually grow comfortable. Within a day, I was willing to sit on her lap and purr. This was a monumental moment for both of us! I am not that familiar with toys or catnip, so one of my assignments is to interact with my FM using feathered wand toys and laser pointers to give me something to feel positive about. I need to regularly engage in playtime with my humans. When I was offered those yummy Churu treats, I was brave enough to lick them from a finger! I have even felt happy enough to lean in and purr. So you know that I am on the cusp of becoming a full-fledged companion cat! You can see in my photos that I am a shy little thing, but I hope to be a confident cat strutting my stuff without a care in the world. You can help me reach this goal! 1-14-26

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.
