Esmerelda Believe it or not, I came to the HSHC on December 21, along with 11 other cats, after our owner died. The best thing is, we are all very friendly and lovable, so we’re likely to find new homes quickly. I am 5 years old, with a lovely black-and-white long-haired coat. I’ve been spayed and am litterbox proficient. After checking in, I was examined, and aside from needing to lose a few pounds, I am a healthy, happy kitty. Although none of us are bonded, we all get along well and wouldn’t mind going home together. On December 29, I moved to the Smitten Kitten Cat Cafe (SKCC) and was swiftly named “cat of the week” for my charming personality, gentle nature, affability, and excellent manners. The interviewer lady (IL) woke me from my nap to pet me and take my picture. She learned I truly earned this title! I let her pet me and didn’t mind being woken. The SKCC staff adore me and are sure I’ll find my forever family soon. Remember, my long-haired coat needs regular brushing to prevent mats. I am also eating a diet designed to help me lose weight. Those are the only stipulations I have for going home with you! Happy New Year! 2026 will be a superb year, I can tell. 1-3-26

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.
