Marie I am one of twelve cats surrendered to the HSHC because our owner passed away. It is hard to be just one cat among many. I am naturally shy, even though Calicos often have a reputation for confidence. My initial check-up showed I am overweight at 16.3 pounds, need dental treatment, and my front paws have been declawed. Despite these, the medical staff determined that I was healthy, and on December 29 I was sent to the Smitten Kitten Cat Cafe (SKCC) to meet adopters. Like most of my siblings, I am 7-years-old, spayed, and litterbox trained. The SKCC staff said I am a sweet but very shy girl. I spend most of my time curled up in a cubby. When the interviewer lady (IL) lay down beside my house, I let her pet me and even made biscuits on my bed. She took photos of me all curled up. If someone gives me enough time and space, I will find the courage to come out and make a loving companion. The holiday crowds at the Cafe can be scary for me, so I hide, but I am never angry or crabby. The interviewer said my pretty looks and gentle personality will appeal to people who understand shy cats. I hope she is right, because I am ready to find a patient person who will give me a safe home. I don’t like being homeless. 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.
