Ivy Did you know that Mark Twain once quipped that “while the rest of the human race are descended from monkeys, redheads derive from cats.” How astute of him. I am proud to be a ginger-and-white girl cat. I am 5-years-old, 8.3 pounds, and already spayed. I arrived at the HSHC on January 5 because my owner and I had a difference of opinion. I felt that the stress of living with three other cats and the baby becoming mobile and very loud was too much to bear. She did not want to surrender the other cats or the baby. So I was. I lived with her for four years, but it was actually a relief to be out of that chaos. I adored spending time with my adults. I am an affectionate kitty and crave sitting in laps for a cuddle. I would place my paws on their cheeks to show my devotion. But living with those other cats was intolerable. Though I might instigate a disagreement, I was the smallest cat in the home and sometimes injured during these altercations. I am truly ready for a fresh start. During my initial examination, the medical staff discovered I had a very painful UTI. I was given medicine to help fight this infection, and I’m already feeling better. As soon as the interviewer lady (IL) opened my door, I leaned into her for pets. She gave me just what I like: cheek and chin scratches and neck rubs. I couldn’t help but begin loudly purring. She kept telling me how pretty I was and had such a winning personality. I had just come from a Valentine’s Day photo shoot, but I was still interested in cuddles and petting. The IL was clearly smitten by my charms. The HSHC staff has important information to help make my transition to a new home successful. Please give me a small room, like a bathroom, with everything I need, where I can live for a while before seeing the rest of the house. This will also provide me with a safe place to retreat if things get too scary. Although I would love to be the only 4-legged member of your family, there are recommended techniques and schedules for introducing me to your existing pets. I hope you will come to the HSHC to meet me. 2-11-26

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.
