Meet Kelso 🤍🧡 This handsome fellow is a mostly white kitty with soft buff-orange patches and a whole lot of heart. He’s about 3 years old, and while life gave him a rough start, Kelso has handled it with incredible resilience and charm. Kelso once lived as a street kitty, cared for by a few kindhearted ladies who made sure he never went hungry. When he was safely caught in a live trap, one very compassionate woman noticed he had several wounds and reached out to our shelter for help. It turned out Kelso had developed multiple abscesses from bite wounds caused by other territorial stray cats. Thankfully, we got him to the vet just in time, and he’s now healing beautifully and feeling so much better. 💕🐾
Despite everything he’s been through, Kelso is an absolute sweetheart. He’s affectionate, loving, and more than happy to soak up all the pets you’re willing to give. Chin scratches are a favorite, and treats are a very quick way to his heart. 😻Kelso is also a phenomenal mouser and takes his patrol duties very seriously—always alert, always watching, and proud to protect his space. With his gentle nature and loving personality, Kelso is ready to leave his tough past behind and enjoy the safety, comfort, and affection of a forever home where he can truly thrive. If you’re looking for a charming survivor with a soft heart and a strong sense of duty, Kelso might just be your perfect match. 🧡🐱 You can also call the shelter at 479-394-5682 to find out more about me. **************** All animals at HSO are current on their vaccinations and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. If not already spayed/neutered, there may be a short delay between when you select this pet and when they are ready to go home.
Breed and age are determined based on observable physical traits. Actual lineage and birth date are rarely known.
Adoption Fees: -$60 for cats -$60 for dogs over 6 years -$80 for dogs 6 months old to 6 years -$100 for puppies up to 6 months
Come visit our pets Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-2pm.
