Story
While Samantha is a happy, healthy cat, she has tested positive for FIV and will need some accommodations in her new home to ensure the health and safety of both her and others: 1. She must be an INDOOR CAT ONLY. 2. She should be the only cat in the home - or can live with other FIV+ cats. 3. She should be provided with good nutrition and fed a quality, healthy diet. FIVE REASONS TO ADOPT AN FIV+ CAT: 1. Cats with FIV can live long and healthy lives! With proper care, a FIV+ cat can live a long and comfortable life. In fact, it’s not uncommon for cats infected with FIV to live up to 12 years! Like with any cat, the lifespan of an FIV+ cat will depend on the luck of the draw. But since the health and lifespan of a cat with FIV depends so much on maintaining a strong immune system there are some things you can do to stack the odds, including keeping your cat indoors, scheduling regular wellness checkups, and feeding a high-nutrition diet. 2.They're just cats! Just like every other cat, FIV+ cats have their own unique personality and traits 3. You're helping our shelter rescue more FIV+ cats By adopting an FIV+ cat, you are not only getting a new best friend, but we will then be able to help another FIV+ cat in need! 4. FIV is not transmittable to humans While other cats can transmit FIV to each other, it's not transmittable to humans or other species. Looking to adopt two cats? Great! Two FIV+ cats are always better than 1! 5. You're saving a life When you adopt any cat, including FIV+ cats, you are saving a life and opening up a kennel for another cat in need. TO ADOPT SAMANTHA: Start by clicking the “Apply to Adopt” button on my profile! 1.Once you have filled out the adoption questionnaire, our Adoptions team will follow up with you via phone or email as soon as possible. 2.If we are a match, the Adoptions team will schedule a meet and greet appointment at the shelter. If you have any questions regarding our adoption process, please reach out to us at adopt@hihs.org. Please note: Our shelters are open for walk-in visits on Friday-Tuesday, from 10am to 4pm; all adoptions are by appointment only.

Story
Born around 15 September 2025, Rusty arrived at Lucky Paws as a tiny kitten with his brother Dusty. Rusty is visually impaired, and Dusty is missing one eye, but neither boy lets it slow him down. They have learned to navigate their world with confidence and rely on each other in the sweetest ways. They grew up in foster care and are well adjusted as indoor housecats. Rusty can be a little vocal when he is figuring out his surroundings, but once he gets a sniff of his favorite churu, he relaxes and shows his gentle, cuddly side. Dusty helps reassure him, and the two often seek comfort and company from each other. Rusty is fully bonded to Dusty. They thrive as a pair and adjust best when they are together. They are looking for a patient, loving home that understands their needs and will let them settle in at their own pace. Rusty and Dusty are ready to bring twice the companionship and twice the love to their forever family.
