Story
Octavia Marie is 7.5 years old. She is amazing with kids and great with medium or smaller dogs. She does have pica where she eats plastic, rope, baloon string. All trashcans must have a lid . I adopted her when she was 2 before I met my late husband. He recently died, widowing me a solo parent to a toddler. We had to sell the house and move in with my mom and dad. I work all day long and when I get home I have an overwhelming amount of work with 2 cats if you take both they come with A litter robot. My parents complain about this cats and my mom has told me they need to go because she can see how overwhelmed I am with them. Im a very exhausted overwhelmed recently widowed mom. I just want my babies to have a safe loving home and I simply cannot provide them any attention. They deserve attention and love and not being chased around by a toddler and ignored by adults.

Story
Lincoln is 5 years old. He is fine with kids and great with dogs. I adopted him when he was a 5 week old kitten before I met my late husband. He recently died, widowing me a solo parent to a toddler. We had to sell the house and move in with my mom and dad. I work all day long and when I get home I have an overwhelming amount of work with 2 cats <in rehoming both> <they are bonded but im sure they would be okay apart> if you take both they come with A litter robot. My parents complain about the cats and my mom has told me they need to go because she can see how overwhelmed I am with them. Im a very exhausted overwhelmed recently widowed mom. I just want my babies to have a safe loving home and I simply cannot provide them any attention. They deserve attention and love and not being chased around by a toddler and ignored by adults. Lincoln had a really bad reaction to his vaccines and the vet told me he should not get anymore and since he is indoors he shouldn't ever need them.

Story
ABOUT HOPPS! Meet Hopps, our handsome 12-year-old man! This gentleman came to HAP after his owner was unable to care for him. While this was a big change for Hopps, he's taken it all in stride! He is a true people's person, he loves to be around his human friends! He isn't much for playing, but he loves to follow his humans around and flop at their feet until they pet him! *Hopps doesn't like other cats, though he has lived with them previously with no issues. We aren't sure how he'd do with dogs or children, but older/calmer ones would probably be fine. *Hopps is visually impaired, though we aren't sure to what extent. He gets around well, but does need some time to get used to his surroundings. He has some weakness in his hind quarters, which cause him to be unsteady on his feet. He can walk and get around fine, but he's a bit wobbly. Hopps is currently on a sensitive stomach diet. *If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific cat but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! We may require all household members, including children, to come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
ABOUT CHRISTMAS CHILI AND MISS KRAMPUS! Meet Christmas Chili and Miss Krampus, our pretty mamas! These two came to HAP at separate times, both strays with kittens in tow and both upset at being caged. After a few months of medication and socialization and not much progress, we decided to put the two ladies in a room together, as a last ditch effort. They immediately took to each other and have been inseperatable ever since! Now with each others support and comfort, they two have started to enjoy human attention a little more! Christmas Chili is the more outgoing of the two, she enjoys chirping and booping her human friends, once she gets used to them! Miss Krampus is more on the shy side, though she does enjoy playing with her human friends, as long as they keep their distance! *Christmas Chili and Miss Krampus both adore other cats! We don't recommend they go to a home with dogs or children.

Story
ABOUT BROTHER AND SISSY! Meet Brother and Sissy, our shy duo! These sweeties had been living in a outdoor cat colony, which one of our amazing fosters had been caring for. When our foster was leaving the area, she couldn't bear to leave their fates to chance, so she brought them to HAP! This has been a pretty big adjustment for the two and they are scared of most things, but they've started to get used to the pampered indoor life! Brother is the more people friendly of the two. With a little TLC, he opens right up, ready to get some love! Sissy is more standoffish, but just as lovable. She enjoys watching more than she does interacting, but she's not opposed to a people watching buddy! *Brother and Sissy get along with other cats, but we don't recommend dogs or children, as they are very shy. **If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals.

Story
This new friend has just arrived! They have come to us either as a transfer from another shelter, being found as a stray, or have been surrendered to us by their owner. When our friends are new to us, we are typically unsure of their full background, litter box habits, comfort with handling, or experience with other pets or children. Our staff will spend some time reviewing any information provided by previous owners and spend some time with our new friend so that we can better update their biography. If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals.
