Story
Ivy had a back injury in our home and has had fear in our house ever since. Her fear leads to bouts of aggression. We travel too much to spend the time needed to help her not have fear-based aggression (intermittently) and she has had difficulty readjusting back into roaming our home. When not scared, she is a cuddly, sweet, purring cat. She does not scratch furniture and only goes to the bathroom in the litter box. She takes medicine in the morning once a day (prozac) and gabapentin as needed for anxiety. Please help me give Ivy another chance to a loving home with someone who can help her realize she can feel calm in a house without getting injured again.

ABOUT THE TRIPLETS! Meet the Triplets, our adorable sisters! These sweeties were born in HAP's care, so they've only known the cushiony indoor life! Since returning from their amazing foster, they've been a little nervous, which is understandable; the shelter is a scary place! The Triplets are a little timid with new people, but once they warm up, they enjoy hanging out with their human friends! They love to play and explore, either solo or with another kitty friend! *The Triplets get along with other cats, but we don't recommend super active dogs or young children. *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 JUNIPER! Meet Juniper, our sweet tabby lady! This pretty girl was brought in as a stray, so we don't know much about her past. What we do know is that she's a super social lady! Juniper is a true people's person (well, cat), she adores being around her human friends! She's always wanting to follow them around and get involved in whatever they are doing. When she isn't hanging out with her friends, she loves to lounge around in her pool of catnip! *Juniper hasn't hasn't had the opportunity to hang out with other cats, so we don't know how she's do with them. We think she'd be fine with calm dogs and children of any age! *If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

ABOUT PEARL! Meet Pearl, our handsome little dude! This shy guy was brought to HAP as a stray, so we aren't sure what his previous life looked like. Based on his timidness, we imagine it wasn't the most comfortable lifestyle. Pearl is a shy little man, who will need some extra time and patience to become the snuggle bug we know he can be! *Pearl gets along well with other cats and may do best in a home with a kitty friend. We don't recommend children or dogs.

ABOUT CINNAMON STIX! Meet Cinnamon Stix, our beautiful tabico lady! This sweet girl came to HAP as a stray, so we don't know much about her past. While this was a big change, she has settled in pretty well! Cinnamon Stix is a quiet lady, who enjoys making her biscuits and snuggling her human friends! She can be a little shy at first but she warms up pretty quickly. While she isn't the biggest fan of playing, she's been known to enjoy some catnip! *Cinnamon Stix hasn't met too many cats, so we aren't sure how she'd do with them. We don't recommend dogs or young children, as she can be nervous around noises. *If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

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.
