Story
Pratt came to MHS after spending several months as a stray on a local property. Since coming into care, he has settled into our multi-cat space and has shown that he truly enjoys the company of other cats. While he does not need to be adopted with a specific feline friend, he would do well in a home with another cat and could also potentially live with a calm, cat-savvy dog.Pratt is a quiet, reclusive boy who prefers to observe people from a distance rather than seek out attention. He would thrive in a quieter home with older children, as too much noise or activity can be overwhelming for him. With patience, consistency, and gentle socialization, Pratt may continue to gain confidence and become more comfortable around his people, making him a great match for someone who appreciates a more independent, low-key companion.

Story
Meet Allistair, a handsome 3-year-old black domestic shorthair with a heart as big as his purr. Allistair is completely blind, but don’t let that fool you—this sweet boy navigates the world with bravery and trust. He’s looking for a calm, stable home where furniture doesn’t move often and routines stay consistent, giving him the time and space he needs to carefully map out his surroundings. With patience and understanding, you’ll be amazed at how confidently he learns his environment.Allistair is an incredibly affectionate and gentle soul who bonds deeply with his people. He thrives on love, reassurance, and quiet companionship, and he’ll happily reward your kindness with head bumps and cozy snuggles. He’ll need an adopter who is willing to let him adjust at his own pace and offer steady support as he settles in. In return, Allistair will be a devoted, loving companion who proves every day that being different only makes him more special.

Story
Dade came to MHS after a local ACO humanely trapped him on a property where he had been lingering for some time without a known home. Since arriving, he has been understandably shut down and is still figuring out this big change in his life. Dade is a very vocal boy—if you talk to him, he’ll often “talk” right back. While he may freeze in place when we enter his space, he allows staff to clean and feed him without issue, showing that he’s taking everything in and quietly observing.With time, patience, and consistency, Dade has the potential to blossom. We don’t know his history or how much socialization he’s had, so he’ll need a calm home willing to move at his pace. Starting him in a small, quiet space with food, water, litter, and a safe hiding spot will help him decompress. Establishing a predictable daily routine will be key—when cats can anticipate their interactions, they settle in more quickly and begin to feel secure. Slow introductions to any resident animals will also be important after he’s had time to adjust. In the right environment, Dade could truly surprise someone willing to give him that chance.

Story
Jager is a big, sweet gentleman with an even bigger heart. After losing his owner, he needed some time to adjust to all the changes, and he can be a little growly during transport or his first couple of days in a new space. Once he settles in, though, he completely melts—he’s a total purr machine who adores attention and loves being near his people. Underneath that initial uncertainty is an affectionate, loyal companion who truly bonds with his humans.Jager does need to be on a serious, closely monitored weight loss program, and his adopter will need to work alongside a veterinarian to support his progress and overall health. He’s currently on a strict feeding regimen that must be followed carefully, along with encouragement to gently increase his activity (wand toys are not his thing!). With patience, structure, and ongoing vet care, Jager has so much potential to thrive. He’s a loving boy who just needs a committed home ready to support his health while enjoying all the sweetness he has to give.

Story
Alvin may have come to MHS as a stray, but it didn’t take long for his true personality to shine through. Beneath those squinty eyes is an incredibly sweet, people-loving boy who absolutely adores attention. He leans into pets, seeks out affection, and truly just wants to be close to his humans. Alvin is the kind of cat who bonds deeply and will happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give.Right now, Alvin is considered a medical needs kitty as he awaits corrective surgery for double entropion. Until then, he requires eye medication three times a day to keep him comfortable. He does well overall but will need an adopter who is comfortable administering medication and can confidently handle him during treatment times. Pairing his meds with food or treats has helped make the experience more positive for him. Once his surgery is complete, he is expected to no longer need ongoing eye medications. Alvin is available as a foster-to-adopt placement so he can begin settling into his new home now, and he will need to be brought back to MHS the night before his surgery. With a little patience and care in the short term, you’ll be rewarded with one incredibly loving companion for years to come.
