Story
ABOUT SESAME STREET! Meet Sesame Street, our fluffy guy! This handsome fella was brought in to HAP as a stray, so we don't know much about his past. All we know is that he's a super sweet boy! Sesame Street is a super social boy, who loves his human and cat friends! He enjoys playing and snuggling in equal parts, but more than anything, he loves to bird watch! *Sesame Street gets along well with other cats, and we think he'd get along with dogs and children as well. **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 PRINCESS! Meet Princess, a girl that lives up to her name! This pretty lady was brought in to HAP as a stray, so we don't know much about her past. We assume she had a home at one point, because she certainly knows how to enjoy the finer things in life! She demands to live a life of luxury, and who are we to give her any less? She loves yummy treats, cozy beds, and all the catnip her little paws can get a hold of! She enjoys being around people, but mostly just so they'll coo over how beautiful she is! She will allow touches on her terms and her terms alone, but when she does, she is very affectionate! *Princess hates other cats, so she must be the only one in a home. She warmed up to a dog in her foster home, but it took a while and much groveling on the dog's end. We don't recommend 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.

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
ABOUT MISSY! Meet Missy, our big and beautiful lady! This sassy girl came to HAP as a stray, so we don't know much about her past, aside from the fact that she had clearly been eating well! Because this new change of scenery was such a big change, she had a rough time settling in. Some days she still seems to have some serious complaints! Missy is a strong, independent woman, through and through! She knows what she wants and knows how to get it, usually by yelling at us. She can be a little swatty at times, usually just when we're shooing her back in her cage. When we aren't trying to make her do something, she's a real sweetie! She enjoys hanging out with her human friends, sometimes at a distance, sometimes right on them! *Missy hates other cats, so we don't recommend she go to a home with any other cats. We also don't recommend she go to a home with children or dogs, as she can be a lot sometimes. *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
ABOUT JESSIE! Meet Jessie, our handsome tabby boy! This big guy was brought to HAP after his owner passed away, so he had a hard time settling in at first, which is very understandable. Once he understood that we were all his friends, he's started to show off his more sensitive side! Jessie can come off as a little bit of a grump at first, mostly because he likes to grumble about pretty much everything! We do think it's less of a warning and more of him just complaining, as he's not an aggressive guy at all. He loves to be around his human friends and likes to follow them around! *Jessie doesn't get along very well with other cats, and he doesn't like dogs at all, so we recommend he go to a home where he is the only pet. We also recommend older kids, as he enjoys a chill house. ***If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

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.

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.
