Story
ABOUT MONICA! Meet Monica, our beautiful seven-year-old girl! This little lady came to HAP as a stray momma. She's a very adventurous lady and will need a home that can safely let her spend time inside and outside. Monica has spent time in foster and was adopted from us, but her current owner didn't feel like the neighborhood was a safe one for Monica's wandering ways. Monica has a great personality and loves being with people. She will keep you entertained and give you snuggles when she finally stops exploring. She enjoys being with people and spending time indoors. Monica will dash through doors as quick as a flash and seems to enjoy spending time outside as well. Her owner said that she would stay close to home but then began to explore a little too far out of their cul-de-sac. We will be reviewing applications for Monica to ensure that her new home is located somewhere where she can explore safely. She should not be in a home that can present a danger by cars or traffic. Monica would make a wonderful working cat for a small farm or business that would like an outdoor cat that will also bring them affection and love. **Monica has been diagnosed with very early-stage kidney disease. While this can shorten her lifespan, we have no reason to believe she doesn't have many, many more years left in her! She is currently being treated with a special diet and managed by yearly vet visits. If you are interested in adopting Monica, 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.

ABOUT LORA! Meet Lora, our beautiful six-year-old tabby girl! This pretty lady was brought to HAP by some good Samaritans, who had been feeding her for a few months, after she showed up very skinny to their feral colony. Once she fattened up a bit, she started to show off her sweet side, and her new friends knew that she didn't belong in the outdoors! Lora is a super sweetheart, though she can be a little bossy at times! She likes things to happen on her terms, but when they do, she's a very loving girl! When they don't happen, she does give a little reminder tap that she runs this show! *Lora doesn't like the other cats, and will make that dislike very well known! We don't recommend she go to a home with children or dogs. **If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

Story
ABOUT HAZEL Meet Hazel, our funny little gremlin! This kooky lady came to us after her owners were unable to manage her medical issues. Hazel had a bit of a rough start here, she was NOT pleased being confined, but she settled in quickly and let her personality shine! Hazel is a true character! She is the Queen Bee and the biggest diva of them all! She likes what she likes, and she'll let you know what displeases her. She loves to play and loves to snuggle, she's a true lap cat! She allows you to dress her up, though she will only allow that in small doses. She enjoys going for walks in her stroller, as well. Hazel has been in a foster home before, here's what her foster has to say about her: "She is still as sweet as can be!! I sleep in her room 1-2 nights a week so that she can enjoy nighttime cuddles. She has seen my cats and the majority of the time she doesn't mind them. A few times she has hissed at them/back at them. Over the holiday, she was able to meet my nieces and nephew and did really well! She just loves attention!! Her newest thing is asking for belly rubs!" **Hazel has skin allergies, which are currently managed by a special diet and medication. If not managed, this allergy causes her to break out into a super itchy rash. She MUST stay on her special diet and medication unless otherwise directed by your vet. *Hazel has recently decided that she would be comfortable sharing a home with other kitties, though she does need a slow introduction and a home with calmer cats! We aren't sure how she'd do with a dog, but we assume she would bully them. Once in a home, she does super well with children and new people, though she can be a little grumpy during transitions.

Story
ABOUT RAYNA! Meet Rayna, our beautiful five-year-old calico! This sweet lady was brought into HAP as a sick stray, so of course this has been a long and strange journey for her! Rayna is a little shy at first, and can be a little hissy, but once she knows someone is a friend, she's a real lovebug! She likes to sit next to someone and get some binge-watching in, she isn't much of a player. *Rayna has FIV, which means her immune system is weaker than other cats. She may get sicker easier and for longer, but otherwise it does not affect her health. It is transmittable to other cats through biting, but not to humans or dogs. We recommend she get regular vet care. **Rayna gets along with other cats, but would need to go to a home with either very calm cats or cats with FIV. We don't recommend dogs or children. ***If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

ABOUT SMOKEY AND BANDIT! Meet Smokey and Bandit, our two-year-old sisters! These girls came to HAP from a hoarding case, so this has been a big change for them. They have started to settle in, though! Smokey is the more outgoing of the two, though she can be shy at first. She enjoys playing, so she can usually be won over by some playtime! Bandit tends to be more of the observer, she likes to hang back on the sidelines while her sister takes the lead. After some time, they are both super sweet girls who love to hang out with their people friends! *Smokey and Bandit both do well with other cats, but we recommend they go to a home with no dogs and no children. **If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!
