Story
Emma is a shy girl that has been born and raised in foster care. She has been spayed and is now ready to find her forever home. She is skittish at first, but loves a good bum scratch when she is comfortable with the humans she is around. Emma would love another feline in her home that will help bring her out of her shell. Her feline friend in the home would need to be passive and easy going as Emma can be dominate in her feline relationships. This cute ball of fur loves to bounce around chasing her toys and run through tunnels. She would be best in a home with older children (10+). Emma also loves a good cat tree, she enjoys being in high places! Emma does have chronic upper respiratory but currently does not require any treatment for this.

Story
Jiggy is an independent boy who likes to spend time doing his own thing. He does enjoy short sessions of having his head pet but this has to be on his own terms as he gets upset and overstimulated easily. He can be shy at first and may take a little while to adjust, but he has quickly come out of his shell since being in our care. Once settled, this boy is friendly and enjoys being around people. He likes to be present but not be bothered too much. A nice cat tree and/or scratch post would bring Jiggy lots of joy. He likes having a place to lounge out and has really enjoyed sitting in the window here, watching the world go by. He loves treats and toys! His favorite toys are little mouse toys.This boy is looking for a nice quiet home without much commotion where he can enjoy his senior years. He prefers fewer people in his life, ideally living with only 1 or 2 people would best suit his interests. Jiggy likes to spend time with adults and would enjoy a home that was child-free. He must be the only animal in the home.

Story
Ellie came into the care of HSHPE as a stray that was not claimed. She is a very skittish girl who takes a while to settle into new situations. She will need a very patient and understanding home while she settles in. The way to Ellies heart is through snacks. She will take treats from your hands and enjoys lick tubes. Ellie would do best in a home where she has a feline friend to play with. Ellie is still warming up to the idea of being pet and does not tolerate being picked up. She is not suited to a home with dogs or children (14+ years).

Karen came into the care of HSHPE as a stray that was not claimed. She is uncomfortable with new people and will need a home that is willing to be patient and gain her trust while she settles in. Karen is most active at night and likes to come out and play with her feline friends. She will likely never be a lap cat but tolerates pets from those she trusts. Karen would make a wonderful companion to another cat in the home. She is not suited to a home with dogs or children (14+ years). Karen is looking for a nice quiet home that will let her settle in at her own pace.

Story
Mareep came to the shelter from an area with a colony of unsocialized cats. Staff could tell that although skittish and standoffish that with time, patience and work she would learn to trust humans and could be a good companion. A staff member took her home to foster and work with her in a more comfortable environment. She has done a wonderful job settling into a foster home and getting more comfortable with humans. She always approaches her foster mom and welcomes her into the room and even occasionally rubs up on her legs. She can still be shy and skittish of loud noises and commotion. She does enjoy being pet on the head with gentle pets, but can get overwhelmed with vigorous petting and can mouth when she gets overstimulated. She does not tolerate being picked up and prefers all four paws on the floor. She loves food and meal times and gets very excited. When she's comfortable and feels like nobody is watching she enjoys playing with her toys as well. Mareep is being fostered with other cats and does okay with the other foster cats in the room, but she can be a bit bossy and standoffish sometimes with them. We feel she would be happiest as the only cat in the home so she can be the queen of the castle without any hassle. Due to her skittish nature it is recommended that her new home has no dogs and older children 12+. Mareep is in foster care, if you are interested in adoption please contact the shelter to arrange for a date for her to be brought in for a meet and greet. Being a shy girl she likely won't show her true personality during a meet and greet, but her foster has lots of pictures and videos to show what she is like once she settles and gets know you.

Story
Hello, I'm Nordy. My days are filled with curiosity and energy, though I might seem shy at first. I'm a bit of an introvert, you see, preferring to observe from my cozy hiding spots. But once I get to know you, my sweet and friendly side shines through. I'm independent, too, content to amuse myself when you're busy. But I'll always be there, ready for a gentle pet or a quiet chat. My ideal home is calm and patient, just like me. If you're looking for a mellow companion who'll respect your space as much as I value mine, I might just be the cat for you.Staff are working with me and getting to know me.Come in and meet Nordy. The Animal Care Attendants are here to answer your questions.
