  Shelley
is a 2 year old, spayed Tortie who is spayed and so ready to
be with her family. She is
a darling girl who is good with kids and even
dogs….but she would prefer to be the only kitty in
the home. Those big eyes are just gorgeous!

  Claire
is a 4 year old, spayed Calico with stunning eyes that match
her coat. She has absolutely gorgeous
markings…simply one of the most beautiful cats we’ve
seen come through the shelter. She is good with
people but she wants to be the only feline in the
home. Claire would love to be the center of
attention and is a professional lap cat. (References

Teacup |
 |
|
Teacup & Vanilla,
Headlining at the Humane Society since
August 2007! Shows daily! |
Allow me to introduce our “sister act” Teacup
and Vanilla. They have been getting rave reviews from
the staff here at the shelter. These raven-haired
DSH beauties are 2 years old, litter box trained and
ready for their close-ups! Sadly, their previous
engagement was canceled when their owner released
them to the Humane Society. Apparently there were
just too many animals in the house and no room for T
& V. They are sisters from birth and best friends
for life. It would be sad to split up the act, but
they are willing to go solo if the right person
comes along to let them “star” in a new home. If you
have been looking for an ingénue to appear in your
family movies, look no further than Teacup and
Vanilla.

Kia
Kia & Rowdy, A Tale of Two Kitties |
 |
|
Rowdy
ADOPTED |
Kia—and then there was one…
Though I’m very happy that my brother was
adopted, I’m feeling a little sorry for myself.
We came together to the shelter last July when our
owner moved away. I had been looking after my little
brother all this time—we get along so well.
Anyway he’s found a home and I think that’s great
for him….. I wonder what he’s doing right now.
Sitting in a patch of sun, sleeping on his human’s
lap, or maybe he’s playing with some new toys?
It’s hard not to be jealous. Even though they treat
me well here, it’s just not the same as being in a
house with a family.
I just don’t understand why I haven’t been
adopted yet. I am still a young lady (only 5) and I
have been told that I am a very pretty feline. I
certainly am a friendly sort of gal. There is lots
of life left in this kitty-cat. Wouldn’t you like to
take me home with you? I’ve already been spayed so I
can go with you today!
Her buddy, Rowdy is also a DSH, but he is
solid black. He’s been neutered and also has great
litter box skills. He is a very friendly out-going
cat with lots of personality. He’s devoted to Kia,
but they have discussed what might happen if they
are separated. It will be rough, but they are
willing because they want a home so badly. Back in
July 2007 their owner had to move so she surrendered
the pair to the shelter. These owner-surrendered
pets can just languish in their cage, becoming
depressed and listless. It has helped that Kia and
Rowdy have each other to keep their spirits up. It’s
hard to explain to them that they were not bad cats,
just unwanted ones. You won’t find a nicer couple to
adopt. You’ll make their day if they can both go
home with you!

Marlowe, The Gentle
Soul of a Poet |
The British poet Christopher Marlowe said it
best when he wrote, “Who ever loved that loved not
at first sight?”
Let’s hope that our 3 year old, DSH version of
Marlowe will win your heart when you first catch
sight of him! A sweet, gentle, friendly cat, Marlowe
does not like mean cats. Some might say he’s a
scaredy cat! His former grumpy roommate didn’t want
to share space with him, so he was happy to move
into his present studio apartment. But you can see
by looking into his pretty pale yellow eyes that he
is longing for a new home with someone who will
cuddle him and scratch him under his chin. Are you
in love yet?

  Happy
New Year Tippy!
Like many of us, Tippy would like to shed a few
pounds in 2008. Tippy’s previous owners allowed her
to get extremely overweight. When she arrived at
the shelter tipping the scales at 18.2 lbs, we
started her on a weight control diet…and we’re proud
to say that she now weighs in at a svelte 14.9lbs!
Look at those jade green eyes and snowy white coat
with a saddle of brown and black tiger stripes. You
can see the super model just waiting to come out! An
Ohio State fan, Tippy enjoys crawling inside the
sweatshirt of a human Buckeye supporter and watching
the game. Although she may be a little fearful at
first, once she gets to know you, she’s a bona fide
lap cat. Tippy is a youthful 6 years old and has
been spayed and declawed. Please give this sweet
girl a chance at a better home life than the one she
had before.
Tippy qualifies for our
P.A.W.S. Program - Partnering Animals With Seniors.
If you are age 55 or older, please contact the
shelter to find out how you can adopt Tippy for a
$45 adoption fee.

 Mrs.
Ribbon—A Woman of Independent Means
This 2 year old orange tabby is feeling completely
over-whelmed. She was released to the shelter
because her owner passed away and no one in the
family wanted to take her in. Mrs. Ribbon has been
very shy and insecure during her stay—we guess she
is not all that happy with her accommodations. She
loves to be petted but would prefer that she not be
picked up. Mrs. Ribbon would like to find a human
who will allow her to be a “career cat” with her own
personal agenda. This is no clingy, mewling
kitty-cat! She’s more the strong, independent type
of gal. If you don’t need a “needy” cat, Mrs. Ribbon
is the cat for you! She is spayed and will be taking
interviews for humans during regular business hours.

 BROOKE—Looking
for a tidy roommate!
Wanted: single, mature, individual (no children
please) who appreciates a well organized, clean
living space and values personal space.
This single, 5 year old, DLH Calico prefers
someone who will pay attention only to her—at her
stage in life she should not have to deal with rowdy
kittens or slobbery dogs. She always keeps herself
impecably groomed and takes pride in keeping her
cage clean. She is a little shy, but also does not
like to be “mauled”. Decorum is very important in
this single ladies life. Brooke expects her roommate
to behave in an equally civilized manner. Not a big
fan of exercise, Brooke does not mind if the
roommate participates; just don’t ask her to join
in. Hobbies include grooming, sunbathing, looking
regal, and playing chess. Inquiries should come
through the H.S.H.C. Dogs need not apply.

 Talia—What
a darling little 3 yr. old Tabby! She has been
lodging with us since June 07 and has never once
complained. She gets along with everybody, cat &
human alike. She’s been spayed and takes pride in
her personal appearance. She would like for you to
pay special attention to the little tufts on the
points of her ears—they are her one vanity. Talia
would make such a wonderful lap cat; won’t you give
her yours?

 My
name is Juni—But I’m sweet all the other months too!
Juni is one of our senior citizens who is feeling
much better now than when she was surrendered to the
shelter. When Juni came to us back in September of
07, her owner was moving and no longer wanted her.
However, she also had dog bite wounds and a skin
infection which had been neglected. Juni is 8 years
old but she seemed to bounce back well after our
loving care. You can’t even see where she was shaved
anymore. Juni has snowy white fur with patches of
orange, sort of a creamsicle
of a kitty!
Since being with us, Juni has put on a little weight
so she is now on “Lite” food. This girl does enjoy
her meals—she was purring up a storm during her
latest lunch.
Juni loves attention, but somehow she has been
overlooked all these months. She can be shy and
maybe that is why she’s not yet found her forever
home. Won’t you let this little lady have some happy
golden years on your lap. Remember dogs scare her!
Juni qualifies for our
P.A.W.S. Program - Partnering Animals With Seniors.
If you are age 55 or older, please contact the
shelter to find out how you can adopt Juni for a $45
adoption fee.

 Faith—She
is hoping for a family!
You can get lost in the lovely emerald eyes of
this pretty lady. Faith is a 4 year old tabby.
She came to us as a stray in November ’07 and has
been waiting very patiently for her new owner to
come and get her. She has a golden brown face and
tigerish black marks on her back. She has been
spayed so she is ready to go home with you today!
Everyone who knows Faith just loves her—she is an
affectionate, sweet natured girl. She even seems to
like other cats. She would just love to be curled up
on your lap. We have faith that the right person
will fall in love with Faith!

 Hail
Caesar!
Caesar has been with us since November 2007 and he
is still a man of mystery. He arrived as a
stray, but this is no ordinary traveling man. There
is the air of royalty in his emerald green eyes,
silky black and white coat and those distinctive
markings on his face. Most people comment on his
little white “eye brow” whiskers. Caesar is still
holding back the story of his life before the
shelter. He is more of a loner, preferring human
company to that of animals. He enjoys attention, but
takes a while to feel comfortable. He does seem to
be a creature of habit; when it’s time to clean his
cage he immediately jumps into his personalized
carrier. No furtive escape plan for this guy—he’s
happy to stay quietly at home. If you are attracted
to the strong silent type, Caesar is your man, uh,
cat!
|
|
|
 In
Latin, Sebastian means “venerable”-- a fitting name
for this young man! He is a handsome DLH with orange
and cream tabby markings. He is sweet and
playful and can get a little rowdy—but hey, he’s
just a year old! We all got a little silly when we
were kids. Sebastian has been known to roll over on
his back as if to say “Rub my belly please”. He has
the reputation for being a nice gentle cat. He may
not always like to be picked up and held, but he
sure loves to be petted. The sad part of the story
is that he has been adopted and returned 3 times.
The reasons include “doesn’t like children” & “too
active”. It’s enough to give a guy a complex! We
can’t understand why he has not been adopted to his
forever home, but we hope that the right person will
see the qualities in Sebastian that make him such a
good cat and will give him the respect that he
deserves….plus a few belly rubs.

 Alicia—This
is no Wonderland!
Alicia is a Latin derivation of Alice. And
this little “Alice” feels like she fell down the
rabbit hole! Where has she landed?! Alicia is
one of our many cats who have been dropped off at
the shelter because her owner was moving and didn’t
want her anymore. She misses her family and is
pretty confused about these strange, new
surroundings. She is used to being an only cat, so
all these new cats get on her nerves. But PEOPLE,
now that’s another story. She is very affectionate,
loves to be petted and is a purring machine! Alicia
is a beautiful blend of grey tabby and white with
pale green eyes. If you walk away from her, she will
stick her paw through the bars and meow to get your
attention. She will come right up to the cage door
and beg you to play with her. If you would like to
rescue this little girl from the Red Queen, she
promises to be on her best behavior.
Because Alicia is 5 years old,
she qualifies for our P.A.W.S. Program - Partnering
Animals With Seniors. If you are age 55 or older,
please contact the shelter to find out how you can
adopt Alicia for a $45 adoption fee.

 Isaac—which
means “He Laughs”
We’d like you to meet Isaac, a 6 year old tabby with
a white chest. He is a very flexible guy and not in
a yoga way. He lived happily in a home for 6
years, getting along with dogs, cats and kids; but
when a new baby arrived, Isaac was brought to the
shelter and surrendered. He still can’t believe he
lost the only home he ever knew. But Isaac can still
laugh at his fate. He knows someone will come along
and fall in love with him. He is a bit on the chubby
side and requires special food due to crystals in
his urine. But those are his only weaknesses. He’s
been neutered so he can leave here today! He loves
attention, and is a medal winning lap sitter.
Because Isaac is 6 years
old, he qualifies for our P.A.W.S. Program -
Partnering Animals With Seniors. If you are age 55
or older, please contact the shelter to find out how
you can adopt Isaac for a $45 adoption fee.

 Rasta—Come
to Jamaica Mon
Allow me to introduce you to Rasta, one laid-back
kitty. She is not on daylight savings time; she’s on
Island Time! This is not a high energy, wild &
crazy cat. She enjoys a more leisurely approach to
life. When Rasta arrived at the shelter in January
she was covered in mats—and thus earned her name
from her many dreadlocks. Unfortunately she required
extensive clipping to free her of these painful
mats. Rasta’s been sensitive about her “bald spots”
but at least they are beginning to grow in! Rasta
certainly loves people—she will give you a hug with
both front legs! This 3 year old DLH has silky soft
black fur which she enjoys having brushed. She also
loves clinging to your shoulder. The only things we
know she is not too crazy about are other cats. We
think this is because she doesn’t really know she is
a cat! Since she has been spayed, she can come home
with you today. If you also enjoy a relaxed pace in
your life, Rasta would love to curl up on your lap
and take a little snooze.

 Baron—a
wallflower at heart
This sleepy-eyed boy has the stripes of a tiger, but
the heart of a pussy-cat. He arrived at the
shelter in January and has been a little bit shy in
his new surroundings. Once you get him out of his
cage Baron loves the attention. He is exceptionally
good at kneading your shoulder! He really enjoys
being held and given love. I observed him to give
kisses while being held. So we’re talkin’
Lovey-Dovey! Baron is about 2.5 years old and will
be neutered once he is adopted. Who knows, once
Baron goes to his forever home, he may drop his
wallflower status and become a confident and
powerful Wall Street Baron!

 Vidalia—She’s
a peach, not an onion!
This little sweetie is wishing for a family to come
and take her home. What a lovey, cuddly cat this
3 year old is! She came to us as a stray back in
August and she would like you to know how worried
she is about being here. She (and we) thought she’d
be adopted by now. If you talk to her she comes
right up for a head rub and ear scratch. We don’t
want her to lose her outgoing per-sonality and
charm, as often happens with long timers. Vidalia is
just the perfect kitty for anyone. She is spayed and
is ready to be your new lap cat.

 Vivacious
Vivian
Who can resist a face like this? Vivian (Vivy to her
friends) is just the best kind of friend to have.
She’s quiet and gentle, affectionate and fun to
be with. She can keep a secret and she never holds a
grudge. She was surrendered to the shelter just
before Christmas and has never said a bad word about
her former owner. She is 3 years old so she knows
the ropes about living in a house. She is already
spayed too! Vivian is a gorgeous Calico with a white
bib and tummy. Please consider making friends with
Vivy; you won’t regret it!

 Rogue—This
girl is not one of the X-men!
This pretty little black DSH has been given the
short end of the stick. She arrived at the
shelter in November ’07 as an unwed mother. Sadly,
all of her babies died. She has since been spayed.
Rogue has been reluctant to open up and share her
past, but it can’t have been an easy life. We figure
she is about 4 years old. She takes a while to warm
up to new people. Group therapy has shown her to be
kind hearted with people but kind of grouchy around
other cats. She would prefer to be an “only cat”.
She loves to be held by the human beings at the
shelter, so we know she would love to be adopted
into a family who will give her time to learn to
trust. Rogue can go home with you today.
|
|
|
 Rogan—Ready
to Play!
This 2 year old boy is still a kitten at heart.
Rogan came to us as a stray just before Christmas
and has been rooming with his best friend Squeaka.
They get along famously since they are both
pretty goofy. You can see that Rogan has a tiny wisp
of white on his otherwise all black coat. We
neutered him & that’s why he and Squeaka can live
together. Rogan would love to go home to play with
you and anyone else who lives there! Just make sure
you’ve got plenty of cat toys.
|
|
|
 Zilla—Waiting
Patiently…
This 4 year old DLH boy is looking for just the
right person who will appreciate his good looks,
laid back personality and friendly outlook on life.
Not a particularly lively guy, Zilla would look
great draped over the back of the sofa. For a cat
who has been neutered and staying with us since
early November, he’s been pretty patient. If you
would like to offer this gentleman a place to hang
his hat, you can take him home with you today. Just
remember to give him a nice place to plop
down—preferably in the sun!

 Baylor—A
Jr. at Baylor University, working on his degree in
C.U.T.E.
This 3 year old DSH male is such a sweet little boy.
His bright gold eyes sparkle and he just purrs
and purrs. On taking him into my arms, he
immediately began rubbing his face on my chin and
nuzzling to get closer. He wanted my undivided
attention and I was happy to give this little
love-bug plenty of “face time”. Baylor must have
left college on a road trip because he showed up at
the shelter in January. He has adjusted well to his
new dormitory and has had roommates come and go. He
is puzzled as to why no one has offered him a
scholarship to their home work/study program. He is
ready to display all the skills he has mastered at
school, such as: charming, meowing softly, reaching
for things with his paw, rolling on his back, face
nuzzling (straight A’s) and advanced kneading. He’s
eager to learn new things. He has an interest in
French cooking and Romance Languages. His transcript
indicates he has been neutered and is ready to
graduate from the shelter and move right in with
you.
|
|
|
 Slick—Single
and Looking!
This handsome “older man” has everything going for
him except his current forwarding address. He is
a 7 year old, with short to medium hair that’s snowy
white and coal black. Add his green eyes, pink nose
and fabulous disposition and you have a contestant
for “The Bachelor”. Slick was surrendered to the
shelter but we cannot figure out why! He’s laid
back, not the least bit aggressive, loves to be
petted, has been declawed in front & neutered. He
would make a wonderful lap cat.
We are sure there is someone out there who is
looking for a cat with Slick’s qualifications.
Slick qualifies for the PAWS program so if you are
55 or older, he can go home with you today for $45.

 Jared—“How
about a staring contest? First one to blink adopts
the other!”
Jared double dog dares you to spend some time with
him and not fall in love. This 4 year old DSH
boy will talk your arm off just to get your
attention. He can really carry on a conversation. He
is a friendly, out-going fellow who likes to be in
the center of all the action. Jared is a good
looking guy, with orange tiger stripes and a fluffy
white bib. He has been neutered so he is ready to
take his stand-up act to your house.
If you like comedians, Jared is your man, well, cat!

 Will—
Ferrell or Smith?
Is he the zany, wild man type or the action hero
type? We’ll let you decide for yourself. Will is
3 years old and wears a B&W tuxedo every-day! He is
friendly with people and other cats and has gorgeous
green eyes & white whiskers. Will arrived as a
stray, but since he is declawed in front, he must
have been someone’s pet at one time. If you decide
to adopt Will, let us know who you think he is more
like….My money is on Will Smith!
|
|
|
 Willow—Wistful
& Waiting
Though her expression seems to say, “No more
pictures please!” Willow is a lovely little
girl! She has such a beautiful golden tabby coat
with a snowy white bib. Her eyes are gold and it
looks like she has brown eyeliner running from her
eyes to her cheeks. But her best feature is her
sweet nature. If you stop to chat with her she tries
to squeeze right up to the bars of the cage so that
you can rub her. She is just so happy and grateful
for some attention that she’ll do her best to keep
you there. She’s 3 years old and was surrendered to
the shelter by her previous owner. Even though she
doesn’t understand why she is here, she is waiting
patiently for someone to come and take her home. She
has been spayed and seems to be more than ready to
pack her bags and move out. Will-ow you give her a
second chance at happiness?
|
|
|
 Paws—He’s
worth a pause & a visit!
Looking at him in this photo, you would never know
that Paws was abandoned by his previous owner. A
neighbor rescued him and brought him to the shelter
in early December. He had been out there alone for
who knows how long. Though he’s 2 years old, he
still loves to play. Spend a little time with this
boy and you will hear a purring machine! Paws
prefers to be an only cat and in return he will give
you lots of kitty love. Check out his white lips,
white bib, & white belly. He also has beautiful pale
green eyes. If you are looking for a very nice boy
to spoil and play with, Paws would be a terrific
candidate.

|
 Keno—S.O.S.
This handsome 5 year old DSH, neutered male has been
residing with us since August 2007. And he’s
sorely in need of a cat lover who would like to
rescue him from the shelter. He’s been here so long
that he is sometimes kind of “cranky”. He seems to
get along fine with his roommate, but he does show
signs of stress-- like sitting in the litter box and
not coming to the front of the cage to visit.
Perhaps he’s given up hope of ever seeing a patch of
sun or walking on a carpeted floor. But we know
there is a very patient person out there who knows
cats and would love to take Keno home. Maybe it’s
you?
|
|
|
 Bubby—
Where’s the Pool?
The first thing everyone notices about Bubby is his
eyes—they’re so big! But then again, everything
about him is big. This 3 year old DSH boy weighs
in at 22 lbs. His amazing, almost human eyes are
green and he has buff and white tabby markings. His
owners surrendered him to the shelter because he
scratched up some furniture. Hmmm, didn’t they know
cats have claws?
Besides his charm & good looks, Bubby is known for
his skill at opening doors and enjoying water
sports. Currently, playing in a running faucet is
his specialty, but he is signed up for water polo at
the local YCCA. Bubby loves attention and being
petted, but is not too crazy about being picked up.
That’s a man for you. Bubby is being fostered at
Northside Veterinary Hospital; he was a former
patient and they love him so much that they wanted
to keep him there until he goes home. If you love
water and big sweet cats, this Bub’s for you!
|
|
|
 Biddie—An
Itty Bitty sweetheart!
Have I got a cat for you! This 5 year old DSH
came to us as a stray right before Christmas.
Her former owner put a pink sparkly collar on her,
but didn’t have the common sense to spay her. This
little lady is definitely a lap cat. She enjoys
being outside of her cage and loves to stretch her
legs. She’ll be a perfect cat for sitting on the
couch and reading or watching tv. If she can find a
patch of sun in which to take a nap, that will make
her so happy. Her lady-like pose reveals her very
feminine side. Biddie would probably prefer older
children and adults—she is a Senior you know. If you
too are a senior, Biddie can be yours for $45.

 Freya,
with the harlequin face!
This photo shows the amazing patterns of color
on Freya’s face. She is a gorgeous 2 year old
Tortie with loads of personality. Freya will cuddle
and snuggle all you want but she is also a very
playful young lady. During cleaning time in the
cages, Freya will try and make a break for it. I
figure she’s looking for a mirror to check her
make-up. However, Freya is getting worried. She’s
been here since September 07 and still no one has
paid her any attention. Perhaps they have not really
looked at her amazing multi-colored coat or
experienced a cuddle from this sweet natured girl.
She has already been spayed so that means she can
come home with you today. Please give Freya a little
time and I am sure she’ll win your heart.

 Arthur
Fonzerelli-- ehhhhhhhh call me Fonzie
I rode my cycle into this shelter back in
December 07 and have been hangin’ out with all the
cats since then. You can see I’m one good lookin’
guy, mostly black with a little bit of white on my
chest. I have been around the block a few times; I’m
5 years old but I’m still a chick magnet. (They
don’t need to know about that little neutering
procedure I had done) As long as we’re talkin’
confidentially, I may look pretty tough, but I am
really more like Richie Cunningham. I’m a little
shy, but very well behaved and I just love to be
sweet talked. I’m a softie, I admit it. Now, change
is not one of my favorite things to deal with, but
give me time and space and I’m a real cool cat!
If you remember the 50’s & 60’s like I do, jump in
your ragtop and come on down to shoot the breeze.
I’m only $45 bucks if you were born in 1953 or
earlier. Ehhh what a deal!

 Colby
“You talkin’ to me?”
This is one macho cat. He’s big, he’s “bad” and he’s
ready to go! Colby’s owner surrendered him to the
shelter back in early December and Colby still can’t
figure out why after 2 years, suddenly allergies
caused his owner to get rid of him. Now we’re
not talking “shy little pussy cat”. This guy is a
man’s man uh, cat. He is 2 years old and neutered.
He enjoys strutting his stuff, fly fishing, bowling
and welding. Pet peeves include: grabby humans, pink
on anything, baby talk and the fact that he’s been
declawed on all 4 paws!

 Diego—The
teacher
The name Diego has an early Greek meaning:
“teaching”. This little grey DSH tabby boy could
teach us all the value of hope. He came to us as a
stray back in July of 07 and was adopted out while
still a kitten.
Unfortunately his new family moved away and decided
to leave Diego behind at the shelter. Through out
his short but difficult life he has maintained his
happy-go-lucky personality. He is very social and
friendly with cats and people of all ages. Spend a
little time with him and he’ll come right up to the
cage for some chin rubbing. He will roll over on his
back and show off his purring skills. You would
never know he had to leave the comfortable home he
lived in for 7 months and return to the shelter. He
wears a perpetual smile. If only we could all learn
from Diego & look optimistically at the future.
Since he has been neutered, Diego can go home with
you today! You can prove to him that good things
happen to those who wait!

 Dante—Does
this photo make my feet look big?
Dante isn’t exactly a “dandy”, but he does
like to make a good impression. Grooming is
important to him. That’s not to say he’s a slave
to fashion. He knows how to kick back and spread the
litter around. You can see for yourself that Dante
is a handsome orange tabby, but you may not know
that he’s 2 years old, already neutered, great with
roommates of the feline or human persuasion and is a
laugh riot at parties. As a matter of fact, Dante
was dropped off here at the shelter just after New
Year’s Day, so he may have been out wandering the
streets looking for his keys. He was wearing a tiny
lampshade. So draw your own conclusions. We know
that Dante would make a very good family pet due to
his affectionate nature. He just requests that you
show him lots of affection, time with a full length
mirror occasionally and his own subscription to GQ.
He’s ready to adopt today!

 Penelope
“Come up & see me sometime!”
You can see by her “come hither” look that
Penelope is a femme fatale. She is a 3 year old
DSH with a luxurious tabby & white coat. A little
history: Penelope was a stray kitty until she was
adopted by a family. She lived with them for one
year and then they decided that they had too many
animals and Penelope was the one that had to go. She
was surrendered to the shelter in early January
2008.
So it’s not too surprising that Penelope is a bit
reserved at first; some might even say she’s shy.
But she gets along with all of the cats she has
roomed with. She is very laid back and easy going,
as you can see in her photo—she may fall asleep any
minute!
If you would like a low maintenance kitty companion
for your existing cat or just a sweet heart to love
and spoil, Penelope would be an excellent choice.

 Prince
(William or Charming: take your pick)
You probably didn’t know we had royalty
staying with us, but this 1.5 year old DSH is
certainly the closest thing to it. He earns his
title everyday: in his kindness, his generosity of
affection, his magnanimous treatment of those
attending to his needs, and his acceptance of all
felines living within his chamber. He is quite the
handsome catch for those of you looking to find your
Prince--silky soft black and white fur and amazing
green eyes. His demeanor is always calm, relaxed and
sweet. When the maids come to clean his chamber, he
waits patiently upon the balcony and watches
patiently. He never tries to interfere or leave the
premises. Once the fresh bedding has been laid down
for him, he will regally descend onto it and
politely smile at the caretaker in thanks. Prince
was surrendered to the shelter in January 08 by his
owner—they were moving. It was reported that Prince
is good with children. He would really enjoy
resuming his duties as a lap cat. Because his
“family jewels” have been removed, Prince is ready
to reign over your house today. Please come pay your
respects to Prince at your earliest convenience.

 Gideon—Let’s
play
You can see that Gideon is holding a string in his
paw, but what you can’t see are the wheels spinning
in his head. He’s always thinking of some new
way to have a good time. This fun-loving 3 year old
arrived as a stray in early December 07 & has been
keeping us in stitches ever since. He is such a
playful guy; you’d swear he was a kitten in cat
clothing. We are not sure how Gideon does with other
cats, but he sure loves to stick his front legs out
to try to reach his next door neighbors. He’s a
sweet boy and loves attention. But what really makes
him tick is PLAYING! If you would like to bring a
perpetual goof-ball into your family, then I think
Gideon fits the bill.

 Grant
the “Great”
In old English the name Grant means tall or great.
It’s a fitting name for this fellow. Doesn’t he look
like he’s smiling in this picture? He is so happy to
have anybody’s attention. He likes to be held and
“loved on”; you can really hear him purr! His
roommate Diego is his BFF; but sometimes he hogs the
spotlight and Grant gets ignored. But how can you
ignore this 2 year old orange tabby? He’s got such a
handsome face! Grant came to us as a stray around
Christmas Day 07.
He has seen a few of his fellow cats come and go and
wishes that he too could find a new family. If you
would like a great new member of the family, please
consider Grant.

 Pisces—An
equal opportunity friend
What a cute photo! Pisces seems to be enjoying
spending time with her new friend. But when you
spend a little time with this 3 year old DSH, you
will see that she makes friends with everyone she
meets. Pisces has been so happy since she moved into
the community room where she can hang out with other
cat buddies. She’s outgoing and sweet natured.
Pisces loves to be held and stroked; she begins to
purr immediately. Some cats are stand-offish but
this little girl is a social butterfly. She has made
some good friends in the community room. I watched
Kia grooming Pisces and she appeared to relax
against Kia’s side. She has a golden and brown coat
with a bit of white on her chin & neck. She will
readily stretch her neck so that you can rub her
little chin. Pisces was found in a garage and came
to the shelter in February. And even though she is
happy to be here in the community room, we know she
is longing to go home with someone asap.

 Kenya—I’ve
been framed!
In Russian, Kenya means “innocent”. If you talk
to this petite B & W domestic short hair, she will
tell you that she was innocently roaming around
Noblesville, looking for food when she was picked up
& brought into the shelter as a stray. This was back
in October 07 and she is really tired of being
behind bars. Granted, she’s very fond of her
cellmate Angela (you can see her hiding behind the
more outgoing Kenya) but she is ready to break out
of jail and start a new life. She tried to get an
attorney to represent her, but she didn’t have phone
privileges. Kenya is a very affectionate, friendly
girl who loves attention during visiting hours. She
loves to be held and cuddled with. This 5 year old
girl has already been spayed, so she can come home
with you today. She promises she’ll never roam the
streets again!
Kenya qualifies for the PAWS program. If you are
over 55, she is yours for $45.

 Angela—Be
an angel & adopt me!
This 2 year old Dilute Tortoiseshell DSH girl
is so beautiful. Her photo shows the lovely
blending of gray and buff in her coat. Angela
arrived as a stray back in November 07 and moved in
with her roommate Kenya. She is fine with sharing
her room and enjoys spending time with other cats.
She is however, still a bit shy with strangers. She
prefers to let Kenya go out to greet the visitors
first. But give her time to warm up she just loves
attention and petting. She has already been spayed
so she can go home with you today.
Six months is long enough for Angela to figure out
she wants to find her forever family. Please don’t
make her wait much longer!

 Sylva—on
Match.com
As you can see by my profile photo, I am a petite,
single DSH, only 2 years old searching for Mr. or
Ms. Right. I have a dilute tortoiseshell coat
and (I’ve been told) amazing green eyes. I prefer to
be exclusive in my relationships (no other cats
please). I admit I am a little jealous of sharing my
space with another feline. I have been searching
since January 08 for my perfect match, but I don’t
want to settle for just any old human. I need
“chemistry”! Pet peeves include: other cats, having
to share cat toys, a dirty litter box, and cold
drafts. Hobbies are: playing with catnip toys,
grooming, hide & seek, and afternoon naps. If this
sounds like a match to you, please contact HSHC and
ask for Sylva.

Tinkie—A Lady in Distress
This beautiful snowy white DSH has had a very
traumatic life. She came to us as a stray late
one February night. Her left rear leg was very
severely injured—it was a deep bite wound. With
medicine and care, Tinkie began to recover from her
injury, but she was frightened and shy. Today,
Tinkie walks with a limp, but given the severity of
the bite, she is lucky to have survived. If you
visit her now, she will come to the front of her
cage and ask for a head rub. She is gradually
gaining confidence and becoming more social. She is
4 years old and not yet spayed. Who knows what kind
of life she led before coming here? Because she
experienced such a bad bite, she will be much
happier in a “dog-less” home. I fell in love with
her green eyes, pink nose and deep throated purr.
She’ll make someone a very sweet companion.

Midnight…..“at the oasis”
Pardon the pun, but this is her favorite song “send
your camel to bed”. Anyway, Midnight wants you
to know that she never cared for her name so she
likes to goof around with it. She was surrendered to
the shelter by her owners due to allergies, after
living with them for a year. She is 3 years old and
has been spayed. You can see she’s a stunning DLH
with hypnotic yellow eyes. Midnight is used to being
with other cats and children and she likes them just
fine. But dogs are another story. They just drive
her nuts. So she’s looking for a home with cats and
kids, but no pooch! By the way, she also likes “Till
the Midnight Hour”, “After Midnight”, and the
musical “Cats”.
