About Morticia
You have no name when you are a stray cat brought to the HSHC facility because we don't speak human or carry ID. However, the staff will give you a name as soon as you go through the evaluation process. So, as of March 20, my name is Morticia. I am a 3-year-old female cat, already spayed and litterbox-educated. Obviously, I was someone's cat in the past. It was a good thing that I made my way here because I had an upper respiratory infection, an ear infection, and some sores in my mouth. I received excellent medical care and am now healthy and ready to find my permanent address. My coat is a beautiful blend of gold, brown, and black, which makes me a Torbie. When I first arrived, I was stressed and a little hissy because I didn't feel well. Now, I am used to the routine of the shelter and enjoy the attention the staff and volunteers give me. I let the interviewer lady (IL) pet me everywhere and even gave her a few headbutts in greeting. I admit that some days, I don't feel as sociable as others. You can tell when I prefer some alone time because I will put a "do not disturb" sign on my door. Please consider me if you've been looking for a lovely kitty to add to your household. I won't let you down. 4-28-25

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
