About Akane
For those Japanese Anime fans, I am named after the heroine of the story. Akane means "deep red"; although my coat is not red, it is white, black, and orange, in other words, a calico. I am only 2 years old and was brought to the HSHC as a stray cat on November 10. My complete medical examination revealed a live tick behind my left ear, which was removed! The medical staff noted that I had an upper respiratory infection that has been treated, and that I am a friendly, outgoing girl, not yet spayed but litter-box trained. The interviewer lady (IL) and other volunteers report that I am a genuine sweetheart of a cat. I live in a condo and am always trying to get the attention of anyone passing by! I love socializing with folks and crave chin rubs and ear scratches. Everyone says I am a certified peach-of-a-cat and would make anyone happy. The only thing that might prevent me from being adopted immediately is that I have a heart murmur. This means I will need regular veterinary check-ups to stay healthy. I am so excited by the thought of being someone's bestie! Here's your chance to have a genuine Calico cat! Come on in and ask for Akane! 1-12-26

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.
