Description Carol
Carol
I transferred to the HSHC on February 6 from a crowded shelter. Wow! This place is pretty swanky. I have a 2-room apartment all to myself with a comfy bed and regular meals. I was visited by the interviewer lady (IL) today, and we had a very pleasant time. She told me I have a lovely, silky soft, short, golden-brown Tabby coat. I came out of my Kasa as soon as she opened my door and quickly pushed my head into her hand. I rubbed against her arms and tucked myself into her shoulder. I couldn't help but begin purring and moving all around to give her access to my back and chin. When I first arrived, I had some tummy trouble, but I'm much better now. The medical staff did tell me that I am FIV+. FIV is a virus infection found only in cats. This condition can lower a cat's immune system. There is no treatment, but I can live a long, happy life, even with FIV- cats, if I have regular vet visits, a healthy diet, and an indoor-only lifestyle. I am only 4-years-old, spayed, and litterbox educated. I intend on living a wonderful life for many, many years if I can find a new owner. Because I am a friendly, affectionate girl, I have no doubts that someone will read my interview and decide I am the perfect cat for them. The IL assured me that I'm at the right place at the right time. Spring is just around the corner, and adopting a furry friend is a fantastic way to celebrate. 2-18-26

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.
