Thursday, January 16, 2025POTW - Toffee 1/16/25
Hi, I'm Toffee! I may look like a tiny kitten, but I’m actually a fully grown 2-year-old cat with a huge heart and lots of love to give. I’m a sweet and gentle soul who’s been through a lot, so I might seem a little shy at first. Meeting new people can be a bit overwhelming, but with a little patience and kindness, I’ll start to feel safe and let my true personality shine. Once I know you’re a friend, you’ll get to see my favorite move: the belly roll! It’s my special way of saying, “I trust you.” I enjoy

Thursday, January 09, 2025Pet of the Week - Grizwold
PET OF THE WEEK Grizwold is our current oldest cat resident. He came to the SPCA-HC in October as a stray and in rough shape. Where he came from stray holding, we unfortunately do not know anything about his past, where he came from, and what his life has looked like. We do know that when he came into our care, he required a full shave to remove matting that was several inches deep which is why he has a handsome lion haircut. He doesn’t love it, but we think it looks dashing. With his senior age,

PET OF THE WEEK We are very pleased to introduce our purrfect 3-legged kitty resident, Mr. Nubbins! What he lacks in a hind right leg, he makes up for in heart. This absolute love bug came into our care, from stray holding, so we unfortunately do not know anything about his history, or how he lost his hind leg, but the vet believes he was born with it that way. Our best estimate at his age is around 3 years old. He is a vocal cat who loves telling people all about his day while they pet his soft fur and

His puppy years have come and gone while he’s been shuffling around shelters, and he’s really ready to find his forever home. It is non-negotiable that he goes to a home with no other animals.
