Celeste is a gorgeous all-white beauty with a gentle, soft-spoken personality to match her coat.

Her sisters recently found their forever families, and now Celeste is so excited and ready for her turn to shine! While big sounds and sudden movements can make her hold back at first, Celeste is a sweet girl who just wants to feel safe and cherished.

She relies on quiet routines, soft voices, and gentle touches to show her that everything is okay. With a little patience, Celeste will blossom into your most devoted companion, soaking up peaceful afternoons and sunny window spots right by your side.

White cats like Celeste are true little treasures—and she is ready to bring so much warmth and grace to a quiet home!

Ready to give this sweet girl her turn? Fill out an application online to meet Celeste! 🤍✨

She spent her whole life caring for others. Now, it's HER turn. 🌿🤱

Willow was the ultimate mama. She poured every ounce of her energy, warmth, and love into raising her babies, making sure they were safe, fed, and loved until they were ready for homes of their own.

Her babies have all moved on to their bright futures...but Willow is still here, quietly waiting in her corner.

Mama cats are so often overlooked once their kittens grow up, but Willow deserves a fairy-tale ending of her own. She is so sweet, so gentle, and craves human affection more than anything else in the world. She just wants to be someone’s baby now.

💔 Don't let this sweet mama get left behind. Help Willow find the loving lap she has earned!

BOX TRAP. EASY-SET TRAP. GRAVITY TRAP. DROP TRAP.

They are all humane trapping tools—but they are not used exactly the same way or for every situation.

At our Community Cat Workshop, Lauren will demonstrate several trap styles and explain:

• How each trap activates
• How to line and bait it correctly
• Where the trip mechanism is located
• When a drop trap may be useful
• How to cover and label a trapped cat
• Why traps must be actively monitored
• How to transport a cat without opening the trap

The demonstration will use clean, empty traps and a stuffed demonstration cat. Please do not bring live animals or occupied traps to the event. Advance pre-registration is required by October 8; no walk-ins will be accepted.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by a loud room or a crowded space, you already understand Bellatrix.

Bellatrix is a gorgeous adult tortie who finds the busy shelter environment a bit too much to handle. When she’s in an enclosure, her initial instinct is to retreat into her shell. But put this sweet girl in a home? Her true, loving personality comes alive!

Once she’s in a cozy space, Bellatrix is an absolute master biscuit-maker. She will march right up to head-butt your hand for pets, demand chin scratches, and when bedtime rolls around, she loves nothing more than curling up right next to you for a good night’s sleep.

She doesn't care for a busy environment, but she cares deeply about her humans. Bellatrix is looking for a peaceful home where she can finally unpack her bags, relax her shoulders, and keep your feet warm every single night.

Ready for the ultimate bed-time cuddle bug? Apply to adopt and meet Bellatrix, and help this sweet queen find her forever castle! 💖

Life is sweet, but it’s even sweeter with Cupcake! 🧁✨

If you were to recipe-test the perfect cat, Cupcake’s ingredients would look something like this:

- 1 cup of quiet gentleness
- 2 cups of soft purrs
- A giant dollop of pure affection

Cupcake is a soft-spoken girl who doesn't like to make a fuss. She won't demand your attention, but the moment you sit near her, she’ll gently press her head against your hand as if to say, "I'm so glad you're here."

She’s looking for a peaceful home where she can be cherished just as much as she cherishes her humans.

Classic Stripes, Unbeatable Hearts! 🐯💖

Tabby cats might be a common sight, but the love they give is anything but ordinary! Whether you’re looking for a quiet cuddle bug or a high-energy playmate, our Tabby Crew has a match for every household!

Sweet mama Willow is gentle and loving, patiently waiting for her well-deserved turn in the spotlight. Quiet souls like Cupcake enjoy peaceful moments and soft pets, while handsome adult boys Hotrod and Cruiser might take a second to warm up, but quickly blossom into complete loverboys once they know they’re safe.

If you're searching for fun-loving kitten energy, Aspen is a curious explorer who loves playing hard before curling up right next to you, while Phoenix is a playful lover girl and non-stop purr machine! And for anyone with extra room in their heart, Sarabi and her playful mini-me Shenzi are a sweet pair bringing double the tabby affection.

Bring home a classic tabby companion for a discounted $70 adoption fee during Empty The Shelters! 🐾

Please note: Not all HHS cats are participating in this event; non-participating cats are subject to standard adoption fees. If you are unsure whether a cat you are interested in is participating, please send us a message! An approved application simply means you are approved to adopt a cat from HHS and does not mean that cat is being held for you. We will not be holding any cats during this event. Please message us for more details!

“FREE APPOINTMENT” DOES NOT MEAN “NO WORK.”

Even when a spay/neuter surgery is grant-funded, TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return) takes a community. Someone still has to:

🐈 Coordinate with neighbors and establish ownership status
🐈‍⬛ Condition cats to a set feeding schedule
🐈 Set and monitor traps
🐈‍⬛ Transport cats and provide recovery space
🐈 Return cats safely and clean equipment
🐈‍⬛ Continue long-term colony care

Beyond the time involved, there are real-world logistics: traps, deposits, bait, p*e pads, gas, cleaning supplies, missed appointments, trap-shy cats, weather delays, pregnant or nursing cats, injuries, and competing colony requests.

Your colony may have 10 cats—but several other 10-cat colonies may already be ahead of it in line.

Join our HHS TNVR Workshop to learn what TNVR really requires and how residents can become active participants in humanely managing neighborhood cats, rather than waiting on a single volunteer to do every step.

📅 Date: Saturday, October 10
📝 Pre-Registration Deadline: Thursday, October 8 (No walk-ins accepted)

Always Dressed for Success! 👔

Why wear ordinary fur when you can wear a formal tuxedo every single day?

Our Tuxedo Crew is always dressed to impress, and they’re looking for an invitation to your next house party!

Fudge is a hilarious, opinionated, and loving sweetheart. Nebbiolo is a playful little menace who is sweet, lovable, and endlessly entertaining. Meanwhile, brothers Koopa and Bowser are professional shoulder parrots who crave attention and love.

Looking for an adult companion? 3-year-old Gizmo is an enormous gentle giant who wants to be the king of his solo-pet castle! And 9-year-old Ellie Mae is a senior sweetheart who just wants a warm lap for afternoon naps.

Adopt a tuxedo feline for only $70 during our Empty The Shelters event! 🥂
