Watching you like a hawk. Or, like a cat?

Before I began working at Humane Society, I was definitely a self-identified “dog person”. I certainly never imagined that I would eventually own a cat, but I fell head over heels in love with her. My work at the shelter required me to start spending lots of time with cats in the kitten room. This involved many late nights spent in the cat room, opening cages and getting to know our feline residents. I began to see that each cat had such an individual personality — some who would hop right onto your shoulder, some who made adorable chirping sounds, some who were shy, but so sweet, and some who were true punks. I was falling in love with my cat Lily everyday. First, I’ve always considered myself as a dog person because I have never had the opportunity to truly appreciate cats. I opened my heart and my mind, my cat Lily brings me more joy and happiness than I would ever expect! Shelter Needs: The shelter is desperately in need of dry cat and kitten food (no dyes please) and canned pate cat and kitten food. We are also seeking donations of Snuggle Safe heat pads, miracle nipples, durable dog toys, and cat toys.  Please visit my favorite Hunane Society Shelter @ www.HSOTC.org or your local Humane Society to help an animal in need.
