Thank you for adopting over 150 pets this week!!

Autumn is here and with it so many wonderful adoptions! It’s not too hot and not too cold the perfect weather for our pets to go home and enjoy their new lives.

Once of the lucky pets to go home this week was Loki. Loki was surrendered to us a few weeks ago after living in a home his whole life. Loki is almost 12 years old and as far as we understand it he started to get a little overwhelmed with the young children in the home. But last week a gentleman with all the time in the world for a new best friend, and no young children came in to adopt Loki. We’re glad he didn’t have to spend any unnecessary time in the shelter. Thank you to Loki’s amazing adopter.

Our longest stay Jacklyn is HOME!!

Jacklyn has been in our care since June of 2025 after her owner sadly passed away. Jacklyn is 8 years old and has only 2 teeth, and out of all the cats she came in with, Jacklyn has always been the most shy. One by one, they were adopted while Jacklyn stayed behind. After spending quite a while in a temporary foster home and then coming back to the shelter this year, we really wanted to get some more eyes on Jacklyn. We started a social media campaign, and also decided to move her from the condos where she lived by herself to the front of our building, to the quiet and calm Green Sunroom.

Out of the 7 cats she came in with, Jacklyn has been the most shy, so even though she is so fun and beautiful and loves to chat, the general public never seemed to ask about her.

But then a few weeks ago, a woman started browsing around the shelter. Her own senior cat had recently passed away, so she wasn’t sure if she was even prepared to adopt, but she still found joy being around the cats in the shelter. Then she met Jacklyn. She couldn’t stop thinking about her. One day at her own vet, she was telling a tech about her, and by some crazy coincidence the tech had previously known Jacklyn!! She told her how she was, of course, shy and nervous, but she truly believed Jacklyn would be perfect for her. So she came early this week to adopt.

She was so excited to take Jacklyn home, and because she knows just how much we’ve been rooting for Jacklyn, she has already sent us an update.

Her adopter shared the following along with some photos of them getting to know each other:

“I am so thrilled with how it’s going so far! She did spend the first couple of hours hiding in the bathroom… but this morning I put her food in the kitchen where I’ve fed my other cats in the past, and she found it really quickly after I walked away. From looking at cameras, I see that after I went to bed, she spent a few hours exploring all over.” “I gave her another Churu on a plate after breakfast today, and after that I offered her my hand, and she actually walked over and sniffed it! She probably was just hoping for another Churu, but I’m thrilled anyway. I’ll keep letting her decide when to come out and when to come to me, but I think this is such a good start! I love her already.”

Long Stay Humphrey is finally home!!

Humphrey is 8 years old and has been with us since January. Humphrey never showed kennel stress, nor was he ever overly energetic. Despite being such a sweet boy, whether it be his breed or age, people never asked about him. A few months ago, we began to amp up marketing for our sweet boy and approved him for petcations in hopes that being seen around the city would help get him some interest. Well, word got around! These girls stopped by the shelter and fell in love with the inconspicuous boy making sad eyes in the first kennel.

Thank you so much to these girls for taking Humphrey home! We also want to thank Jeff and Cary Sims for being this month’s sponsor!

This superhero has found her sidekicks!!

A few months ago LHS got a big group of girls + one boy who all came from one home. They were brave and had to overcome a lot to get to us, so we lovingly named them after superheroes. You may also remember Gamora, Hawkgirl, Superman etc. Wonder Woman went on a temporary petcation last week with a couple wanting to take a dog out for the day. The building was filled with excitement when they came back a few days after returning her from their petcation to adopt her. The day they spent together was enough for them to fall in love with Wonder Woman that they couldn’t imagine not keeping her.

Thank you so much to Wonder Woman’s new parents, and thank you to our sponsors Jeff & Cary Sims, Realtors for supporting our pets and making stories like these possible.

Mary and Laura are staying together!!

These two sisters have been through it all together. They’ve been with us for 4 months, and before that, they were keeping each other safe outside throughout their entire kittenhood. When they were found outside 4 months ago by a good Samaritan, they had a severe upper respiratory infection as well as lice. They were pretty beat up, but through treatment, they had each other. If they weren’t already bonded when we found them, after their lengthy treatments and time in foster care, they were. Even after all of their heavy treatments, they were still having a hard time with weepy eyes. So, being a bonded pair with weepy eyes, even after sharing them on social media and getting a lot of traction, they still didn’t have many people asking about them. Until last week!! After originally coming in to ask about a different cat entirely, they decided to ask about bonded pairs. Of course, our first recommendation was Mary and Laura, and with little convincing, they were on board.

They fell in love as quickly as we did and decided to take the girls home. We’re so grateful to them for asking about bonded pairs and making the decision to keep two kittens who love each other together. Thank you so much to the adopter we’re wishing you all the good luck!!
