Not all heroes wear capes! We recently had a cat come into our shelter in desperate need of a blood transfusion. Shelter staff quickly took the cat to a local vet for emergency care. They also brought 6-year-old cats Bosco (pictured) and Frisky in hopes one would be a match as a blood donor. Frisky was not a match, but thankfully Bosco was! The cat he saved is now on the road to recovery, and Bosco is a hero in the eyes of the shelter staff and volunteers. 

Now Bosco needs a hero of his own! The handsome shorthair has been patiently waiting for someone to take him home ever since he was surrendered to the shelter in mid-July. He arrived with his friend Frisky, who is also available for adoption. Both boys are sweet, friendly cats who love to snuggle. Bosco can be a little shy at first, but he opens up to new folks quickly once he realizes ear scratches are on the table. 

As part of our Clear the Shelters adoption special, Bosco's adoption fee is just $50! Stop by the HSVC if you are ready to be his hero. He's available to meet new friends any time Monday - Saturday from 10 am - 5 pm and the shelter is located at 402 Bryant St. in Ojai.
