Congratulations Bandito!
After 223 days, Bandito has finally found his forever home with Loren and Carl!One-year-old Bandito first came to the HSVC after spending time in foster care with his siblings. He was diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) shortly after returning to the shelter and was placed back into a loving foster home with foster pawrent, Chris. After completing treatment, he spent several months patiently waiting for a home before Carl and Loren came along looking for a friendly, playful adult cat.
The couple was introduced to Bandito and made aware of his medical conditions and shy personality. Our staff explained that it would take time to gain his trust. However, once that trust was achieved, Bandito would happily melt in their lap for endless cuddles. Loren and Carl weren't afraid of his FIP diagnosis and were willing to take the chance on the adorable shorthair. Thank you, Carl and Loren, for giving our sweet Bandito the loving home he deserves!
A special shoutout goes out to Bandito's foster pawrent, Chris, for giving Bandito the love and care he needed during his battle with FIP. Medical fosters are vital to the survival of high-risk animals that enter the shelter. These specialized caregivers help us fulfill our mission by giving vulnerable animals a fighting chance to reach their full potential. We are so grateful for these fantastic fosters!
Congratulations Zuko!
We are thrilled to share that after 290 days at the shelter, Zuko has been adopted by Denise. The 3-year-old Aussie Shepherd mix was surrendered to the HSVC with his friend, Scout, after their previous owner could no longer care for them. Zuko quickly became a staff favorite, but we couldn't figure out why he was having so much trouble finding a home! He is very smart, eager to learn, and the perfect adventure buddy! Denise is a long-term HSVC volunteer who had been working with Zuko for months. With his adorable personality and affinity for tennis balls, Denise couldn’t deny the chemistry the pair had. She decided she wanted to spend every day with Zuko as a forever family member. We couldn’t be happier! Congrats to this awesome pair!
