Hoju (in foster)'s Story

Meet Hoju, a fairly large 5-year-old boy with a good sense of his boundaries. He has always lived indoors but likes to go outside in a supervised way occasionally. He came to the shelter as a surrender when his family had to move and was unable to take him; so, he's looking to land in a nice secure situation. His previous family reported that he is an independent, yet still interactive cat, and that he loves chasing little toys. Because he's a bit shy, a quiet household without kids or pets would be his preference (though he has lived with a toddler in the past and did fine). He was not into the hustle and bustle of shelter life, so staff moved him into a foster home. He is much more at ease in a home environment and slowly but surely is coming out of his shell. <br/><br/>Hoju has been living in a foster home. Here is what they have to say about him: "Hoju is a nervous boy who warms up quickly to new people (treats can help speed up this process!), and once he is comfortable, he will be your best friend. He's very chatty, especially around breakfast and dinner, and wherever you go he will follow you, rubbing and headbutting against your legs and meowing. He likes sitting next to you on the couch and sometimes cuddling in your lap. He's a funny cat with some playful quirks, like chasing his own tail or jumping at the wall. He's very good and rarely jumps on counters or tables, has never knocked anything over."<br/><br/>If you'd like to meet Hoju, we can arrange that for you. Contact the shelter Tue-Sun 11-5.

If we feel you are a great match for an animal you have applied for, we will reach out to you regarding the next steps to adoption. • If you're interested in a pet: Visit our website and fill out an application. We will send an auto-reply email with what to expect and be in touch if we will be moving forward in the process with you. Please be patient and understand response times are currently a bit lengthy. We cannot expedite the process if you call and email to follow up. * Dogs can have meet-and-greets and dog-to-dog meetings, however, we are unable to do so with cats. Kittens and puppies are not eligible for the 7-day foster-to-adopt trial periods, but adult cats and dogs are. Trials are at the discretion of staff. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Check out adoptable dogs and cats on our website: spcasc.org • Complete the "Adoption Profile" Once you’ve found a well-matched furry friend, please complete our Adoption Profile form on our website.

We facilitate dog-to-dog introductions outside our main shelter, on leash. For your own dog’s safety, we ask that you do not bring him or her into the shelter. If we move forward with your application and you apply for a dog and already have one, you will be asked to bring your current dog to meet your new potential dog to do a meet-and-greet.
