Howard's Story

HOWARD is a 5-year-old boy with a big personality who is looking for an experienced cat owner to understand him. He can be protective over his space and belongings, so having all his essentials and a consistent, calm environment will help him feel safe and secure. Howard is truly special and sweet. He has already shown great progress and growing trust in a short amount of time. He loves to be petted and be given attention once he is comfortable. While he seems to enjoy other cats, he may do best as the only pet in a home. With patience and understanding, Howard can form a strong, deeply rewarding bond with his person.

The pet you have chosen must fit within any weight and requirements your landlord or community may have, including breed restrictions. (Remember, puppies get bigger!) If you already own animals, they must be up to date on their core vaccines, including but not limited to rabies and other current preventions. We also perform meet & greets between all dogs and family members in the household. If a cat is present in the home, we must perform an in-shelter ‘cat test. Although Marion County has no law limiting the number of pets allowed in a home, HSMC will not adopt more than two domestic animals at once and will not adopt to a household that already owns seven or more domestic pets. You must provide a current driver’s license or state-issued identification. You cannot currently be in violation of the animal control ordinance, and you cannot have had any serious animal control ordinance violations in the past. If you are currently enrolled or have been participating in our Happy Paws food program for the past six months, you would not be eligible for adoption. If you are currently enrolled in our community service program (and haven’t completed all hours), you would not be eligible for adoption. REQUIRED VACCINES RABIES DAPP/DAPP2/DHPP BORDETELLA <6 MONTHS MUST HAVE PARVO TESTING >6 MONTHS MUST HAVE HEARTWORM TESTING OR 6 MONTHS OF PREVENTATIVE VACCINES NO MORE THAN 90 DAYS PAST DUE MUST BE CURRENT BEFORE ADOPTION.
