Happy Tails

ALI, NOW PURROW
Adorable kitty Ali was transferred to our Healdsburg shelter from the Astro Foundation, a partner shelter in Oakdale, CA. When she arrived she was a little on the shy side, but it didn’t take long before this beautiful green eyed girl gained confidence, and got adopted!
Kristen had recently lost her 19 year old cat, and really wanted to find the right companion for her 7 year old kitty Weezie, who was now in need of a playmate. It was Ali’s little mustache that caught Kristen’s attention, and Ali’s description fit what she was looking for in a kitty, so that afternoon she drove to the shelter to meet this little sweetheart. It was love at first sight. Kristen adopted Ali that very day, and recently sent us this update, “I was told she was shy - she hid for the first week at the shelter, but once comfortable, was quite people oriented! As expected, she was shy at home, but if I put my hand under the chair where she hid, she’d rest her cheek against it. If my boyfriend or I laid on the floor, she’d come up on our chests. Within a week she became confident enough to explore the house, eventually not needing to retreat to her hiding spot. We changed her name to ‘Purrow’ - a play on the mustachioed Agatha Christie character Inspector Poirot.
It took a few weeks for Weezie to accept her, but now they are partners in crime. They love snuggling with us and getting cheek scratches. Purrow sits in my lap every night when I watch TV, and she cuddles with us in bed. She’s spunky and full of character! Her meows are laughably expressive and she sits with her paws crossed. I often find an array of cat toys that she has pulled out of the baskets, and I’m happy to see Weezie join in on playtime. I can’t wait to see how Purrow reacts to her first 10 foot Christmas tree with us! My boyfriend often comments that I chose the perfect cat.”

DOT DOT, NOW MR. DOT DOT
Dot Dot is one lucky rabbit. This sweet guy got a new chance at a forever home when he was surrendered to our care. He was a little bit shy at the shelter, but he was friendly and very cute. When Megan, his adopter, came to HSSC to meet him, it was a done deal. Dot Dot’s adorable face won her over, and he was off to new adventures!
We were so happy to hear from Megan with this update: “Mr. Dot Dot is loving his new place. He’s so playful, loving, and curious. When we first met Mr. Dot Dot, he was pretty shy and did not like being picked up. But once you picked him up, he loved to sit on your lap for some pets. Since we’ve brought him home, he has really broken out of his shell. He’s a master at flopping. Loves to run and jump around. Also will lick your face to say hello. Mr.Dot Dot is one of the sweetest rabbits. Everyone who’s ever met him has fallen in love with him. We want to say thank you to the people of The Humane Society of Sonoma County for allowing us to adopt Mr. Dot Dot. We are so happy Mr. Dot Dot is a part of our family.”
