Meet Hurricane!

Hurricane is a beautiful four-year-old cat and one of our longest-stay residents, patiently waiting for the loving home she deserves. She came to us as an owner surrender when her family moved and couldn’t take her along, and while change was hard at first, Hurricane has been quietly blossoming ever since.

This sweet girl is shy and feels most comfortable in her cozy, safe spots—but with time and trust, her gentle personality shines through. Hurricane has discovered a love for treats and has recently started sitting at the feet of staff and volunteers, politely asking for attention. It’s a small moment that feels like a big victory for her, and we’re so proud of the progress she’s making.

Hurricane is still building her confidence and isn’t much of a player yet, but she’s moving forward at her own pace. She would thrive in a calm, patient home where she can continue to settle in and let her sweet nature unfold.

Could Hurricane be the quiet companion you’ve been waiting for? Please fill out an application: https://ow.ly/zisO50VVXlW. All of our animals are altered, microchipped and up to date on all vaccines before being made available for adoption.

Please read our adoption guidelines and start your application before coming to meet one of our animals in person. A typical adoption can take up to an hour. Please visit at least one hour before closing if you plan to adopt that day.
