Onyx

Onyx is a young cat who does not like being in a cage. This young cat is going to get into mischief, so he will need to be kept busy with playtime and vertical spaces he can safely explore.

Onyx was transferred to another shelter and was adopted.

Justin

Justin is a beautiful teenage kitten who came in with his siblings as a feral. He was the most shy of the group but he’s learned not only to trust people but to come running for affection. His brother Jason recently headed to Portland to find his forever home and Justin might be missing him a little bit. He was not ready to make that trip at the time. Since on his own, he has become more self-confident. He’s been neutered and he’s up to date on everything. He will need a bit of patience at first, but he’s a clean, affectionate kitty. Call 999-1075 to make an appointment to meet Justin.

Justin was transferred to the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland and was adopted.

Crackers

This longhair beauty is a spayed female, about 7 years old. She came in with her friend Peanut, who left for Portland recently. We don’t think Crackers misses Peanut, in fact, we think Crackers is quite happy being solo. She’s in with young Justin but Crackers is definitely the boss. Crackers loves to be up high and have the window seat; she loves attention from people. If you’d like to meet Crackers, please call to make an appointment 999-1075.

Crackers was transferred to the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland and was adopted.

Shadow

Shadow is the most mellow, get-along-with-everyone cat we’ve seen in a long time. He came to HHPR because of a chronic constipation issue and being overweight. After some medical intervention and a change in diet, this guy is on the path to a long life. He spent several weeks in foster care so that his regime could be monitored. He’s been at our Adoption Center for several weeks in a room loose with other cats. He loves everybody. Recently he went on a field trip to the Caribou Public Library where he was among a class of third graders and other cats he’d never met. He was right at home.

The volunteers all love this guy but none are able to adopt him. Shadow will do well in any home as long as they can keep him on his diet and have the financial means to provide medical treatment should it become needed again.

Shadow was finally adopted to a Caribou family and is doing great. His new family includes 2 dogs and a cat.

Cosmo

Young Cosmo is a very playful teenage kitten who came from a feral situation. He and his sister have taken a bit longer to socialize but now Cosmo is ready for a forever home. He’s a smart, precocious guy who will steal your heart. Cosmo has already been neutered and is up to date on everything. He loves to climb and have a window.

Update: Cosmo was transferred to the ARLGP and was adopted! He’s being spoiled.

Special (“Spec”)

Spec is a special girl. She came from a hoarding environment and had some rough days in her early time with HHPR. She was about a year old when she came to us in June 2014. It took several weeks for her to recuperate physically and emotionally from her past. She has settled in to life at our adoption facility and enjoys some freedom in one of our rooms with a window to an outside pen. Spec babysits the feral kittens and has warmed up nicely to everyone. She can be a bit shy when she first meets you, but that quickly passes.

Tessa

This young female calico came to HHPR with a litter of kittens when she was just a kitten herself. She was a good mother to her 5 babies. Some of them were born without tails! They had a tough life but the kittens have been adopted, Tessa has been spayed and she has been at our adoption facility for a several weeks. Tessa is very playful – she’s picked up where she left off before she became pregnant. She loves to be with people and sit on shoulders!

Update: Tessa chose her forever family and is the queen of the household.

Georgie

Georgie is a character. She’s got to be with people and participate in everything – including the conversation. This is not dull companionship. The more you get to know Georgie, the more you’ll realize how special she is. Georgie has learned to get along with other cats and has even become familiar with a service dog who comes to the Center with a volunteer. Georgie has come a long way and has earned the affection of all the HHPR volunteers. She now enjoys being held and will tell you when she’s had enough. If you don’t pay attention to her signals, she will yell quite plainly that you need to listen!

Georgie was finally adopted to a retired person in Caribou.
