Felicity

Felicity was not impressed with the cardboard box she was riding in for
the trip home. We hadn't made it halfway when suddenly a paw with claws
extended started to tear at one of the air holes. Then there was also a
nose, then half a head, and then rip, thru the hole she emerged! She
alternated between my lap and sprawled across the leather backseat the
rest of the way home.
She seems to be content with staying inside, so for now at least, she
will be an indoor cat. I feel this is best since she is so little and
so trusting. She is just the sweetest thing, I am very happy I found
her online! She enjoys sleeping on the leather computer chair (she has
a thing for leather it seems) and at night she sleeps on my bed with me.
She likes to follow my son and I around, and speaks to us in her little
cat voice.
For the first few days she was desperate for attention. If she saw a
free hand, she insisted that it be petting her. Now she has mellowed
and is quite comfortable with us and the new surroundings.
For entertainment, she spends a lot of time in the sunroom looking out
the window at the birds that come to the feeders that hang outside. She
also hides under the fern by one of the windows so they can't see her.
She is going for her free visit to Dr. Roy on the 4th to get acquainted.
Fortunately I now have a regular at carrier for transport, so there
will be no more busting out!
Thanks so much for taking such good care of her while she was there, and
for allowing me to adopt her.

Molly and Owner

Its only been recently that Molly and I have found each other. I got my very
first apartment, and I needed a companion animal because i suffer from
anxiety and panic attacks. Molly was the cat that reached out to me. she was
in a cage because of her fear of other cats and the dogs barking. and i will
tell you that she instantly stole my heart.
Molly's first night was a little rough. she was scared because i live right
next to the road and the lady next door has a rather small dog that
sometimes barks. But she's gotten used to it very quickly. as you can see
from the pictures below Molly is happy and safe in her new home. she has
lots of (human) friends that just adore her. Pretty much people ignore me
now because she steals the show.
Molly has become very talkative, and outgoing, and i dare say that she's
even gained a little weight over the past month that i have had her. I just
want to say thanks to CVHS for bringing me and my best friend together.
Molly says hello too..

Precious and her owner

Precious was adopted back in 2006. She is a young girl, with lots of love to give everyone. She mastered her obedience class (which was given to her as a Christmas present), and continues to amaze her new family. THANK YOU PRECIOUS!!

Boodah

Boodah was the first dog I fostered for CVHS. He was a tough little scared puppy of 4 months who had never been around people. Within a week, I realized his stay with me was not going to be temporary. He had already become part of our pack.


Boodah passed away about a year ago now, but in the five years we had him, he brought us more joy and wisdom than we could have ever imagined. His was not an easy life ... but despite the many hardships he indured, in the end, he was a wise soul masquerading as a big black goobery ball of love, oh...and three-time undisputed howling champion of the Stephen Huneck dog parties!


It's because of what Boodah taught me about believing in second chances, about finding hope where you thought there was none to be found, that led me back to CVHS where I had gotten him. In his memory, I rededicated myself to helping animals like him by joining the board of CVHS. My work with CVHS is a constant reminder of the joy Boodah brought into my life, and the joy all of us at CVHS can help to bring into the lives of others by offering to create new human-animal partnerships.
