Animals come into the Humane Society of Huron Valley shelter for many different reasons, but some of the most heart-wrenching transitions are when older pets need to be rehomed.

Kalley’s family lost their home due to foreclosure, and that meant that this 12-year-old tortoiseshell cat was separated from the people she had come to love. Can you imagine what that must feel like to a senior cat? She has been at HSHV for 65 days just waiting for someone to love her again.

We know that Kalley is an affectionate lap kitty who loves to crawl out unto our volunteer cat comforters' laps for attention. She really likes her chin scratched and will roll on her side and purr if you abide by her petting wishes.

Kalley lived with another cat, and, given a proper introduction, she may be fine with another feline. She could also live with children who are respectful of older cats and understand their calm nature. Since Kalley is a senior gal, she enjoys a good nap and lots of TLC.

Kalley has a bobbed tail, which we think adds to her cuteness. She is also a very good eater and not finicky at all, which may be why she is a little overweight; but with a proper diet and room to move around and explore, we think she would lose the excess weight very quickly. Even though she is consider a senior, Kalley likes to explore and play with feather toys.

HSHV is open seven days a week for adoption, so please stop in and ask for Kalley — she is waiting for you.

All pets available for adoption are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on their vaccinations, medically and behaviorally evaluated, and they have a microchip ID all included in their low adoption fee. Please make adoption your first option.
