Sweet Success: Mr. Puff!

Written by Shelby W, loving adopter

“I actually started working with BHS in August. I wasn’t really looking for another kitty but it is hard not to fall in love with some of them! Not too long after I started, Mr. Puff showed up with a litter of kitties. He was shy and scared of the new environment. I loved seeing him and watching him grow. He was there so much longer than I expected him to be! But obviously he was meant to join my family. He went to free roam and we instantly bonded. I knew it was time for me to take him home! Thank you BHS!”

We are so glad that Mr. Puff has found a happy home!

Volunteer Spotlight: Sue Anderson

sue-and-kittenwolverinedog-wash-dayEvery person and every animal loves Sue! Whether they have met her or not, Sue has influenced their lives in some way. Congratulations on seven years and 2,000 lifetime volunteer hours!! You’re absolutely amazing!

“She is always so happy and caring for all the cats. She stays in tune with who is who and their stories. When I worked in cat adoptions, she would always ask how specific cats were doing and see if they finally found a home. She can make even the most timid cats look adorable and happy in their photos! She goes above and beyond to buy seasonal props too which are always adorable!” – Taylor Foster (She said it, but we all thought it!)

Sweet Success: Sherlock and Watson!

Written by Racheal B., loving adopter

“My boyfriend and I have adopted two cats from Butte Humane Society, and our little family is a definite success to us!

When we adopted our first cat Sherlock, a one-year-old male tabby (he was already named Sherlock and we loved it), he had just been returned to BHS because he wasn’t cuddly. We adopted him knowing that he wasn’t lap cat material, and we have respected that. But since coming to live with us, he has been sleeping at our feet at night, rubbing his face on us, and walking us to his food bowl each morning. He is a tough guy, but he’s a marshmallow in secret, and he loves showing off to company and playing in the bath!

A year after adopting Sherlock, we got him a friend, Watson, who was part of a litter of black kittens at BHS. Watson is the opposite of Sherlock in that he loves to snuggle and be carried around and vocalize his feelings. We also share a mutual love of bacon!

In the two years they’ve been together, Sherlock and Watson have basically turned out just like their literary counterparts, and we all couldn’t be happier. BHS really facilitated our little fur family, and for that we are grateful!”

We are so glad that Sherlock and Watson found their homes, and thankful for the love their new owners have shown!

Sweet Success: Timon!

“When my boyfriend and I first saw Timon in the shelter we fell in love with his energetic personality and his love to play. We could tell he loves being in a house where he can run freely and let out all of his energy. He has six human brothers and caring parents who play with him a lot and give him love. He likes to stare out windows, talk to the neighborhood cats, do parkour off of the couches and play on the bed sheets when we make the bed. We are so lucky to have him in our lives!”

We are so happy that Timone found his forever home and is so loved by his new owners!
