Two cats, one home, 5 years apart

I first came to the HSHV in October of 2003, to find a companion cat to keep my first cat company while I was starting grad school. Maggie (formerly Maggie) was a beautiful dilute calico who caught my eye right away. She was so depressed, though, she didn't want to walk--I had to speak to the vet to find out that she was capable of walking, she just didn't want to. I took her home, and after a month or so of wariness she suddenly became the snuggle-hungry kitty I know today. I couldn't have picked a more lap-loving cat to bring home. She's still with me today and I can count on her to snuggle with me every night (but she's very camera shy so she's not pictured!)


Exactly 5 years later, my husband and I were perusing PetFinder online and I stumbled across a picture of Houdini--an orange cat. My husband had grown up with an orange cat named Houdini, so we stopped in to take a look. He was 8 months old and given the name because he'd escaped out of his cage inside HSHV after being caught in a live trap. Although he was wary, he couldn't help himself when we played with him with a rainbow mouse that was in his cage. After touring other cats, we came back to him and found him curled around the toy as he took a nap. Well, it was love. We took him home and while he was nervous and shy at first (he loved to hide in the bathtub), he soon came out of his shell and today he's a very talkative, loveable cat, who still will curl up around his favorite toy while he naps (and carries it around, hopeful for playtime, the rest of the day!).


We could not have asked for such wonderful cats to make up our family, and thanks to you all at the Humane Society of Huron Valley for making it possible!
