4. Figgie
Senior · Female · Domestic Long Hair / Mixed · 93 mi from La Crosse




Sweet Figgie is a lovely senior girl who is looking for a home to live comfortably in her golden years. Figgie has hyperthyroidism, and is showing signs of early kidney failure. Figgie's foster home has this to say about her: "Figgie is a very sweet, spirited girl. She loves people and would do anything to sit on your lap and get pets. She can be very demanding - she has no problem getting vocal to let you know she's ready for attention. She likes her face and cheeks rubbed, she's unbelievably soft - like a plush toy. I think her estimated age was 16 years? I actually can't believe that, she's more active than one of my cats who is 12! So definitely lots of life left in her despite her age.

She is not a big fan of my other cats and would possibly do better somewhere where she can be the star of the show :) She'll follow us around constantly, she's definitely a little clingy and would benefit from having someone who can give her LOTS of attention. She is a wonderful companion." --- Figgie is a 16-year-old long-hair female. Her adoption fee is waived! If you are interested in adopting a cat from HSPC, please complete our adoption application.

7. Tigerclaw
Senior · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 93 mi from La Crosse




Tigerclaw is a curious, chatty guy who would love a home to explore and snuggle, where he can be with other FeLV+ kitties, or by himself. Tigerclaw loves to be held and will snuggle right up against your chest and lay there for as long as you'll let him! Tigerclaw may do well with other kitties, however Tigerclaw is positive for FeLV and would need to go to a home without other kitties, or with cats who are also positive for FeLV. FeLV can be passed from cat to cat through saliva, so any mutual grooming, nose to nose contact, and shared water bowls can become sources of infection. It cannot be transmitted to people.
