Cleo

Cleo

* Burger and Cleo have been adopted by their foster family! Yay! * Burger, Cleo, Ivy and Poppy were brought into Hamilton Animal Services as strays. They were quite sick when they arrived, and had severe diarrhea. The shelter reached out to us for help, and we were able to pick these wee ones up and get them straight to the vet for treatment. Medication and special food were prescribed, and thankfully a foster home stepped up to take in the little litter. Fostering poopy kittens is a lot of work, and we’re so grateful for our foster families who…   read more >>

Saltine

Saltine

* Saltine has been adopted by her foster mom! Yippee! * Saltine was brought to Hamilton Animal Services after being found outside. No owner came forward to claim him, and we were happy to get him out of the shelter and into a foster home when one opened up. Saltine had a health check at the vet on his rescue day, and other than a cataract in one eye, he is a healthy hamster. There’s no treatment needed for the cataract, but his adopters would need to be aware that he is blind in that eye. Saltine is now settling…   read more >>

She spent just over a month at the shelter, and when a foster home opened up we were happy to bring her into our care. Brooklyn told us how very happy she was to be out of a cage by doing lots of stretching, head bonking and rolling. Such a sweet kitty! We got Brooklyn into the vet on her rescue day, and she received a clean bill of health. She was spayed a…   read more >>

Pumpkin

Pumpkin

* Pumpkin has been adopted by his foster family! Yay! * Pumpkin ended up at Hamilton Animal Services when his owner passed away. When he arrived to the shelter, he was suffering from en eye issue called entropion, which is a condition in where a portion of the eyelid is inverted or folded inward against the eyeball. On top of that, Pumpkin tested positive for FIV. Between those two issues, and the number of cats at the shelter at a critical level, Pumpkin’s chances of getting out of the shelter alive were slim. Thankfully, a foster home opened up and…   read more >>

Margarita

Margarita

* Margarita and Avocado found their forever home together with wonderful people! Woo hoo! * Guacamole, Agave, Margarita, and Avocado were rescued from Hamilton Animal Services. They all arrived at the shelter as strays at different times and were not claimed. We were happy to get all four birds out of the shelter and into a loving foster home. They’ve been put together in a large cage, and they’re very happy to have each other for company. In the wild, budgies live and migrate in large flocks, so a single budgie can get quite lonely. These lovely birds were given…   read more >>

Katsura

Katsura

Katsura ended up at Hamilton Animal Services as a stray and was not claimed. She is microchipped, but the chip was not traceable. This is your reminder to keep your pet’s microchip info up to date with the chip company! If you move or change your phone number without letting the company know, they won’t be able to contact you if your pet is lost or stolen. When Katsura arrived at the shelter, her ears were full of debris and they were very itchy. Her abdomen was distended, and her spine was prominent. Because of the overwhelming number of cats…   read more >>

Rupert

Rupert

*Rupert has been adopted by his foster family! Woo hoo! * Rupert and his guinea pig companion were “found” in Hamilton, and their finder brought them to a local pet supply store to get help. Unfortunately, Rupert’s companion passed away by the time Hamilton Animal Services was called to pick them up. At the shelter, poor Rupert was terrified. Who knows what trauma he had gone through before being dumped, only then to go through the heartache of losing his friend, and then ending up all alone at a noisy shelter. We were so happy that an experienced foster family…   read more >>

Gracie

Gracie @ foster

* Gracie found her forever home with lovely people! Yay! * Gracie came into Hamilton Animal Services as a stray and was not claimed. Shelter staff found out that her previous owner had given her away, so it was the new owners who hadn’t claimed her. Gracie’s previous owner gave the shelter Gracie’s name, her approximate age (12), and explained that Gracie’s eye had been removed because of injuries caused by another dog. We don’t know any of the circumstances beyond that. When Gracie arrived at the shelter, she was matted, she was covered in lumps and bumps, her teeth…   read more >>

Please send all your love and well wishes to Tina and Tammy. More updates coming soon. July 15th UPDATE! Tammy made it through the night! We’re so happy! She’s still not eating on her own, but…   read more >>

* Aristotle and Plato have been adopted by their foster family! Yay! * Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates were found under a porch and brought to Hamilton Animal Services.

Patton

Patton

* After four happy years as a permanent resident, sweet Patton passed away in the loving arms of his forever foster family. When his physical and cognitive health issues got to be too much, Patton told his family he was ready, and they loved him right until the end. We want to thank Patton’s forever foster family for taking such great care of this little guy for so long. We know it wasn’t always easy, but we know he would have thanked you himself if he could. Rest in peace, sweet Patton. We’ll never forget your adorable face. Because of…   read more >>

Tulin

* Tulin found her forever home with lovely people! Yay! * Tulin came into Hamilton Animal Services as a stray and was not claimed. We were happy to get this beautiful bird out of the shelter and into a foster home. At her vet visit, she was given a clean bill of health and DNA sample was taken to find out her gender.
