Hugh

Sometimes older cats get overlooked, but they can make the best pets!  Hugh came to us as a stray but he was definitely someone’s house cat once.  He is estimated to be around 12 years old and weighs 10 pounds.  He loves everyone and has perfect manners.  His favorite activities are laying in the sunshine and snuggling.  He is so attached to humans that he would prefer not to have other pets around, but he is also the kind of cat who is fine when left to his own amusements.  Hugh’s blood test shows signs of kidney disease like many older cats, but at this time his condition can be managed with diet and he isn’t showing any symptoms.  Hugh has a big personality and he loves to talk–he will run to the door to greet you when you come home and will want to know all about your day.

If you are interested in adopting Hugh, or any of our other available pets, please visit the adopt page at www.dcspca.org. To meet one of our pets, you must have an approved adoption application on file. Those with approved applications can visit the shelter Wednesday through Sunday from 12pm to 5pm.
