The Lonely Hearts Club

Forgotten Cats Deserve a Second Chance
Week after week they watch visitors come and go, hoping this time someone will notice them. Maybe they greet you as you walk in the front door, or perhaps they watch from behind the door or from a high perch in the next room. They are the discarded pets and the homeless strays; the forgotten cats in the
"Lonely Hearts Club."

Meet Mr. June -- Barnabus!
Barnabus is a very dashing 1-year-old black and white male. Barnabus is dressed up in his best tuxedo and he looks like he is ready to conduct a symphony. Barnabus was a stray in his previous life, but it is easy to see he is a gentleman with very refined manners for such a young guy. Barnabus would do well with the entire orchestra, or performing a solo as your only companion. Just give him the cue! |

Lonely Hearts Club Open House a Heartwarming Success
Once again, Valentine’s Day was a red letter day for the Humane Society Lonely Hearts cats, and the rest of the month was pretty special, too! The second annual Lonely Hearts Open House, which took place at the cat
shelter on February 14, was a heartwarming success. During the Open House,
three Lonely Hearts cats went to their new homes: LaToya, Paco, and
Tennessee. Tennessee's new family drove all the way from West Virginia just
to adopt him and ended up adopting a kitten as well. more info..
