The Idaho Humane Society loves working with other local animal rescue groups whenever we can! We recently received a call from Horse & Halo to help assist them after an owner passed away leaving behind many cats. We took in 17 cats of varying ages. Many are in foster care, but this cutie, Cousin Ricky, has made his way to the adoption floor!

Thank you to everyone who came together to rescue, transport and care for our feline friends. We have such a supportive and amazing animal loving community!

Meet Talia! When she stopped bearing weight on her front right leg, her family took her to the vet, and she was referred to our Public Veterinary Clinic for specialized care and financial assistance options.

Our team discovered a fracture in her leg through X-rays, and we quickly provided the surgery she needed to heal. Thanks to expert care and lots of love, Talia is now fully recovered and back home with her family, feeling better than ever!

It's been FOUR months of Walter watching the dogs around him come and go into loving homes. But, he still has high hopes that he'll find his forever home for the holidays!

Walter is affectionate, silly, loves to play fetch, snuggle and is good with sturdy kids. His previous owners described him as a loving lap dog. However, they said he tends to be protective of his food around other dogs and chases cats, so he would do best as the only pet.

Despite this, Walter is incredibly affectionate towards people. He knows a few commands and will happily show them off for some tasty treats! Walter is a sweet and goofy boy who loves to make his people happy, and can't wait to join his new family on all kinds of adventures.

Can you make his holiday wish come true?

*Good with kids
*Cuddly
*Playful
*Affectionate

Diego is a sweet kitty who can't wait to meet his new family! He was surrendered because he wasn't getting along with the other cats in the home. The previous owners said he might do best as the only animal, however he could maybe tolerate a lower energy cat that respected his space.

Diego can be shy at first but once comfortable, he is a big cuddle bug who loves spending time with his people and playing with toys...especially plastic balls and feather toys!

If you're in the market for a new cuddle buddy, head down to our adoption center to meet him tomorrow. We open at 11:00 am.

*Diego is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all vaccines.*

Typically, kitten season winds down in the fall. But this year has us rethinking that there will be a "season." We’re still seeing a tremendous influx of cats and vulnerable newborn kittens needing care and support! Thanks to our incredible donors, we can provide these vital services at no cost to anyone who finds a cat in need within Ada County. Your generosity gives these felines a second chance at life.

We urgently need your help to keep up with this unprecedented demand. If you’re able to support, we need:

✔️ Wet kitten and cat food
✔️ Dry kitten and cat food
✔️ Amazon wish list: https://amzn.to/308OiZX

Every contribution, big or small, helps save lives. Thank you for being the reason these cats and kittens can look forward to a brighter future.

Deck the halls with pet safety in mind! While the holiday season is all about joy and celebration, some of our favorite festive plants can seriously threaten our furry friends:

❅ Poinsettias: Beautiful but toxic! Keep these vibrant red plants away from your pets, as they can cause irritation, vomiting, and diarrhea.

❅ Holly: Those glossy berries might look enticing, but they can lead to stomach upset and, in severe cases, heart issues.

❅ Mistletoe: A holiday favorite, but be cautious! Ingesting mistletoe can result in gastrointestinal upset and even more severe issues.

❅ Lilies: Elegant but dangerous! Certain varieties, like Easter and Tiger lilies, are particularly toxic to cats and can lead to kidney failure.

❅ Amaryllis: Stunning, yet harmful! Ingesting any part of the amaryllis plant can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and in some cases, tremors.

❅ GUESTS: Ensure Safety and Comfort for All: Always supervise interactions between pets, children, and other guests to prevent over-excitement or fear. Young children may unintentionally overwhelm animals, so keep an eye on playtime. If the noise and activity of guests become too much, provide your pet with a quiet space or crate to retreat and relax.

Don't forget outdoor threats as well:

❅ Antifreeze and Ice Melt: Winter essentials, but deadly to pets! Keep them far from curious noses, as they can cause severe poisoning.

This sweet boy was brought to a local vet clinic as a stray and then transferred to our shelter. It didn’t take long for our vets to realize Parker’s unique needs. His constant hunger, coughing, and vomiting pointed to Megaesophagus, a condition that makes it hard for him to keep food down.

But Parker’s story took a happy turn once he was introduced to his very own special eating chair – the Bailey chair. Now, Parker can enjoy his meals and keep them down, helping him gain the much-needed weight for a healthier life!

Parker is now ready to find his happily ever after. To help his future parents understand his care, he can be fostered before adoption is finalized.

Duchess came to the Idaho Humane Society at the end of August after sustaining a femur fracture, likely from being hit by a car. She was transferred to us by a shelter in an underserved community that lacked the resources to provide her with the care she desperately needed.

Even with her injury, Duchess’s spirit remained unbroken. She looked forward to going outside to play and loved being around people. Thanks to your support and the dedication of our veterinary team, she has made a full recovery and is now ready for her forever home! Could it be yours?

This spry guy is Willie and he's ELEVEN years old! One of our matchmakers took him out of the shelter for a fun field trip day and said:

"He rides great in the car, LOVED running around and playing, knows lots of tricks and is absolutely perfect. He would make a great running or hiking buddy."

Willie is proving age is just a number--and it certainly isn't one that's slowing him down. This guy is goofy, well mannered, friendly and did we say active?

He does get super excited around other animals, to where it is unsafe for them. Therefore, he will need to be the only animal in the home.. but he is all the dog you need! He will keep you entertained and on the go.

Despite his age, Willie would be an amazing adventure buddy. Come meet this boy today; he is bound to run away with your heart!
