Hi, I'm Doris! I take my time choosing my friends, but I am affectionate and playful with those who have earned my trust. I enjoy splashing in my pool on a summer afternoon, going for walks, playing with stuffed toys, and cuddling up in cozy blankets. I like to be in charge of my environment and belongings, especially my food, but I am working on getting better at that. Because I am still a work-in-progress, however, my ideal home would be with adults only and no other pets.
For more information, visit my page https://foha.org/pet/doris/ . If you'd like to meet me, please submit an application and one of my friends will help introduce us. I am available to adopt or foster.

Hi, I'm Pop Tart! I’m curious, I love to explore, and I’ve got a quiet little spark that shines brightest in a calm and understanding home. If you’re the kind of person who appreciates a cat with a quiet presence and a gentle heart, we just might be the perfect match.

Hi, I’m Kai, a one-year-old Akita/Shepherd mix with a gentle heart and a deep love for people I trust. I may be shy at first, but once we’ve had a proper sniff and a quiet introduction, I’ll be nudging your hand for more pets and offering you my full attention. I thrive in calm, structured environments and enjoy having a job to do—whether it’s chasing a tennis ball, walking by your side, or lounging after a fun play session. I walk well on leash, I’m athletic, and I absolutely love fetch.

** NEW FACES ON THE WEBSITE **

If you haven't visited our website recently, you may have missed our newest available cats. Say hello to Dwight Schrute, Jim Halpert, Lily, Michael Scott, and Paul the Medical Manager. (more info in captions).

You can see all of our adoptable animals on our website. If you see one that might be a good fit for your family, submit an application (no obligation) or stop by the shelter between noon and 5pm on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. If you'd like to meet an animal in foster, please submit an application so we can arrange a meeting.

FOHA is a 501c3 rescue and all dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and on preventatives. Most of our animals are pulled from rural shelters to help them free up space, so every animal adopted or fostered opens a spot to save one more!

🐱 Just a reminder that our Pets of the Week, Davenport and Pringles, are still waiting to meet you! 🐶

🎉 Davenport is an adorable cross-eyed kitty who loves toys and is super playful. He's sweet and a bit sassy. He loves to be pet but will politely let you know when he wants some alone time!

🌟 Pringles is a playful and affectionate boy who does well with children and other dogs. He's been in foster care and is housebroken and good on the leash. He can be a bit skittish but warms up quickly once he feels safe.

🏡 Let's help Pringles and Davenport find the homes they deserve! Share their stories, spread the word, and let's make their dreams of a forever home come true! 🏡

Hi, I’m Davenport, the Cat of the Week! I’m a true original, inside and out. If you’re looking for personality, I’m serving it in spades. I’m looking for a cat-savvy adopter who appreciates a little sass with their sweetness and understands the importance of toy time and personal space. In return, I’ll bring endless amusement and plenty of love—on my terms, of course.

For more information, visit my page on the website, https://foha.org/pet/davenport2025/ . I am available to adopt or foster. Hope to see you soon!
