Friends made at HVARS.
Melody - 4 yrs old torti & Jangle 5 month old black short hair came from 2 different places and entered our free range room at different times.
Jangle has been a very scared kitten who came in with his siblings about 6 weeks ago, while Melody entered the room shortly after being spayed just about 2 weeks ago.
After a few days we noticed Jangles out and about more and really thriving for the first time in several weeks. Then we realized he's been hanging out with Melody who very obviously has the most motherly instinct to take him under her wing.
Melody has comforted Jangle to a point that has made this amazing bond between the two. They are now inseparable and absolutely love each other. They can be found snuggling, grooming and sleeping next to each other almost every moment.
Out of all the cats Jangle could have befriended in the room he has chosen Melody and she has chosen him back, we can't be sure for what reason but we know they must stay together now.
We are hopeful a forever family looking for a wonderful pair will come along and fall in love. They are both cat friendly, living amongst other cats now and so well.
If interested in adopting this beautiful pair, please submit an application at HVARS.org
****UPDATE- ADOPTED TOGETHER!!
Meet Suzie and Nugget!!!
These wonderfully friendly cats were recently surrendered due to unforeseen circumstances with the owner. They were absolutely loved, and well taken care of in their home! Suzie is about 7 years old and nugget is about 4 years old. Susie is the Tabico and has no tail. Nugget is the gray boy with a tip of white on his tail! They are not bonded, but really like each other a lot! We would love to see them in a home together if possible.
If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application at HVARS.org
Ok black kitty lovers! Meet Reed! If you went to Beans Cat Cafe in Beacon, within the past few months, you may have met him. He is a wonderfully sweet, 3 year old lap kitty. He enjoys his human company, but does not enjoy other cats that much. He would be OK with one other kitty, but multiple cats would not be great for him. He likes to be picked up, but his favorite pastime is sleeping on your lap!
Reed was adopted as a kitten into a home that was stressful for him, and he developed urinary crystals. His owner returned him, and once he was on a special diet, he has had no issues.
If you are interested in meeting Reed, please fill out an application on our website: HVARS.org. If you can tell, by the video, he is currently not at the rescue, and an appointment will have to be made to meet him.
***UPDATE-ADOPTED!!!!
This pair of kitties came to us yesterday from a local real estate agent. When she went to look at her new listing, she found these 2 sweet kitties abandoned. The muted calico in Mini (2) and her son is Dumpling (1). We would love for them to go to a home together!
If you are able to give them a forever home, please fill out an application at HVARS.org
Attention all adult cat lovers‼️🐾
Our free range room is currently loaded with adult cats who have been overlooked time and time again because they are a little more scared than others. If you know anything about cats, you know they always do things at their own pace 😆
Majority of the adult cats we get in are local strays, that come in borderline feral and take way longer to trust people than an outgoing, friendly kitten does. These cats are sweet, cuddly, and very loving if given the time to show it! When adopting, please be open minded and know that just because a kitty isn’t overly affectionate immediately; that doesn’t mean they’ll be like that forever. A lot of cats just need extra time and extra love to open up all the way.
Listed are the cats as shown:
-BAGHEERA : brown tiger, female, 4yrs old, arrival date : 7/16/22
-FLOWER: grey/white, female, 9yrs old, arrival date : 5/1/22
-OTTO: black/white, male, 7 months old, arrival date: 12/13/22
-ASHLEY: black, female, 8 months old, arrival date: 4/30/22
-TATIANA : grey/white, female, 6 months old, arrival date: 8/10/22
-NAPIER: black(with red collar), male, 3yrs old, arrival date: 3/10/22
-LIZA : grey, female, 2yrs old, arrival date: 11/25/22
-PEANUT: grey tabby, female, 3yrs old, arrival date : 10/25/21
If you have any questions about any of these cats shown, email us at [email protected]
1 year old Marvin wants to say Happy Holidays!
This young male kitty is neutered, up to today on vaccines, negative for FIV FeLV and microchipped. He is ready for adoption and looking for the perfect family!
If you are interested in meeting him, can you fill out an application and HVARS.org
Meet Charmin!!!
Charmin was has been with us for several months now. Charmin is about 4- 5 years old. She was adopted as a kitten and returned when her owner was unable to move with her. She grew up with another cat, who was also returned, but adopted. This is not about her prior adopter, this is about finding Charmin a forever home!
Charmin was at the cat cafe in Beacon for a few months, but was overwhelmed there. We are in a tough spot with her because she gets overwhelmed with too many other cats, but also does not like being in a cage.
In her own space, Charmin is VERY sweet and affectionate. She loves a lap and likes to be picked up. She would do well in a house alone or with 1 other kitty.
If you are interested in meeting her, please fill out an application at hvars.org
Please share her story!
Update! Adopted together!!!
Meet Smokey & Bandit!***

***Meet Norman!!!***
Norman is about 6 years old and was abandoned in Yonkers when his owners moved out. He is FIV positive but is cat friendly so he can live safely with other cats! Norman is not a fan of dogs. He is a great cat! Is is a big boy and would love a place to call his own!!

Meet Splash!!!!
Splash is in search of the perfect home! She is wonderfully sweet! She loves pets! She recently had surgery to remove bladder stones. She will need a special diet to prevent a reoccurrence.

New dog alert ‼️‼️
This is the “S” group, and they’re all finally available for adoption!
These 7 pups came to us from South Carolina where they were all living in a very small, outdoor kennel together.
These pups all are around 1-2yrs old medium sized dogs.
They’ll be posted individually very shortly, so keep an eye out!
Baloo is a very sweet 1 1/2 year old neutered male kitty looking for his perfect home! He is very sweet and loving, but will take time to adjust to a new environment. He is t a fan of other cats, but will be ok with a proper SLOW introduction.
Baloo needs a quiet environment and would be most comfortable in a home without young kids.
If you are interested in meeting him, please fill out an application at www.hvars.org.
Mumford is STILL available for adoption 😢🥺
Mumford came to us all the way back in December when he was just 3 months old and is still in search of his forever home.
Mumford is BOTH cat and dog friendly and he is the sweetest boy on the planet. He’s VERY food motivated (as you can tell), which makes training that much easier! He’s very smart, and a super quick learner. If you or anyone you know is looking to adopt a dog, please consider adopting Mumford! He’s lived in a shelter his entire life, and he can’t wait to get out and have a family of his own.
✨If you are interested, fill out an application on our website, hvars.org ✨
Hope you had as good of a Wednesday as all these pups did with their new toys!! 🐶🧸

As some of you may know, we have a bunch of farm animals. These 2 ducks were dumped on the side of the road near our place right at dark a few weeks back. They were bound to be coyote food but luckily they got scooped up by a friend who’s brought them to HVARS.
These 2 love their nightly dried mealworms with dinner. They can be purchased at any local feed store or online, would anyone be willing to send these 2 some worms?! They’re almost out!!
Ship to

If you would rather PayPal us, you can just put in the memo “for the ducks”
Thank you!
