Sheamus


Sheamus

Sheamus came to Hamilton Animal Services as a stray. No owner came forward to claim him, so Ladybird was happy to spring this sweet boy from the shelter when a loving foster home opened up. While in shelter, staff noticed that one of his front feet was a bit wonky. The had an x-ray done, which appeared to show nothing conclusive. On Sheamus’ rescue day we had the vet do another x-ray on his ankle to find out what was ‘afoot’ with his foot. Luckily it showed no fracture and they believe he may have had a puncture wound at…   read more >>

Brody


Brody

After being hit by a car, Brody was picked up by Hamilton Animal Services. They took Brody to the vet where he stayed for his stray time. No owner came forward to claim him, so shelter staff reached out to us for help. We were happy to take this poor boy in, and he was transferred to one of our affiliate vet clinics on his rescue day. X-rays revealed a slight fracture in Brody’s jaw, but it is in a spot that will likely heal without surgery. Brody is eating on his own (a great sign) and is on pain…   read more >>

Darla


Darla

Darla came into Hamilton Animal Services as a stray. She had a microchip, but when shelter staff traced the chip and called the number, the person stated that they lost Darla thirteen years ago and they assumed coyotes had gotten her. Darla’s original owner was not interested in taking her back. We’ll never know where Darla has been for those thirteen years, but if someone else had been taking care of her, that person didn’t come forward to claim her. Darla is the sweetest girl. Very friendly and loving. We got her out of the shelter and into the vet…   read more >>

Seymour


Seymour

Seymour found himself at Hamilton Animal Services as a stray. He was in rough shape when he arrived at the shelter. He was covered in fleas, had wounds all over his body, and his fur was patchy and sparse. We don’t know what poor Seymour has been through, but it seems life has not been kind to him so far. Nobody came forward to claim Seymour, and when a foster home opened up, we were happy to get this handsome boy out of the shelter. He was neutered and had a dental cleaning on his rescue day, and he did…   read more >>

Edwina


Edwina

In November 2023, Isabelle and Edwina were brought to Hamilton Animal Services as strays. These poor little kittens were terrified. They were very thin and were absolutely infested with fleas. Shelter staff treated them for the fleas and made them comfortable in their cage while they waited to be claimed. No owner came forward to claim them (how shocking), so the shelter had them spayed and put them up for adoption. Because of their shy nature, Isabelle and Edwina were passed over by any potential adopters. A shelter environment was just too stressful for them, and because they were beyond…   read more >>

Joseph Junior (aka J.J.)


J.J.

When Joseph Junior (aka J.J.) was brought into Hamilton Animal Services, he was a mess. His back leg wasn’t working, he had a large open wound on his head, he was loaded with fleas, infested with ear mites, and his whole body was covered in a soot-like substance. This poor boy had been through the wringer. Shelter staff reached out to us about J.J. and we immediately got him out of the shelter and straight to the vet. Xrays showed that J.J.’s leg issue is likely an old injury that didn’t heal property. Thankfully, he could have surgery to repair…   read more >>

Tuesday


Tuesday

On Giving Tuesday, an injured kitten was brought into Hamilton Animal Services as a stray. Her tail had been degloved, and she had an injury to her back leg. It’s not known how these injuries happened, but we are thankful that HAS reached out to us right away so we could get this kitten immediate vet care. We had received many generous donations during the day, and we decided an appropriate name for this little one would be Tuesday. Thankfully, Tuesday doesn’t have any fractures, and the injury to her leg doesn’t seem too serious. Unfortunately though, Tuesday’s tail injury…   read more >>

Arthur


Arthur Christmas

We rescued Arthur from Hamilton Animal Services where he ended up as a stray. No owner came forward to claim him, despite him being at the shelter for more than a month. While at the shelter, Arthur had blood testing done that revealed he was FIV positive. He’s not showing any symptoms of the virus though, which is great. He does, unfortunately, have a large mass on his neck that the shelter was not able to have checked out, due to financial constraints and the huge number of cats currently at the shelter. Because Arthur had two strikes against him,…   read more >>

Hitchcock


Hitch

Hitchcock (aka Hitch) was found in a barn and brought to Hamilton Animal Services. He was dragging his back let and his underside was extremely bruised. It’s not known what causes these injuries, but speculation is that he was kicked or somehow crushed. We got Hitch out of the shelter and straight to the vet. He was started on pain medication and he’ll have xrays and an ultrasound to be sure there are no internal injuries. This kitten has already been through so much in his short life, but he is still a sweet and friendly little thing. We’ll keep…   read more >>

Katsura


Katsura

Katsura ended up at Hamilton Animal Services as a stray and was not claimed. She is microchipped, but the chip was not traceable. This is your reminder to keep your pet’s microchip info up to date with the chip company! If you move or change your phone number without letting the company know, they won’t be able to contact you if your pet is lost or stolen. When Katsura arrived at the shelter, her ears were full of debris and they were very itchy. Her abdomen was distended, and her spine was prominent. Because of the overwhelming number of cats…   read more >>
