Hector

Senior Cat

Hector is our own little Garfield. He’s a chonky little fella, and one might be inclined to pick him up and give him cuddles. But that’s highly discouraged!

You see, Hector’s tough life on the streets taught him to be wary of hoomans. It’s been years, and we still haven’t been able to give him pets. Vet visits are a nightmare—he won’t go willingly and needs to be trapped, and the only way to get him checked is to sedate him. 

Our efforts have paid off, though. He’s in good health and he continues to thrive in a home environment. 

We think that the street life is completely behind him, and he just wants to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, like the assurance of being fed twice a day and a several comfortable spot for napping.

Become Hector's BFF

Because Hector has very sensitive gums and is prone to dental issues, we know that he prefers to eat wet cat food and we try to give it to him as much as we can. Will you help us feed him his favorite Whiskas?

Rescue Story

Hector was a sick-looking stray cat that hung out by the garbage bins at an apartment complex. He’s very anti-social, but one day the hunger probably got too much and he decided to invite himself inside one of the units. Turns out he chose the right house, and he got himself rescued!
