our sweet girl is doing so well after being adopted from HSSV! she’s living her best life and so glad she is acclimating well to our home! bailey (boggle - shelter name) is coming out of her shell little by little. thanks to the humane society for making their adoption process very thorough and giving us puppy tips!

tomorrow will be our one week anniversary of adopting out first kitten from the hssv (and our first kitten in general)! the adoption process was so seamless and a lot simpler than expected. Gretchen was super helpful and informative in letting us see all the kittens and had an amazing attitude that made it all the more enjoyable. And to Michelle who helped us with the paperwork process, thank you for making it and seamless and cracking jokes with us! she made the experience memorable and fun.

our kitten came to us in good health and well taken care of. they gave me all of his medical records from foster care to the most updated and let us know what his next vaccines are. they also set us up with pet insurance which i am grateful for, it was such an easy process.

i am happy to report that our kitty (previously named grady) has been adjusting very well and is so happy. he was definitely the best choice for us and i would definitely adopt through the hssv again!

We have had two great experiences with this facility. Our sweet puppy was adopted here a few years ago. She was healthy and clean when we got her. The staff was friendly and helpful. The shelter is clean and the furry friends are all well cared for. Currently we are fostering kittens for the shelter. It’s our first time fostering. Its been a great experience for the whole family, especially our teens- they learned how to syringe feed seven week old kittens. Its taught them a lot of responsibility. The volunteers involved in fostering are helpful and they have free back up for non-emergency or emergency issues. The vets and vet techs have been kind and grateful that we are fostering. The food and litter is supplied. They even have some toys. I did buy a cheap large litter box. And our teens can log some volunteer hours too. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about our visit to the Humane Society Silicon Valley. First, this is a lovely site - really well maintained and areas for animals to play indoors and outdoors - just a great facility. We came in looking for a kitty, and were assisted by a really helpful and kind man (unfortunately, we forgot to get his name!). Turns out we went in looking for one kitty and left with two, as two brothers claimed us 🙂 Everyone was so friendly and made the adoption process a really wonderful experience we won't forget. Thank you all!

We wanted to provide HSSV with an update on Mochi's progress since bringing him to his forever home. Mochi is just as sweet as described, enjoying exploring his new surroundings and staying close to his humans. He adores watching and listening to the birds in the backyard, and when tired, he prefers napping on the biggest bed in the house. Here are some pictures of mochi that we're excited to show you.

This is my second adoption through HSSV, and I have been happy with their service and care for animals. Thank you so much for allowing us to give Mochi a loving home.

I came to this location a few weeks ago with a possible lost cat to get it checked for a microchip. They did in fact check the cat for one, which he did not, but were incredibly unhelpful afterwards. The young lady who initially helped us out and gave us a carrier box to put the cat in, and was the one who checked for a chip, was very nice and accommodating. It was her supervisor, an older woman, that we had an issue with. We were trying to explain to her our situation and why we decided to take the cat with us but she shut us down completely. Not listening to what we had to say at all. Completely dismissing the fact that we told her that the collar we had on the cat was one that WE had put on him and not one that was on him when we found him initially. Telling us that we basically kidnapped someone’s cat and to put him back where we found him. Mind you, during this time there was terrible weather out and the following days after. Which is the reason why we took him in in the first place, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to find shelter or go back to a possible owner. We thought it was the right thing to do, but apparently to this woman, it wasn’t. We also came here with hopes that they could help us try and find an owner, check if anyone has been looking for a lost cat, all of that but did not do that at all. We were only told to post about having found the cat on different forums like “PawBoost” and so on, which we did immediately and still have yet to hear back from anyone. We have grown incredibly fond of the little guy and will be considering adopting him if no one comes around.

I cannot say enough about them, I had to take my 12 year old cat in to be put to sleep. It was a great experience under the circumstances. They were very welcoming, explained everything to me i wish i could remember the ladies name that did the procedure but she was awesome. They really took the time with me and then afterword's let me spend some time with her. They also took her blanket and stuffy to cremate her with. Again I want to thank them so much for the care and comparison they showed in my situation.

I just adopted my little guy on Sunday, February 18th! I was not expecting to meet him, but after some encouragement from the helpful staff who thought he would be perfect for me to meet, I agreed to meet him! He was formally known as “Sizzle” at the HSSV, but I renamed him Charlie. It’s been 5 days now, and I’m just so happy with him. Waking up to him is such a joy. Within the last few days, we’ve gone on lots of walks, had a vet check-up, had lots of play time, and plan to have a visit to the groomers. He’s this bundle of energy that loves his toys! I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you so much for providing me with my happy fur baby. My family and I love him so much! He has brought so much happiness to our home, and I’d like to think it’s the same for him too as we experienced his “zoomies” here!! Thank you Margaret for our meet & greet, and thank you Denise for helping process the adoption forms and answering any questions I had. Thank you to the staff who helped encourage me to meet him as well. Everyone was so patient and helpful. I’m truly so grateful! I have attached some updated photos here of our time together so far! Thank you!!!!
