Pet of the Week: Gigi!🐾
Gigi is a beautiful 7-year-old gray-and-white cat with a gentle heart and plenty of love to give. She came to the shelter through no fault of her own when her previous owner could no longer care for her. Now, Gigi is ready for a fresh start with a loving family.
This sweet girl enjoys lap time and gentle brushing, making her an ideal companion for someone looking for a calm, affectionate feline friend. Gigi deserves a home where she can feel safe, loved and cherished for years to come.
Could Gigi be the missing piece in your family? She’s ready to begin her next chapter with someone who will give her the loving forever home she deserves.❤️
The HSV Animal Welfare League is in need of volunteers to help us care for the shelter dogs and cats! To participate in this rewarding opportunity, please fill out the Volunteer Application on our website and one of our members will contact you.
