Resident superstar Vashti Age: 5 years Breed: Domestic Short-Hair, Calico Gender: Spayed-Female Specifics: Current on vaccinations, not a candidate for declaw Personality: Vashti is the type of cat that needs to be very sure of her surroundings before she comes out of her shell. Once comfortable, she will show off just how sweet she is. Vashti is independent, but don’t let that deter you! She always appreciates a good head rub. She may appreciate being the only animal in the home as she can be apprehensive in new situations; however, with proper, slow introductions, she may tolerate another respectful animal. She would do best in a home with respectful, older children. Portraits by Hilary Running
What is a Resident Superstar at CRHS? A Resident Superstar at the Coulee Region Humane Society is a featured animal available for adoption that is having a difficult time finding his or her forever home. These pets have typically been waiting to be adopted longer than any other animal at the shelter, and oftentimes have special needs and require certain accommodations. Our Resident Superstars are wonderful, loving pets that simply need a little help. Their adoption fees are also reduced in an effort to encourage adoption.
