Happy Tails

Macy

Macy was abandoned as a tiny, 10-week-old kitten. She found refuge in a garage and was found by the homeowner who, after seeing her eyes, brought her straight to the shelter. She’d suffered a horrific injury causing one eye to rupture and the other to have permanent scarring. We got her into surgery quickly to relieve her pain.

Despite having one eye removed and being partially blind in the other, Macy is a snuggly, loving, playful kitty who loves to be around people. She was adopted by two ladies who dote on her and make sure that she gets all the affection and attention she deserves after such a difficult start to life.

Snow White

Snow White was brought to HSTB as a stray with a harness embedded into her chest (see scar in photo at left). It had dug in so deeply that her skin started to grow over and around the fabric, causing painful sores to develop. Our veterinary staff quickly treated her wounds and provided comfort to the terrified pup. Once she had healed and settled in, it was time to find her a new home.

Kelly came to the shelter looking for a companion for her eight-year-old dog. She had been searching for over a year, but had not yet found the right fit. However, when she saw Snow White's big ears and goofy smile, she knew she had found a perfect match. Snow White was exactly what Kelly had been looking for in every way! She was so excited to bring her home and surprise her pup with her brand new fur sister. We know Snow White will live happily ever after with her new family.

On Saturday, October 8 th, more than 1,100 HSTB supporters gathered at the Tampa Convention Center to support homeless animals at Tuxes & Tails – Aegean Odyssey. The evening dazzled with drinks, dinner, dancing and lots of furry friends. Generosity flowed and the fund-raising goal was exceeded, bringing in much-needed funds for the animals. Additionally, 49 animals found their forever homes.
