Help Blake Find A Loving Home

By Franki Williams

Four months ago Blake, a seven year old domestic short hair cat, was surrendered to the Humane Society of Ventura County after his owners passed away and there was no one left to care for him. Situations such as these are precisely why animal shelters like the HSVC exist, to be there for those animals who have nowhere left to go. While it is a common misconception that animals in shelters are there because they themselves have done something wrong this is just not so. While Blake has transitioned nicely to our adult cat room this charming cat misses life in a loving home.
