About Shimmer

Meet Shimmer! This playful girl came to HHR with her siblings, and they’ve adjusted well thanks to a loving foster. All three of them are affectionate and enjoy chasing each other around in true kitten fashion. They’ve interacted with both cats and small dogs in their foster home, and they’d happily fit into a family with children as well. At about 7 months old, Shimmer is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. She thrives on companionship, so she’ll need a furry friend in her forever home. To meet her, complete an application on the Halfway Home Rescue website. Adoption donation is $300. Your new best friend is just one click away.
