Ghost Toast was adopted by Tyler and Brittany. They first saw her adorable picture online and just had to come meet her in person. It didn’t take long — her charming personality and super-cute face won them over instantly. She fit right in with everyone she met and will now be joining two feline friends at home!

Eyllwe was adopted by Deborah. Deborah has been in the process of grief and has been looking around at the cafe cats seeing if anyone spoke to her. She found that Eyllwe continued to pop up in front of her and draw her attention. She visited the cafe to meet her and didn't connect at first, but once they did connect, the fireworks were surely there. A friend told her it is beautiful that she is now welcoming a new heartbeat into her home. That resonates with us perfectly and we simply couldn't agree more!

Four kitties found homes this evening.

Cesar was adopted by Cara, she was sent his online post and was instantly drawn to him as he reminded her of her soul cat who has passed. Having had hardships come up recently, she immediately felt Cesar was a sign everything would be okay and they could be there for each other. After knowing she was approved she came to meet him. She instantly fell in love with his sweet and loving personality and felt he would be a great fit to join her family at home!

One adoption this evening.

Our handsome boy Scout was adopted by his foster family. Scout was found trapped in a car engine as a tiny baby, and that "adventure" cost him one ear and his tail. In order to help him we needed a foster and the Overcash family stepped up. They have been showering this sweet boy with love through his recovery and when it came time for him to go up for adoption his foster dad couldn't let him go....he had gotten way too attached. So tonight, it was made official and Scout is truly home!

Our very special boy Zamariel was adopted by the Muse family. They visited the cafe together and Zamariel chose Shelly to be his mom. He set up camp in her lap and refused to leave her for his entire visit. He will be joining several kitty friends at home and is sure to be spoiled for the rest of his days, a large improvement from roughing it on the streets of Concord with a mouth full of bad teeth and severe respiratory issues. Happy life sweet boy!

Siblings Ooky Spooky and Hauntress were adopted together by Anthony and Briauna. They first fell in love with Ooky Spooky’s picture, but when they came to meet him and saw how close he was with his sister, they knew they couldn’t separate the pair. Now these two get to stay together forever — and that just means double the snuggles!

Seance, who will now be named Opal, was adopted by the Sierra family! They were looking for a kitty friend for their current cat, and Seance made quite the impression—she gave mom sweet kisses right away, and it was love at first sight. Now she will settle into her new home filled with cats, dogs, and kids, ready for all the affection and adventure that come with it.

We are sure many of you have heard the discussions in the media regarding the current government shutdown and how it will be affecting those who receive SNAP benefits and other government subsidies to feed their families.

The HSOC hosts many events at Mt. Olivet United Methodist Church in Concord and they also provide our fundraising team with a place to prepare for events such as our annual Spayghetti dinner and our online auctions. They have a food pantry that serves many area families and seniors and the need continues to grow monthly. On average they serve about 50 families a month providing much needed staples and supplies, and we expect that number will continue to grow as we move through the holiday season and with this continued government shutdown. In addition, we supply Blessing Bags to unhoused members of the community.

We are going to be collecting food items for the pantry to help during this difficult time. Donations can be brought to the church office during the hours listed on the flyer or dropped off at Princeton's anytime and we will transport them over to the church!

Please see the attached flyer for the most needed items, and if you are interested in contributing in other ways such as through monetary or gift card donations or you wish to make a large donation drop off, please email [email protected] for information on how to do that!

If you have any questions, you can reach out to us on FB or IG () or via email at [email protected]
