✨ GCHS Weekly ✨

This week’s cover star is Kia, a gentle, shy kitty who’s learning to trust and enjoy indoor life after raising her kittens in foster care. She’s curious, playful, and food-motivated—especially when Churu treats are involved! Kia is looking for a quiet, patient home where she can continue to grow at her own pace. 🐱💛

Meet Our Pets of the Week!
🐱 Momma Arwen – A calm, affectionate brown tabby who has finished raising her babies and is now ready for a peaceful forever home filled with love and gentle companionship.
🐶 Vicky – A sweet, shy 2.5-year-old hound mix with a wiggly tail and a tender heart. She warms up slowly but beautifully, and with treatment for heartworm, she has a bright future ahead.

🍂 Reminder: Fall in Love Adoption Special — Extended!
Adoption fees are waived through November 30 for:
✨ Adult dogs 25+ lbs
✨ Cats 5+ months
(Puppies and specialty breeds excluded.)

📅 We’re gearing up for Giving Tuesday on December 2nd — mark your calendars! Your support helps pets like Kia, Momma Arwen, and Vicky get the second chances they deserve.

Now’s the perfect time to open your heart and home. 💕

🐾 Pets of the Week: Meet Momma Arwen & Vicky! 🐶🐱

✨ Momma Arwen is a stunning brown tabby with a heart as gentle as her purrs. After lovingly raising her kittens, this sweet, calm girl is finally ready for a forever home of her own. She adores quiet company, soft pets, and cozy spaces where she can feel safe and adored. If you’re looking for a peaceful, affectionate feline to complete your family, Momma Arwen can’t wait to meet you. 💖

✨ Vicky is a 2.5-year-old, 45 lb hound mix with a shy heart and the happiest wiggle butt once she feels comfortable. She may take a little time to warm up—especially with new men in her life—but your patience will be rewarded with the most loyal, loving companion. Vicky is heartworm positive, but with treatment and a supportive home, she has a bright, healthy future ahead. She’ll need to meet every member of the family to make sure she finds the perfect match. 💛

🏡 Adoption fees are currently waived for adult dogs 25 lbs+ and cats 5 months and older, so it’s the perfect time to bring home a new best friend.

Come visit Momma Arwen, Vicky, and many more adoptable pets at Gulf Coast Humane Society in Fort Myers! 💕
