Huckabee, who was adopted in 2008, recently passed away after living the best life.
We are truly grateful to his family for giving him the life he and every animal deserves. Below is a note from the family. He is pictured with his "niece" Gertie.
Hi Pound Pals Family,
My mom wanted me to reach out. In December of 2008 my sister and I joined my mom for a drive to Redford from Charleston, WV to adopt a new kitty, “King Henry”. We renamed him Huck and quickly took to calling him Huckabee. This morning after the longest and best kitty life, my brother and I joined mom in saying the hardest goodbye to the greatest cat. We estimate that he was around 20 years old - and I can assure you that the 18 he spent with my mom more than made up for any struggles he had before he was rescued.
Thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, for bringing this cat into her life. We lost my dad in 2023, and I know that Huckabee’s continued presence and love helped lighten the load of grief so much.
