Founded in 1897, the Humane Society for Southwest Washington is the largest and oldest animal welfare organization in Southwest Washington. HSSW is an independent nonprofit with campuses in Vancouver and Longview, Washington. Each year, HSSW cares for thousands of pets. We provide shelter to lost and stray animals, a refuge from abuse and neglect, essential medical care, and a lifesaving second ch

ance. Our commitment to the pets and people of Southwest Washington extends beyond the shelter, providing critical support to pets and families with Wellness Clinics, pet food assistance, spay/neuter, emergency boarding, financial assistance, and other programs that help keep families together. We also own and operate ReTails Thrift Store. Giving new life to gently-used items, every purchase and donation at ReTails supports our lifesaving work with the animals.

Canelo is on the road to recovery. He recently had surgery to remove a growth on his eye, and he’s healing well, finding his groove as a one-eyed guy. He also lives with a bladder condition that means he needs a calm, low-stress home to really thrive.

If you’ve been waiting for the right reason to open your home to a cat who needs a little extra patience and a lot of love, this is it. Join us for our PURRR-fect Match Event June 19-20 for fee-waived adoptions on all adult cats 6 months and older, including this guy.
