Humane Society of Catawba County is thrilled to introduce our new kid oriented web page for all those young people who want to make a difference in the lives of homeless animals.

        Isabella McKinnon celebrated her 7th birthday with a Gold Paw party at HSCC. Isabella was dressed as her dog, Rascal, and invited her friends to dress as their favorite animal. Instead of presents for herself, Isabella asked her friends to bring pet supplies and donations for HSCC shelter animals. Also, as a gift to Isabella, her parents donated to the HSCC Guardian Angel Fund for Isabella to be a Guardian Angel to a shelter animal.

If you are interested in celebrating your birthday at HSCC, find out more on our birthday page.



 
ASK DR. ALOT
Dr. Alot (also known as Lancelot) is one of HSCC's resident shelter cats. From his many adventures, he realizes there are many of us humans that do not understand the needs of his four-legged friends.

If your pet or you have a question, email Dr. Alot using the link below and he will reply and your question might even show up here!

James from Newton asked "My mommy tells me there are harmful plants to animals this time of year, is that true?"

Dr. Alot replied, "Yes, Poinsettia, Mistletoe, and Holly are all poisonous to Dogs and Cats. If your animal eats these plants he or she will have a very upset tummy and may need to be brought to the doctor."

Dr. Alot wants everyone to know the importance of all his four-legged friends having a current rabies vaccination. Click here to see more information about rabies.
