Meet the HSHV Pet of the week at www.hshv.org/

🦄 Say hello to Narwhal, our latest Pet of the Week from the Humane Society of Huron Valley!

Narwhal is a fun-loving, people-adoring guy whose mission in life is to keep you entertained. 🎭 He treats every single day like an adventure and loves a good play-and-wrestle session! Because he brings a solid amount of spunk and plays a little rough-and-tumble, he’d love an adopter who can match his awesome energy. 🎾💥

😻 Narwhal is FeLV+ (Feline Leukemia Positive), which means he needs to be the only cat in the home or live with other FeLV+ buddies (like his current office pals!).

While FeLV can mean a shorter lifespan, Narwhal proves every day that it’s all about putting maximum love and joy into the time we have.

❤️✨

If you’re ready for a life full of laughs, cuddles, and endless entertainment, Narwhal is ready to meet you! Stop by HSHV or visit hshv.org to learn more about him and FeLV. 🏠💖

All HSHV residents come spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
