LIVE KITTY CAM!

Exciting news – we just got a kitty camera for some of our kitties in the cat room! BIG thank you to our generous manager for providing this. We will be changing the location of the camera every day to spotlight all of our awesome felines! The camera will be disconnected in the mornings from roughly 8 AM to 11 AM to allow our cat room techs to clean. Other than that, we will always be on. Click the button down below to check them out! 🙂 We hope you enjoy!

In Loving Memory of Walter Umphrey

It is with heavy hearts that we learn of the passing of our friend and supporter, Mr. Walter Umphrey.

With the longtime generosity and kindness of Walter and Sheila Umphrey, HSSET has been able to rescue thousands of homeless pets in Southeast Texas and start to build our new no-kill shelter to serve our community.

Mr. Umphrey was a true friend to the animals. Our most sincere prayers and condolences go out to the Umphrey family.
