This year, their Pet Week event shone a spotlight on a special feline named Moe, whose journey from the streets to a loving home has captured the hearts of many. Moe, an FIV positive Domestic Short Hair, is a testament to the resilience and affection that animals can offer, despite their challenges.

Moe’s Arrival and Impact

Moe’s arrival at GRHS was a turning point for the shelter. His playful nature and gentle demeanor quickly endeared him to volunteers and staff alike. Known for his love of belly rubs and rolling around on the ground, Moe’s presence brought joy and laughter to the shelter. His story is not just about finding a home but also about raising awareness for FIV-positive cats and the importance of responsible pet ownership.
