Stone, a 10‑year‑old orange‑colored tabby cat, has been named the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region’s (HSPPR) Pet of the Week. The shelter received Stone after her previous owner surrendered her, and she has spent just over two weeks in the care of HSPPR staff and volunteers.
About Stone
Stone is described as shy at first, but she quickly becomes sweet and affectionate once she feels comfortable. She enjoys gentle petting and will often curl up in a lap when she trusts the people around her. Although she has lived with children before, the shelter recommends that she would thrive best in a quieter, more mature household where she can settle into a calm routine.
Adoption Details
Potential adopters can learn more about Stone by visiting the Humane Society’s website at hsppr.org or by stopping by the shelter in person. The adoption center is located at 4600 Eagleridge Place, Pueblo, Colorado. Adoption hours are daily from noon to 4:30 p.m., and the shelter can be reached by phone at 719‑544‑3005 for any questions or to schedule a meet‑and‑greet.
Why Adopt?
Adopting a senior cat like Stone offers a rewarding experience for families seeking a companion who is already calm, litter‑trained, and accustomed to indoor living. Senior cats often require less intensive training and can provide steady, loving presence without the high energy demands of younger kittens. By giving Stone a permanent home, adopters help reduce shelter crowding and support the Humane Society’s mission to find safe, permanent homes for all animals in need.
How to Prepare for a Senior Cat
Families considering Stone should ensure they have a quiet space where she can retreat, a comfortable bed, and regular veterinary care to monitor age‑related health needs. Providing a consistent feeding schedule, gentle play, and plenty of affection will help Stone feel secure and thrive in her new environment.
Support the Humane Society
Even if you are not ready to adopt, you can still support HSPPR’s work by donating, volunteering, or spreading the word about Stone and other animals awaiting homes. The shelter relies on community involvement to continue its lifesaving efforts throughout the Pikes Peak region.
