Rapid City families with a heart for animals have a new candidate for adoption: Uno, a two‑year‑old tabby cat who lost an eye and his tail but not his spirit. Uno spends his days at Kitty City, a local shelter, where he enjoys lounging on his favorite tower and soaking up gentle scratches from volunteers.
Why Uno Makes a Great Companion
Even with his unique challenges, Uno is a social and affectionate cat. Shelter staff note that he readily approaches visitors, purring and seeking attention. His missing eye does not hinder his ability to navigate the shelter, and his playful nature shines through when he bats at toys or curls up in a sunny spot.
How to Bring Uno Home
Families interested in giving Uno a permanent home should contact the Humane Society of the Black Hills at 605‑394‑4170. The organization can arrange a meet‑and‑greet, discuss adoption requirements, and answer any questions about caring for a cat with special needs.
Supporting Local Animal Welfare
Adopting a pet like Uno not only provides a loving home for an animal in need but also supports the broader mission of the Humane Society of the Black Hills. The shelter relies on community donations, volunteers, and responsible adopters to continue rescuing and caring for animals throughout the region.
Rapid City residents are encouraged to consider adoption as a first option when looking for a new pet. By choosing a shelter animal, families help reduce the demand for breeding operations and give a second chance to cats and dogs who deserve a safe, caring environment.
What to Expect When Adopting
Prospective adopters should be prepared for a brief adjustment period as Uno settles into his new home. Providing a quiet space, consistent feeding schedule, and regular veterinary check‑ups will help him thrive. The shelter can offer guidance on nutrition, litter training, and any special care considerations related to his missing eye.
