Katrina has arrived here at HSWC resort lodge for a little R&R. She selected this resort because of the diverse climate and variety of activities offered here. She has been taking advantage of the outdoor cabins, getting in touch with nature and grounding herself. She has found the amenities to be delightful. The volunteers are meeting all her needs, exercise, treats, great bonding with friends. Katrina is not reactive to any of the other attendees. However, the outdoor cats have drawn her attention and she is showing that although she is here chillaxing, she will go from chill to chase very quickly. She is more well mannered with the indoor resort cats, and will respond to correction more easily. Inside cats hissing will cause her to back up and then she will continue on her way ok. Outside is another story. No barrier is too small for her to try to squeeze into to continue the chase. Redirecting her attention outside is very challenging. Beyond all of that Katrina is a delightful walker. She enjoys taking in all the sights: Watching all the participants goof around the splash zone. Greeting the other walkers with pleasant manners. She loves being outdoors. Once her activities conclude she is happy to recline in her indoor bungalow directly across from her new crush Ridgely. Also crushing on one of the other long fur breeds Kanook. She gets a little swagger going when she prances by his door. Come and visit this charming lady while she is still in vaca mode here at HSWC.
✅🏠 housetrained. ✅👍🐕🦺 ✅👍👨👩👧👦 🐈❓ might depend on the cat and the training. If Katrina is agreeable to adopting you after her vaca, it would be best if all cats that live inside are separated until the ground rules can be established. Training her to "leave it" would be in the best interest of the cat. Keeping leash on inside will also help correct any chase or lunging behavior. If separation is not possible then perhaps Katrina should reside in a cat free zone. She will be selecting her new roommates soon, she has a great deal of companionship to offer and has a gentle spirit. Please turn in your apps for her interview if you want this wonderful friend as a permanent member of your family.

More about this shelter
The Humane Society of Wicomico County was started in 1968 by a group of people who wanted to help improve the lives of animals. We have come a long way in our 40+ years! We have a staff dedicated to making sure the animals that come to our doors are loved and protected as they wait for their forever home. Not only are our animals vaccinated, wormed and given flea preventative, we can treat animals that come to us with mange, ringworm, heartworm and pay for animals to be seen by an outside vet should there be a need. We have an on-site spay/neuter clinic that not only is used for our animals but we also offer low cost spay/neuter for animals of the public. We provide emergency boarding for victims of domestic abuse, fire, and medical emergencies. We also have the capability to set up an off-site emergency shelter for people evacuated from their homes. In addition, we have an education program to help teach kids about being a responsible pet guardian. We work with a wide range of rescue groups and our animals have been transported from our mid-Atlantic area throughout the North Eastern United States. Our shelter is an open admission shelter and we will take in approximately 3500 animals this year. We do what we do because of our love for animals and our desire to make a difference in their lives every single day.
