FAQ

Sanctuary kitties are the kitties who get to call HKKR their home for life. Some have medical issues, some have behavioral issues, and some don’t thrive in home environments. They will get to enjoy a happy, safe life with us at the rescue until it is their time to cross the rainbow bridge. 🙂

Microchips are a small implant that are inserted right under the skin of the kitty. Each microchip has an individual identification number. The chip can be scanned by a microchip scanner in the event that a cat is lost or stolen. The microchip is registered online with owner information. So, if the kitty is found, the kitty and owner can be reunited quickly. 🙂 The microchip does not work as a tracking device.

FIV/FELV testing is a simple blood test that identifies if a kitty has one of these 2 blood diseases. FIV is an autoimmune disorder in kitties which makes them more susceptible to infections. They live normal lives like kitties that don’t have FIV. FELV is Feline Leukemia. This disease is something we cannot take the risk of a kitty having and coming into our care. This is much more easily transferable. We will and have had kitties with FIV that we will adopt out. We will not have a FELV+ kitty in the rescue.

HKKR always hopes that adopted kitties have found their furever homes. However, we know that sometimes things arise, and you may have to rehome your kitties. We always want HKKR alumni kitties back. You simply need to contact us so we can begin the return process. You may text Kelsey or Jen or message the Facebook page.
