Adopt-A-Pet: Mochi and Kensington

Does your family feel like it’s missing something this holiday season? Does the tree look a little bare underneath, or is there not a wet nose nudging your hand under the table during holiday feasts?

Now Habersham and the Habersham County Animal Shelter would like to introduce you to two adoptable animals, Mochi and Kensington, that would love to be part of your family this winter!

Meet Mochi

Meet Mochi, a super cuddly, three-legged male cat. Known as the Habersham County Animal Shelter’s “love bug,” Mochi will make your heart as soft as the candy he’s named after.

“I was surrendered to the shelter with a fractured leg a few months ago,” Mochi says. “It was a bad fracture, and my leg needed amputation for me to get better. I was scared at first, but with a lot of love and care from the shelter and their volunteers, the surgery went really well, and I’m all healed up.”

Now that Mochi is all healed, he can focus on what’s next: his forever home. He’s staying with a foster family right now, cuddling up with family members and relaxing while he waits for the place that he can call his own for good.

“I love people of all ages, as long as they like to snuggle,” Mochi says. “I’m hoping to find a home with lots of soft things to fall asleep on, and humans that will give me all the affection I give them.”

Meet Kensington

Meet Kensington, a friendly female terrier/pit mix.

“I came to the shelter at the beginning of September, and have been waiting to go home ever since,” Kensington says. “It’s getting cold in the shelter, and while everyone here takes good care of me and I’ve made lots of friends, I’d really like to have a family and a home more than anything else.”

Kensington is great with other dogs and humans, and loves to run, play, make new friends and give kisses.

“My ideal home would have a big yard to run around in, with other dogs to meet,” she says. “I can’t wait to be part of a family of my own, and to have somewhere warm and safe to call home.”
