Hershey arrived at Valley Humane as a young adult who immediately wowed our adoption team with his silly and friendly demeanor. Hershey went to a wonderful foster home for a few weeks to make some new friends, and get ready for adoption with his neuter surgery at the Phil Scholz Veterinary Surgery Center. Hershey’s sweet personality was a perfect match for his new guardian, Gaia, and he even has a new sibling to play with.

Gaia recently sent an email to update us on how Hershey’s been settling in.

“Hershey now goes by Myko and is fitting in nicely in his new home! He’s an expert morning cuddler which makes mornings much more enjoyable! He also loves napping inside blankets when he’s not exploring every nook and cranny inside and outside the house. Most of the time you’ll find Myko lounging in the sun somewhere in the backyard. He has fun playing with his feline sibling in their crinkly tunnel toy.”

Sounds like it’s going well in your new home, Hershey. Wishing you a very happy life full of soft blankets morning cuddles cuddles!
