Safe and Sound

Since 2021, the founders of Sound Home Sanctuary have rescued, fostered, or adopted more than 50 different animals. Below are a few of their stories.

Jordan

Jordan had his work cut out for him — and us — from the start! This beautiful kitten struggled with stubborn ringworm (a fungal skin infection) but had a bad reaction to the oral medication required for treatment, so we diligently bathed him with special shampoo every day for months until he finally tested negative for ringworm. He also battled a second, life-threatening infection that required days of hospitalization. Despite all of this, Jordan was determined to thrive, and that he did. We cared for him in our kitten nursery until he was strong, and then he went to a phenomenal adopter.

Hanson

Hanson was found by a good samaritan and brought to a local animal hospital with a severe injury that required amputation her right front leg. This kitten was also feral and terrified of humans. With diligent care and patient socialization, this orange girl healed and adapted beautifully to being a tripod. She learned to love humans, too. She’s now being spoiled like she should be by her loving adopter in NYC.

Stache

Stache (named for his adorable mustache) was discovered orphaned outside with a sibling who sadly did not make it. He was only a few days old, severely dehydrated, and near death himself when we took him into the kitten nursery. We used our neonatal expertise — and a little bit of magic! — to get him healthy. Stache stayed with us and was bottle fed until he grew strong. He was adopted with Hanson and they are both living their best lives in NYC!

Gouda and Goat Cheese

These tuxedo boys were found separately as stray babies who needed extra TLC. They were both extremely shy and under-socialized but, as we discovered, sometimes all you need is a friend! Once we put them together, both boys found comfort in each other’s company, and they swiftly came out of their shells. They were adopted as a bonded pair by a wonderful family and are now living hap-purr-ly ever after.

Victoria

Victoria was one tough cookie. This gorgeous gray female was part of a litter of older, weaned kittens who were trapped by a local cat lover, and in need of some serious socialization. Due to her age, Victoria was past the window of easy socialization, and she did not want to trust humans (this earned her the nickname “Mis Hiss”). But we did not give up, and eventually Victoria learned to love people — treats helped! She was eventually adopted into a great home with a fun-loving cat brother to show her the ropes. Thanks to our generous donors, Sound Home was also able to fund Victoria’s spay surgery 100%, so her new human did not have to take on that cost and could instead focus on bonding with their fabulous new family member.
