18 years old. Just 9 pounds. And still waiting for a place to call home.

Meet Cooper, a sweet senior gentleman who deserves to spend his golden years surrounded by love. He enjoys gentle pets, attention, and simply being near his people. He knows what he likes and will let you know when he needs a little space.

At 18 years old, Cooper deserves a soft place to land, a family to call his own, and the comfort of knowing he belongs. He may be a senior, but he still has so much love to give.

Cooper is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. He’s ready for someone to give him the loving home he deserves.

Could you be Cooper’s person? If you’re interested, please come to HSVB and meet him in person. Help us share his story so he doesn’t have to wait any longer for a home of his own.

It’s $5 Friday, and we’re getting closer to our goal! We’ve raised just over $800 toward the $1,300 needed to purchase 10 additional feral cat dens, and we’re so grateful to everyone who has contributed so far.

We still have a little way to go, and even a $5 donation makes a difference. These dens help our team safely care for community cats who need medical treatment but cannot be handled like typical house cats.

Can you help us reach the finish line? Visit the original post below to learn more and donate.

Every cat deserves safe, humane care, even if they’re not a lap cat.

Happy National Cat Day from Kibby, our office's resident chonk!

Kibby is currently holding down the fort at HSVB, but he'd much rather be clocking in at his forever home! This lovable big guy has made himself comfortable as our office cat, but he's still looking for someone to take him home for good.

Could you be the one to give this handsome chonk a permanent place to nap, lounge, and supervise your daily activities?

Celebrate National Cat Day by giving Kibby some love in the comments, and if you're interested in adopting him, come meet him at HSVB!

It never gets less heartbreaking to see a senior in need of a home❤️‍🩹

At 9 years old, beautiful Amber should be spending her days feeling safe, loved, and secure. Instead, she's waiting for someone to give her that chance.

Amber is a sensitive soul who finds new people and unfamiliar situations a little scary. She needs patience, a gentle hand, and someone willing to let her learn to trust at her own pace. Beneath that uncertainty is a very sweet girl who just wants to feel safe.

Nine years is a long time to live, and Amber deserves to know that her best days aren't behind her.

Please don't let this sweet senior spend any more of her precious years waiting. ❤️

Hi, everyone! Joplin here, and I have two special requests for this week's Wishlist Wednesday!

First up, pill pockets! Some of my fellow shelter pets need a little help taking their medication, and pill pockets make it much easier to get their medicine down. You can find these on our Amazon Wishlist!

Second, newspapers! These are always helpful around the shelter, and we'd be so grateful for any newspaper donations you can bring by.

Want to help out?
Newspapers: Drop them off at the shelter!
Pill Pockets: Find them on our Amazon Wishlist - https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/HDLDKH245NPK/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex?fbclid=IwY2xjawVMoTRleHRuA2FlbQIxMABwZG9mAWJyaWQRMU1PeVd3ajB0Nlg4MWQ3bVdzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEehGbP5cZG6vffTzwOGK270pAJIu-7yQdrsN1msM1wJanOtR1VE7sLV9uXhk4_aem_VG0LRR51VEQXLiSzcdu0oA

Every donation helps us take better care of the animals waiting for their forever homes. Thank you for thinking of us, Joplin included!

A big thank you to Rosewood Magnet School for organizing a donation drive for the Humane Society of Vero Beach & Indian River County!

We are so grateful to the students, staff, and everyone who contributed to help stock our shelves with much-needed supplies. These donations make a real difference in helping us care for the animals who depend on us every day.

Thank you for thinking of our shelter and helping make life a little brighter for the animals in our care!

Halloween can be full of spooky sights, sounds, and treats, but it doesn't have to be scary for your pets!

- Keep your furry friends comfortable this Halloween with a few simple tips:
- Keep pets away from the front door during trick-or-treating to reduce stress and prevent escapes.
- Let your pet opt out of costumes if they seem uncomfortable.
- Create a quiet, safe space away from the Halloween commotion.
- Keep candy and treats out of reach! Chocolate, sugar-free candy containing xylitol, grapes, raisins, and other common Halloween goodies can be dangerous or toxic to dogs. Keep all human treats safely stored away from curious noses.

If your pet gets into something they shouldn't, contact your veterinarian or a pet poison control hotline right away. You can call Florida Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 for guidance. Help is available 24/7 and is free.

A little preparation goes a long way toward keeping Halloween happy and safe for every member of the family!

Hi. I’m one of the cats you might call “feral.” I’m not used to people, and being in a shelter is frightening for me. I prefer to keep my distance, and I need to be handled differently than a house cat. But I still deserve safe, humane care.

Here in Indian River County, community cats are a growing challenge. Florida’s warm climate allows cats to reproduce throughout much of the year, and outdoor populations can grow quickly without intervention. Due to local regulations, community cats cannot simply be spayed or neutered and returned to where they were found. This makes it especially important to have the resources to safely house and care for cats like me.

That’s where feral cat dens come in. These secure enclosures allow HSVB staff to safely contain cats who cannot be handled, making necessary medical treatment and sedation possible while protecting both the cats and their caregivers.

Right now, HSVB has about 20 dens in use, including some being used by the clinic for treatment and sedation. After a busy weekend bringing in more cats like me, they've run out of available dens.

We need to raise $1,300 to purchase 10 more dens. These additional enclosures will help HSVB continue providing safe, humane care to community cats who need medical attention.

Thankfully, HSVB doesn't do this work alone. We're grateful to TNVR Indian River County for helping address the community cat population and support the animals who need us.

Will you help make room for cats like me? Every donation brings us closer to our $1,300 goal and helps HSVB prepare for the next cat who needs care.

I may never be a lap cat, but I still deserve care.

We are so thankful for Dyer Subaru's hard work on this adoption event! It was a great time and we were able to find forever homes for 10 of our animals.

It’s Monday morning, and what better way to start the week than with a little COFFEE?! ☕️🤎

And…we happen to have the sweetest cup around!

Meet Coffee, a beautiful 5-year-old girl who is hoping someone will give her a chance to shine!

Much like the rest of us on a Monday morning, Coffee needs a little time to warm up! She can be shy and unsure when meeting new people, but underneath that nervous exterior is a really sweet girl just waiting to blossom♥️

Coffee loves gentle pets, kind people, and taking life at her own pace. She's learning that the world isn't such a scary place, and a patient, loving family would make all the difference for her.

Come meet her to make a huge difference in her world 🌎 💗
