The Humane Society of Yates County is featuring two adoptable pets this week - Nola, a 3-year-old FIV+ cat with extra toes, and Stetson, a 10-year-old Lab/Hound mix found wandering alone. Both animals are described as friendly, affectionate, and ready to join a loving home.

Why it matters

The Humane Society's weekly pet profiles help raise awareness about local animals in need of adoption, connecting potential owners with deserving companions and supporting the organization's mission to find forever homes for all its rescues.

The details

Nola is a 3-year-old female cat who is FIV+ but can still live a long, healthy life in a caring home. She is described as sweet and affectionate, friendly with other cats, and unique due to her polydactyl (extra toes) trait. Stetson is a 10-year-old Lab/Hound mix who was found wandering alone and has been patiently waiting since January to be adopted. He is a mid-sized, calm, and gentle dog who gets along well with other canines and loves people, though his compatibility with cats is unknown.

  • Nola has been available for adoption at the Humane Society of Yates County.
  • Stetson has been waiting for his forever home since mid-January 2026.
