Pet of the Week 

Stu News Newport is delighted to be working with the Newport Beach Animal Shelter to help get the word out in search of loving homes for pets that deserve a warm, nurturing environment and a place to call “home."

The shelter is thrilled to announce that Henrietta, a courageous 5-month-old gray and white domestic shorthaired kitten, is now available for adoption. Henrietta’s remarkable journey to recovery is a testament to her strength and resilience.

Henrietta’s story began when she was unfortunately hit by a car, resulting in a hip injury that required her to undergo cage rest. The daedicated staff and volunteers at the Newport Beach Animal Shelter provided her with the care, love and support she needed to make a full recovery. Today, they are delighted to report that she is healed and ready to find her forever home.
