Henry is the Animal Protection Society’s pet of the week

The Ani­mal Pro­tec­tion Soci­ety of Fri­day Har­bor shares a look at the adopt­able ani­mal of the week — Hen­ry, a sev­en-year-old domes­tic long hair and orange tab­by who came to San Juan Island from Flori­da due to the effects of Hur­ri­cane Ian.

Hi, my name’s Hen­ry and I recent­ly came to APS-FH all the way from Flori­da. Although there was much to love about the sun­shine down south, I am ecsta­t­ic to now be liv­ing on the West Coast, espe­cial­ly dur­ing my favorite time of the year — fall/Halloween!

Now that I live here in Wash­ing­ton, I tru­ly get to expe­ri­ence the chang­ing leaves, the crisp­ness in the air, and how fun it is to be cozy and cud­dled up inside when the cold real­ly sets in. With my long fur, I was born ready for the cool that autumn brings. Aside from being a per­fect warm coat, I also love my long fur for its bright orange col­or – per­fect for Hal­loween. One of my very favorite things about Hal­loween is the cos­tumes, and every year I try to incor­po­rate my orange locks into my get­up. So far I’ve been a very con­vinc­ing orange Cray­ola cray­on, traf­fic cone, orange (fruit), salmon sushi roll, pump­kin, and my per­son­al favorite, a flamin’ hot Cheeto.

With just under two weeks left until Hal­loween, I’m still brain­storm­ing the per­fect orange cos­tume for this year’s fes­tiv­i­ties. Admit­ted­ly, I’m keep­ing my options open because maybe I’ll be adopt­ed by then and my per­son and I can do a joint cos­tume. Oh, one can only dream!
