My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Adorable and unique! That's Vincent van Gogh, whose right ear gives him a special look that inspired us to give him a special name.

Vincent (for short) was found wandering in a rural area, so we don't know anything about his early days or how he ended up with an ear hematoma that went untreated and was left to resolve on its own. Our vet believes Vincent is about 10 months old. He's healthy, neutered, and up to date on vaccines.

Currently living with a foster, Vincent loves his cat companions (there are 4), and he's doing pretty well with the 3 large dogs in the home. He's very affectionate and quite calm for a young cat. And he's a neatnik! He keeps his food and litter areas almost spotless. Vincent loves interactive play and will respond enthusiastically to toys being thrown to him, but he's also adept at amusing himself.

If you're interested in Vincent van Gogh, please contact us, and we'll get back to you within a day.
Because our adoption process involves a foster period (to make sure the "fit" is good) and home visits, we're looking for a family in the Bradenton/Sarasota (Florida) area.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Our application requests information about the adopter, other members of the household (including pets), and the home environment.

2.

Approve Application

Before an application is approved, we contact personal and vet references.

3.

Meet the Pet

If the application is approved, we schedule a "meet and greet." If that goes well, we move to the next step.

4.

Home Check

We take the desired animal to the home. Everyone in the family, including other pets, must be present.

5.

Take the Pet Home

If the home visit goes well, the family fosters the animal for several weeks. Adoption occurs if HPC and the family feel the "fit" is good.

Additional adoption info

Our application can be found at the bottom of the "Adopt" page on the HPC website. All animals are examined (with blood work and any other testing needed), altered, and vaccinated prior to adoption. The adoption fee is $100 for adult dogs, $50 for senior dogs, and $50-75 for cats. We are a volunteer-based sanctuary, so it may take a day or two to process your application.

Go meet their pets

Our dogs and cats are fostered in four locations in the Bradenton/Sarasota area of Florida: Myakka City, West Bradenton, Bradenton, and Zolfo Springs. We attend community-wide adoption events, and we also schedule our own events at local pet stores.
