Meet Sky, who was rescued with his sister, Velvet, from the South Pier of the Skyway.
Sky and Velvet are looking for a forever home together - because they're more than just friends - they're bonded for life!
Sky is a shy but sweet boy. He may need a little time to warm up, but once he feels comfortable, he's the ultimate cuddle bug. You'll find him curling up next to you, seeking out affection with his big heart and gentle nature. His sleek black fur and soulful eyes only add to his charm, making him a perfect companion.
We're looking for a quiet home for Sky and Velvet - a home where they can feel safe and loved. Patience is key. They may not be lap cats right away, but the love and trust they give once they're settled in is worth the wait. If you have room in your heart (and home!) for two devoted companions, Sky and Velvet will reward you with a lifetime of affection and companionship.
Since our adoption process involves a foster period and home visits, we're looking for a family in Bradenton or Sarasota. Help this inseparable pair stay together and give them the loving home they deserve!

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.
