Kittens and cats in Albany, Georgia

Geralt was a stray found in not great shape. Thinking he was a lost pet I took him in to get him healthy while looking for his family. No one has claimed him so I’m now looking for a lovely home for him to go. He is 6-8+ years old but could be older. Loves to be around people and will follow you around outside if you are looking for cat that acts more like a dog. Where you go, he will go, as he seeks attention and food. He doesn’t jump up on furniture or cabinets outside but has jumped up on a low patio futon. Easy to play with, loves food (especially wet food), and under the chin scratches. Does get along with or tolerates other cats and at least small dogs. Has been around older kids and done fine. Would love being doted in a single cat home, might like to be an indoor/outdoor cat or could be a good barn/shop cat. Rehoming fee is to ensure he goes to a good home.

Sweet Paige is currently my most independent, non-needy, behaved foster. She is absolutely precious! She doesn’t demand or fight for attention, she just calmly waits until she can ease into place beside me. She will then purr loudly while I pet her, make biscuits, curl up and go to sleep. Paige makes biscuits unlike many other cats - she gets her legs in on the action and almost marches while making hers. It’s a little bit comical but I don’t laugh at her because she’s a quiet girl and more timid than some of her foster siblings. She’s not timid when she plays though - she plays with passion and can tackle her foster brothers like a linebacker.  Paige was found on a tarp at about 4-5 weeks old - the tarp was torn and somehow one of her front legs had gotten caught. Apparently, in her efforts to get free from the tarp, she got it wrapped around her upper leg so tightly that she had a pretty bad open wound and her circulation was compromised. No one is really sure how it happened, we can only make guesses based on her condition when she was brought in to the vets office. The people who brought her in did not want her and thought the vet could just euthanize her to end her suffering. Thankfully, the vet saw some spark in this little girls eyes that said “I’m just getting started in this world and I’m a fighter”. So the vet and staff got to work - they got her free from all the tarp she’d got herself tangled in, got her wound cleaned up and treated, put her on some iv antibiotics and hopes for the best. After she made it through the first 24 hours, they kept the wound clean, kept the antibiotics going, encouraged her to eat and showered her with love. I was able to bring her home to foster a couple of weeks later. She loved the vet that decided to try and save her but she was still timid and cautious of other humans. It took Paige a few weeks before she was comfortable with me and then another couple of weeks to decide that instigating contact brought lots of joy and comfort to her. I am extremely grateful to the awesome vet who decided in a matter of seconds, that that sickly, wounded, mad, tiny ball of fur was worth trying to save. All little Paige needed was a chance!  Paige has never been around children or dogs. She has come so far in her journey and I feel like she can adjust to any situation with love and patience. However, I think it would be best for her to be in a quieter, calm environment to begin with. Loud, excited, busy homes are not going to be ideal for Paige. I thinks she could adjust to any dog that is typically laid back and doesn’t bark a lot. The main factor in any new home is always the patience, love and understanding of the human in charge.  You can submit an adoption application for Paige at http://www.myhstc.org/cats.

This boy is a treasure. Charlie is so sweet and loving. Mix in a big dose of mischief, a huge helping of play and you have the perfect cat. He loves romping around with his foster brothers and sisters, cuddling with you while you sit or sleep and he is super dedicated to all things edible. He loves, loves, loves to eat! Speaking of that - Charlie is a CHONK!  He has no clue that he is a big boy though. His struggles with spatial awareness are very real - he is constantly rolling himself off of surfaces - much to his shock. :) He is so entertaining!  Charlie has never been around children, nor dogs. With his outgoing personality, he would most likely be fine with both. You can submit an adoption application for Charlie at http://www.myhstc.org/cats.

****COURTESY LISTING**** Please help us in finding a home for Leo! Leo is a secret cuddle bug! We thought this little guy was a "love you from afar" kind - but we were wrong. He was just shy and needed some extra patience! Now that he's gotten comfortable, Leo is the best snuggler we've ever had. He enjoys sitting on your lap and laying on the bed (or on you).  Leo will happily chat and chirp with you. He is a sweet buddy who needs a buddy.  Leo is also curious, smart, and loves food. He enjoys playing with his stuffed mice, his foster siblings, and wand toys (feathers are the best!). His love of food also means he's very trainable. Leo would do best with another active cat he can play with and a human he can call his own, to play with, to love on, and get love from. Leo is about 5-6 months old. You can submit an adoption application for Leo at http://www.myhstc.org/cats. Please email hstcpurrs@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like more information on Leo . ##2252508##

Summer is like velcro! She is so loving and sweet that she just sticks to you. Her purrs are incredibly calming! She is still 110 percent young kitty and wildly playful. She loves her foster brothers and sisters and holds her own very well when they are all causing group chaos.  Summer is not one to accept outsiders quickly - she’s a little hissy and judgmental with newcomers at first. She’s just cautious and wants to take her time to grant approval. Can we all just say: FEMALE!!! Summer has never been around children nor dogs but considering her personality, she should be fine with both as long as introductions are handled appropriately and with patience.

Sugar was 99% spice and 1% sugar when she and her sister Reese first came to me. She was so spicy and determined to have no interaction with humans. She growled, hissed and bolted into hiding when any sound or movement was made. Little miss spicy just didn’t realize that I knew her type and had plenty of patience to wait her out. It took a while, along with lots of treats and hours of trust building, but Sugar is now 90% sugar and only 10% spice!! The 10% spice is only visible when something new or unexpected happens. She even lets me pick her up, put her in my lap or snuggle her close to my chest now. Huge, huge progress this amazing girl has made!!! Sugar adores her sister Reese and has learned to love her other foster siblings. She plays like there is no tomorrow and is an absolute joy to watch. She does not like loud noises and it takes time for her to adjust to any change. However, as long as she has a soft blanket that she can nuzzle herself completely under to hide from the “scary” stuff, she will be fine if you just let her adjust at her own pace. Sugar needs to be in a home with another cat she can play with but ideally, it would be wonderful if she and her sister Reese stayed together. HSTC only charges an additional $25.00 adoption fee when adopting a second kitten - which is a huge incentive to adopt two at one time for only $100.00. Sugar has a tremendous capacity to love, she just needs the confidence her sister or another kitty her age provides and a very loving, patient human that will let her bloom at her own pace.  You can submit an adoption application for Sugar  at http://www.myhstc.org/cats.
