Kittens and cats in Albany, Georgia

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.

Romeo-Walker needs a permanent home! He was found and dropped off at the vet’s office with a broken leg and fractured pelvis. His leg may have to be amputated but, in spite of all he has been through, this little Romeo is only concerned about being loved on! He is so incredibly loving and sweet. In addition to the broken leg, fractured pelvis and wound on his tail, he came in extremely thin and malnourished, dirty and no indication of having been cared for in his short lifetime. However, the attention, love and tender care he received by the staff at the vet’s office worked wonders on his young heart and turned him into a little Romeo. His surname is in honor of one of his hero's that lavished him with love. We have no history on this adorable, purring Romeo but we can tell you he is not afraid of the dogs he’s been around! He tried really hard to snuggle up and love on one of the dogs he has met while hanging at the vet clinic. The vet thinks he is probably anywhere from 8-10 months old. He is being neutered, given needed vaccinations and should be ready for his new home in a few days - pending the decision on whether the leg needs to be amputated. Romeo just needs a family to love him, especially while he heals. Please share him so he can find a home for Christmas!!

*****COURTESY LISTING***** Petra - catch phrase:  "You go girl!"  Uber confident, takes no flak from any other kitty, can wrestle with the best, but still loves her hoomans affection.  LOUD purring, kinda Velcro, social butterfly and lovebug. LOTS of energy, if she was sponsored, it would be by Red Bull AND Mountain Dew! Petra is beautiful, fun, and full of energy when she gets comfy in her surroundings. In work from home, she will remind you to take kitty breaks about every two hours to pick her up and scratch. Miss Petra is also talkative too.  You can submit an adoption application for Petra at http://www.myhstc.org/cats.

*****COURTESY LISTING***** Meet Remy!  He is the quiet, introspective, silent type who loves to read.  He has mastered social skills and does well with others but enjoys spending time alone playing with his favorite toys.  Remy is observant, gentle and well mannered - would probably be fond of wearing bow ties.  Handomse, sensitive and gentle.  Remy would be great as an only cat but does love kitty friendships and some good wrestling. He plays with his Hooligan friends but more often than not he will sit in the corner and play alone. You can submit an adoption application for Remy at http://www.myhstc.org/cats.

*****COURTESY LISTING*****These boys are bonded and need to be adopted together! Meet Sebastian and Derp - aka Ricky Bobby and Cal, the Hooligans! The play rough, wrestle all morning and nap together the rest of the time.  These tuxedo wearing brothers go together - "shake and bake"! Sebastian (with the white between his eyes) is the more clever, playful and confident Hooligan. He plays hard and naps long! His favorite toy is the cardboard scratching pad. He is very sociable and usually the first to greet you in the morning.  Derp (no white between his eyes) is the big kid on the playground.  He wants to play with everyone, but when you get hit in dodgeball, you know it.  He is the larger of the Hooligans and his favorite toy is the one someone else is playing with. Derp will steal your toy and growl as he wals away and then plays with it in front of you.  This usually leads to a Sebastian vs. Derp wrestle and chase.
