At 21 months, she's just as adorable as she was as a kitten, and she still has plenty of curiosity and an uncanny ability to get into mischief. She's always looking for the next thing to do.
So we feel Abby needs an experienced adopter who can help her become a calm and well-rounded cat as she ages. We also feel she would do best in an adult-only household.
Abby is very affectionate. She loves kisses, hugs, and sitting/snoozing beside her foster mom when she's at her computer.
Abby was rescued with her sister, Ariel, and both are currently being fostered in a home with two other cats. Abby tends to have a "take charge" personality, but she gets along with everyone. If she isn't adopted with Ariel, she would do very well as a companion for a cat (or cats) already in the adopter's home.
The HPC adoption process involves a foster period (to ensure a good "fit") before the adoption is finalized. Since HPC visits the home during that time, potential adopters need to be in the Bradenton/Sarasota (Florida) area.

Rescue
Hooves, Paws, and Claws Animal Sanctuary of Florida
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.
