My personality

My story

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

What a JOY!

And what a beauty! This little 1-year-old kitten (and she IS petite) has a gorgeous coat of brown, black, and white and the distinctive Tabby M on her forehead.

Like most cats her age, Joy stays very busy. She enjoys playing with toys, investigating objects around the house, and exploring new spaces. And she's an absolute cuddle bug.

She's currently living with dogs in her foster home, but she'd much rather spend the rest of her life with people and cats. We're looking for a family that has experience with kittens and can give Joy a lifetime of love.

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.

Adoption 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.

More about this rescue

We provide refuge and rehabilitation for abandoned and abused animals until they are adopted.
