Description

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. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions or would like more information on Sugar.

Adoption process

The adoption fee for dogs is $85 and cats $75 (we will discount if more than one pet is adopted at the same time or the adoptee is taking on some type of medical care). We do allow out-of-state adoptions, however, transportation is the responsibility of the adopter.

We require a completed adoption application with a vet reference provided. We screen all applications prior to a meet and greet and we will call your vet to verify your information. Adoption applications are approved on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration matching the needs of the pet to an owner. Some long distance adoptions may also require a home visit from a local animal rescuer in the adopter’s area.

HSTC is an all volunteer organization - we have no paid staff and we DO NOT have a shelter. The majority of our pets are in individual foster homes with fosters who work full time jobs - some of our dogs are in boarding at one of our vet's offices. We make every effort to respond to questions and make contact on applications within 24-48 hours of receiving them. Please be patient with us.

Shelter location

HSTC partners with the local PetSmart store in Albany Georgia in adopting our cats into permanent homes. We rotate our cats every two weeks to keep them from getting too bored or stressed while in the adoption center. Our foster homes are happy to work with anyone that would like information on any of our cats that are not currently in rotation and housed at the PetSmart adoption center. Please do not hesitate to email us for information on how to meet your new best friend!

HSTC holds small adoption events at PetSmart in Albany, GA on the first and third weekends of each month where you can meet some of our dogs available for adoption. PetSmart Charities holds national adoption events during the months of February, May, September and November and HSTC participates in each of these national events. HSTC does not hold our normal first and third weekend events during the months of the national adoption events. We are happy to schedule a meet and greet with potential adopters who would like to meet particular dogs once an application is approved.
