My story

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

Gracelee is determined, strong-willed, adorable, sassy and so stinking lovable! This little three-legged wonder is simply a miracle. She was dropped off at a vets office to be euthanized at 3-4 weeks old after being found. No backstory or details - just an open wound where her front right leg was missing, multiple places on her tiny body with missing fur and a greasy looking substance in random places. She was dehydrated and very skinny but despite that and the missing leg that produced the open wound, she was bright eyed and vocal. Our awesome vets patched her up and gave me a call. I knew she was too little and vulnerable to leave unattended with the older foster kittens during the work day so I asked my boss (Lee) if she could be my co-worker for 4-6 weeks until she could hold her own. And, here we are!

Gracelee doesn’t know she is missing a leg. She plays, jumps, climbs and causes chaos just like her foster siblings do. She is so far beyond amazing! She has a little nub left of what was her right arm - it’s fully functional and it is adorable watching her move it - especially when she’s trying to cover up her business in the litter box! Sometimes she does great getting it covered and sometimes she doesn’t but her efforts are stellar regardless.

This tiny girl is so fast when she runs that she is a blur! When I first got her, she was so tiny she just screamed at me when she wanted to be picked up. Within 2 weeks, she just climbed my leg when she wanted to be picked up. Gracelee became a star at my work - everyone fell in love with her and she amazed everyone she met. Thankfully, by the time she became a little too helpful at work, she was big enough to hold her own with her older foster siblings.

Gracelee has not been around children or dogs but I think this spunky girl will be fine with both as long as introductions are handled appropriately.

You can submit an adoption application for Gracelee at http://www.myhstc.org/cats. Please email hstcpurrs@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like more information on Gracelee.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.

Go meet their pets

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.
