Meet Sawyer (and Sterling)
In rescue there is great joy and great heartache... and sometimes these two emotions come with the same story. Two years ago Sterling and Sawyer were adopted together as kittens. We were overjoyed at their good fortune. The brothers loved each other and their hooman mama. She took great care of them and they were happy cats. Sadly, their mama died recently. Her caregiver took care of the boys after their mama passed but is unable to keep them. Thankfully, she called us to see if we could take them back. Of course we will! Once a Smithgall family member always a Smithgall family member.
The boys took a while to decompress but are now showing us the sunny personality we remember from when they were kittens. They are both on the larger side, but Sawyer is the smaller of the two, and has developed just as much confidence as his brother. Sawyer has come out of his safe hiding spot and welcomes any attention he can get. He gives sweet kitty hugs and he's always the first to greet guests to the community cat room and jump into a willing lap (usually he has to share the lap with his brother Sterling). We can tell he and his brother are going to be wonderful family members. These big, beautiful boys (almost identical twins) are being so brave and have everyone charmed. We will continue to love them but we hope someone will see their story and apply to give them a loving home. We would love them to go home together but they have shown an Independence that makes us think they will do just fine separated if that means they go to a loving home. Sterling and Sawyer will transition easily into a new home once they feel loved. If you love big, warm cuddle bugs on a cold winter day, Sawyer is just the cat for you. If you're able to give Sawyer (and maybe Sterling) a loving furever home, please submit a cat application from our website www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org
Please call our shelter at 706-865-4135 or email us at smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net to verify that we received your application. All adopters must complete an approval process which involves a reference check with current/recent vet and a brief home visit if located in the immediate area. We do permit out of state adoptions. Adopters MUST come to the shelter to transport their new family member home. We do not ship nor do we transport them to their new homes. Adoption policies and application procedures are detailed at the shelter website: http://charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/ under tab All Adoptable Animals.
Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No kill shelter. Animals in our care remain safe with us until adopted. Resident animals are either owner relinquished rescued from area Animal Controls or high kill shelters. The facility usually is operating at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.
