Gingersnap's Story

Gingersnap is a beautiful, gentle soul who is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. She is a very shy girl, and while she may keep her distance at first, it's not because she doesn't care--it's because she's scared. Even now, she sometimes shies away from pets, unsure of what to expect.<br/><br/>This sweet kitty needs a calm, peaceful home where she can move at her own pace. Slow introductions are a must, and patience will be her greatest comfort. Gingersnap isn't the type to rush into affection, but with time, consistency, and kindness, she has the potential to form a deep and meaningful bond with her person.<br/><br/>She would thrive in a quiet home with someone who understands that love doesn't always come instantly. For Gingersnap, trust is something earned gently--through soft voices, respectful space, and letting her choose when she's ready.<br/><br/>If you're the kind of person who believes the most special connections are worth waiting for, Gingersnap could be your perfect match. She may be scared, but beneath that fear is a lovely girl who deserves a chance to feel safe, secure, and loved--on her own terms.<br/><br/>💫 Adopting Gingersnap means giving her the time she needs... and being rewarded with the quiet magic of a cat who learns to trust because of you. 💫Give us a call at (304) 387-4102 for more information!<br/><br/>ADOPTION APPLICATION:<br/>All adoption applications are completed at the shelter unless otherwise noted.<br/><br/>FOSTER APPLICATION:<br/>Want to be a hero for a homeless animal in need? <br/>Apply online to become a Foster Care Volunteer today! <br/>https://jchsfoundation.com/FosterApplication<br/><br/>Please keep in mind that this page is managed by volunteers and may not be completely up to date at all times.

Hancock County Animal Shelter's Adoption Policy
ADOPTING AN ANIMAL Adopting a shelter animal is one of the most rewarding things you can do.  The dog or cat will pay you back  with unlimited unconditional love and will provide many hours of devoted companionship. Studies also prove that owning an animal has many health benefits such as soothing stress and lowering blood pressure. Just keep in mind that taking an animal into your home is a commitment for the lifetime of that animal.  A dog can live up to 16 years or more; a cat even longer. You will need to think about that animal's veterinary care, feeding, exercise, and general well being.  To adopt from our shelter, you must fill out an application with references and veterinarian.  In some instances, you may be asked to fill out a pre-adoption form.  Upon approval, you may adopt. We do not hold animals.  Adoptions are on a first come basis. We reserve the right to refuse.
