My story

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

*My adoption fee is sponsored!*

Age: ~10+ / Weight: 9 lbs

Meet ROSIE!

Rosie's here for a good time, not a long time. She's lived fast and wild for 10+ years, but honestly no one really knows how old she is. And due to some medical mysteries, we don't believe Rosie has alot of time left.

She needs an angel.

Preferrably one that walks the earth and doesn't have other pets.

Pawspice (or Hospice) adoption is a thing. It's not for everyone -- but for some, filling the last chapter of an animal's life with care, comfort, and love is one of most gratifying experiences they'll ever have.

We can totally fill you in on the ins and outs of Rosie (including all of her health details) over the phone, but in summary, she has a good quality of life that is maintained through a special diet and a supplement or two. The rest of her happiness is managed by the presence of a human she trusts. Once you've received it, she's a magnet cat. A little grey and white shadow who always reminds you when it's time to eat. An interactive lap warmer who'll spoon you in bed at night. She has no teeth and only occasionally brushes her hair. And if you sass her, she'll sass you right back. She's everyone's grandma!

Are you in need of a cat who TRULY needs you? Have you ever wanted to be a savior to an animal? Does the idea of providing a cat with love, comfort, and care for the last months of their life make your heart swell? If so, we need you. Rosie needs you.

Additional adoption info

In response to COVID-19, and the current social distancing rules, all of our animals are now being housed in foster homes and our adoption procedures have changed. Please read the following ADOPTION STEPS on our website for further details!

**Please Note: Most of our adoptions are beginning with a foster-to-adopt period, and because of this, we are temporarily unable to consider applications from households outside the counties of: Santa Cruz, San Benito, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Monterey.

If you rent, please have a copy of your lease or a letter from your landlord that states you can have a pet(s) ready.

If you’re adopting a dog, introduce your future friend to any other dogs in the family (dog adoptions only).
