Hi, I'm Pebbles! I know I'm still young, but for as long as I can remember, I've been dreaming about finding my purrrrever home! My friends at the shelter have done a very good job of taking care of me thus far and report that I am very sweet. Since I am still young, a home with another friendly cat might be a good fit for me so that I can learn the ins-and-outs of feline life from someone who is older and more mature than I am. If you don't have another cat, perhaps you could find it in your heart to welcome two kittens into your home and adopt my sibling Bam Bam as well! We aren't quite considered a bonded pair, but we have never been apart, and we would sure like to keep it that way! In any case, if you're looking for a tiny tiger with plenty of unique personality, come down to the shelter Wed-Sun 11-5 during Browsing Hours and meet me!

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).
