This helps San Diego Humane Society - Oceanside Campus (Cats and Small Animals) with pet care costs.
How this pet arrived:
Lumen and Tanooki were brought in by their previous owner on August 29, 2025.
Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Tanooki (#964474) and Lumen (#964473), a sweet bonded pair of cats who must go home together. These two are inseparable and share a special connection, bringing double the companionship to the right family. Both can be shy and a bit fearful when first settling in, so patience and understanding are essential. A quiet home without dogs or children will help them feel safe and secure. The key to helping Tanooki and Lumen acclimate is starting them in a safe room. This calm, controlled space allows them to build trust at their own pace. Low-pressure interactions-gentle visits, food, delicate play, and treats-along with plenty of cozy hiding spots will help them blossom. Once comfortable, their personalities really come out. Tanooki is a certified snack detective with a nose for food and a talent for stealing it - no crumb is safe! He firmly believes all snacks are his snacks, so no hand-feeding for this little rascal, and be sure to keep food tucked away and secure. Lumen is his devoted partner-in-crime, usually nearby and happy just enjoying his company. Progress may take time, but patient adopters will be rewarded with the joy of watching these two grow more confident every day. When it's time for their journey home, please remember to bring two top-loading carriers to make travel smooth and stress-free for this lovable duo!
At SDHS:
Lumen has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for adoption!
Shy/Fearful Cat:Lumen requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about her.
