My name is RIN TIN*!

Meet Rin Tin, the black and white beefy boy! Rin Tin came into the Shelter in a feral trap and was initially reserved. Staff started to see some glimmers that this big boy was not feral but in fact, a scared boy. After a period of decompression, he has been enjoying pets all over his face, neck and back , making biscuits and eating treats. Rin Tin may take some time to transition to his new home and people but we anticipate that with time and patience, this guy will continue to show his true self. A home with another cat may be a fit after a slow, thoughtful introduction. After a period of acclimation, Rin Tin may acclimate to a home as an indoor/outdoor cat OR he may enjoy being an indoor house panther moving forward.

Rin Tin`s adoption fee has been sponsored by a good samaritan!

Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end “meet and greets” (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If you’d like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.
