My story

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

How this pet arrived:
Black Bear was brought in by a community member on August 15, 2025.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Black Bear! This gentle soul is a shy kitty who will need a patient adopter willing to provide him with a safe, quiet space to adjust at his own pace. Once he feels comfortable, he loves receiving back rubs and paw massages. He is a very sweet boy who will gently ask for pets and make biscuits when he's extra happy. Black Bear is blind and has no teeth, so he will do best in a calm home where his environment stays consistent. He is also living with kidney disease, so his future family should be prepared to monitor his lab work and keep an eye on any changes in his health with the help of their veterinarian. Black Bear may have some special needs, but he has plenty of love and affection to share! If you're ready to open your heart and home to this sweet boy, he's sure to reward you with loyal companionship. Come on in to learn more about him today!

At SDHS:
Black Bear has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home!

Our lifesaving safety net has helped San Diego become the largest city in the U.S. to keep healthy and treatable shelter animals from being euthanized. We are a private, independent, nonprofit organization that is not affiliated with any other humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
