Story
Ashlyn deserves all the credit on her looks as grooms herself mostly and a little help from her step brother. She is as soft as cotton and doesn't shed most the time. Obviously a + for people with allergies. She loves to snuggle, eat, play, relax and a very adaptable kitty to her surrounding. Willing to travel, does fine in a carrier for travel and walks. Unfortunately, a year ago Ashlyn was diagnosed with epilepsy, and not sure what caused it, as she is perfect health otherwise. She has been seen by a neurologist and continued vet care. Currently she takes Phenobarbital and Zonisamide twice daily. She knows the drill and actually reminds me that it's time for meds. Definitely treat driven, but takes meds gracefully. Recently, I lost my job and need to relocate out of the country. I am hoping to relocate Ashlyn to her next loving home. Is that family you?

Story
Meet Cassidy, the female pastel calico. Cassidy came into the Shelter as a stray with her two kittens Watson and Sherlock. With her legal stray hold complete, Cassidy is ready to meet her adoptive family. She would likely do well in a variety of homes. Due to her light coloration, which will make her more prone to skin cancers as well as a target for predators, it would be best for Cassidy to be indoors only moving forward. She may enjoy a home other animals with a slow, thoughtful introduction.Cassidy is available for pre-adoption. Come meet her, fall in love and take her home after her spay surgery. 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

Story
Meet Lani & Luna, the adolescent kitties. Both girls were surrendered to the Shelter after the previous guardian was moving and unable to continue caring for them. Luna and Lani can be a little shy with new people but with time, comes out for attention. They have lived with young children and tolerate them but hide when they bother them. A home with children who be respectful of the cats, especially as they are getting to know the family, is recommended. Luna and Lani were indoor only and would do best with a similar set up in their adoptive home. To help keep them together, Luna & Lani’s adoption fee is 2 for 1. 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.

Story
Meet Yumi, the gorgeous tortie. Yumi came to the Shelter after her previous home was just not the right fit. Yumi is a tortie cat who has the typical torti-tude. She is usually very sweet and enjoys interaction but does sometimes get overstimulated. Overstimulation in cats is common but requires people interacting to observe the cat’s body language, especially when petting them. Tail twitches, ears rotating back and any rippling of the skin on the back can be signs that the cat is “done”. Being mindful of interactions is key to preventing a cat from tipping over from “this is nice” to “this is too much”. Yumi particularly does not enjoy restraint when being groomed or having her nails cut. Adopters should work with their veterinarian to identify ways to make these husbandry practices be fear free in nature, which will likely prevent Yumi from escalating into overstimulation. Yumi was indoors only and used her litterbox reliably. She lived with a 3 year old neutered male cat previously and enjoyed playing. Yumi prefers a home free of dogs. Yumi still has some spunky energy. She enjoys playing with toys and watching out the window. 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.
