Story

Ashlyn is a chill, lovable, and spunky young cat who brings so much personality into a room. I rescued her from our local SPCA when she was just 6 weeks old, and she has grown into an affectionate companion who loves attention and being around people. In August 2025, when Ashlyn was 11 months old, she experienced her first seizures. She was rushed to the emergency hospital for overnight care, and since then she has been under ongoing veterinary and neurology supervision. After months of medication adjustments, bloodwork, and specialist visits, she most likely has epilepsy. Her neurologist has recommended MRI and spinal tap to rule out other causes, but unfortunately those costs are beyond what I can manage. Making this decision has been extremely difficult. As a full-time student working part-time, the financial responsibility of Ashlyn’s medical care has become more than I can sustain. I love her deeply, which is why I’m searching for a home where she can continue to thrive.

Story

Meet Big Boy, the big boy of a black cat. Big Boy came to the Shelter after his previous guardians were unable to continue caring for him. He lived with two other cats and did well. With strangers, Big Boy was fearful and would hid under the bed. He did well with the 9 year old child in the home. Big Boy was indoors only in his previous home and used his litterbox reliably. Big Boy`s adoption fee is reduced by $20 thanks to the Bogey Fund - a fund that draws adopter`s eyes towards often overlooked black cats in the Shelter waiting for the purrfect home. 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.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Pepito (lynx point Siamese) & Nopalito (brown tabby), the bonded pair of boys. These boys came to the Shelter as strays after a good Samaritan found them hanging out outside a store in Watsonville. Although initially reserved, they started to let their walls down within 48 hours of arrival to the Shelter. Nopalito is the more outgoing of the two – giving elevator butt when getting scritches and purring loudly. Pepito is a bit more shy and relies on his brother for support. We anticipate these boys will continue to show their true colors after adoption and their transition to the adoptive home. Adopters should be patient in the transition and take things slow. A home with other animals may be appropriate with a slow, thoughtful introduction. Pepito and Nopalito may do well in an indoor-outdoor home after a period of acclimation to their new space. They may also be just as happy to be indoors with their people moving forward. Pepito & Nopalito, being bonded, do need to be adopted together. Their adoption fee has been sponsored by the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation`s Leave No One Behind fund - a fund that draws adopter`s eyes towards animals that have been waiting a little bit longer than average for the right adopters to come along and bring them home.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.
