POPPY*

Meet Poppy, the `torbico` (tabby x calico) cutie! Poppy recently returned from foster care where she was growing big and strong and getting some socializaiton to prepare for adoption. Her foster reports: `They are all eating well, putting on weight, and using the litter box reliably. They are quite comfortable with us, but still hesitant to trust strangers.` Poppy would thrive with a cat savvy adopter who will let her continue to blossom at her pace. More about her: `A little bit shy but enjoys lap time once she settles down. Very active, loves to play with string toys! She also loves to chase her brother Otis around for hours. These two are close buddies, and would make a perfect pair.`On Saturday, October 31st, the Shelter is celebrating Halloween through an “Adopt Your Boo” special. This cat’s adoption fee is reduced to $31.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.
