PATCHES

Meet Patches, the 2 year old Calico! Patches came to the shelter with her big brother, Bubbles, when their previous owners had to move and could not take their pets with them. Patches was described as very sweet and snuggly by her previous owner. They said she is very smart and food motivated—she loves a good treat! Patches got along well with a small breed dog in her previous home, she would play, snuggle and groom him. Patches may do well in a home with a dog-savvy cat provided they have a slow introduction. Patches loves to snuggle with Bubbles too, although her previous owner noted that she was not overly loving with other kitties. Patches and Bubbles were previously indoor-outdoor cats, but they never strayed far from home. They could be happy with a similar set up in their new home as long as they have at least a month to settle in. They could also be purr-fectly happy as indoor only kitties to keep them safe and healthy! Supervised outdoor time or a Catio setup could help ease the transition. Bubbles and Patches are a bonded pair, so to keep them together, their 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. 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.
