NUTMEG*

Meet Nutmeg, the gray tabby and white male cat. Nutmeg came to the Shelter with experience living outdoors but has been interested in socializing with people. The catch is - he prefers it on his terms. “Pet me here, not there. Pet me only so many times. I rub against you but you don’t touch me.” Cat-savvy adopters would be key to these kitty’s success – someone who can read their body language and act accordingly. Nutmeg would thrive as an indoor kitty with a cat savvy adopter. He may enjoy a feline companion with a slow, thoughtful introduction. He may also enjoy being a social garden kitty - someone to keep you company and provide some rodent control outside. He should have a safe, secure place to hide and rest indoors. If you're looking for a little spice in your life - come to the Shelter and ask more about Nutmeg and our adoption process. 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.
