T-REX*

Meet T-Rex, the 6 month old gray kitten. T-Rex came into the Shelter as a stray. Someone had been feeding her but noticed that she had some medical concerns with her leg. They were concerned for her safety long term so they brought her to the Shelter. At the Shelter, T-Rex was evaluated by our clinic team. She has some abnormalities to her front left leg (missing toes and abnormal wrist conformation). She may have been born this way or an early life injury. Her front left leg does not move normally but she is comfortable and able to do all kitty things like running, playing and using her litterbox. For her safety, she should not be allowed outdoors in uncontained spaces like a catio as she is unable to avoid dangers like the typical cat. T-Rex can be a little bit shy when first meeting people but is food motivated. She would thrive with a patient, cat savvy adopter who will give her the time and patience to acclimate to her new home. A home with other cats may be a fit with a slow, thoughtful introduction. We do not have any history of T-Rex with children or dogs. T-Rex's adoption fee has been sponsored by the Santa Cruz 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. 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.
