Description

Meet the Tree kittens! These kittens arrived to the Shelter really fearful and unsure. They had grown up on a property with their parents, after being a product of an unplanned litter. The property owner was concerned for their safety being little kittens exposed to wildlife and cars so they brought them to the Shelter. The Tree kittens are still a bit nervous but slowly learning that humans are friends through play and positive interaction (lots of Churru treats). Ideal adopters for them will be cat savvy and patient in the transition. These kittens will likely thrive as a companion to outgoing resident cats who will show them that the world is not so scary. Although they have experience outdoors, for their health and safety (as well as our local wildlife’s safety), it is required they are indoors only moving forward. A catio set up could be a great middle ground where the kittens can have outdoor enrichment. The tree kittens are available for pre-adoption. Come meet them, fall in love and take them home after their spay and neuter surgeries. 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.
