Kitten season is kicking into full force and our cat room is brimming with furry feline festivities! When you walk in, any number of kitten litters will be hanging upside down from their canopies, tossing around toy mice, and wrestling from one end of the cage to another.
The kitten you see in the photo is Shadow, an 8-week-old Domestic Shorthair with a beautiful blue coat. He’s part of a litter of five that are currently adoptable at the Santa Cruz SPCA. These kittens were rescued at five weeks old after their mother was poisoned. In loving foster homes, they were bottle fed and socialized until they reached adoptable age. That time is now folks, so come on down and meet these sweeties!
There are multiple litters of kittens available for adoption and they range in color and fur length, but they all share the characteristic of cute! Kittens are many times a wonderful fit in homes where there are other adult cats, dogs and children as they acclimate to change quickly and are at the peak of social-ability.
Kitten adoption fees are $150 and include their spay/neuter, microchip, first vaccinations, deworming, flea-treatment and a free carrier. The Santa Cruz SPCA is a 501c3 charitable organization and receives no government funding, relying solely on public donations to run its many programs that benefit the animals and people of our community.
