Roxy, Domestic Shorthair For Adoption In Santa Cruz, California

Location:

Santa Cruz, CA

Description:

WEIGHT: ~8lbsRoxy is a playful, people-oriented cat. She likes being around and interacting with her human, enjoying pets, games (chasing balls!), or just sitting nearby.Roxy was surrendered by her owner because he was seriously ill. Turns out, she was also suffering from a history of breathing difficulty that led us/her right to the veterinary exam table. X-rays showed textbook indicators that Roxy had Feline Asthma. Roxy is now in foster, where she is doing great. Her foster mom reports that Roxy settled in very quickly, coming out of her safe little kitty cave for pets within the first day. She has learned to accept an asthma inhaler once a day (especially when it is followed by a couple of delicious treats!) and her asthma is well-controlled. She hasn't shown any symptoms of asthma while on the inhaler. Roxy can be a little shy and even a little growly/hissy with strangers at first. But she usually gets over that pretty quickly, giving out head bumps within a few minutes. She is an alert and active little girl who is very interested what is going on around her. She always greets her foster mom when her mom walks into the room. Like some dogs, she can be a bit "mouthy" when being petted, sometimes giving "love bites." She is very gentle when she does so.Her previous owner says she liked dogs, but was not too thrilled about other cats. In short, Roxy is a Very Good Girl and deserves an angel. Someone who feels drawn by the soul coming through those green-gold eyes and wants a best kitty buddy, even if a kitty inhaler comes with the gorgeous, affectionate package.Adoption processIn response to COVID-19, and the current social distancing rules, all of our animals are now being housed in foster homes and our adoption procedures have changed. Please read the following ADOPTION STEPS on our website for further details! **Please Note: Most of our adoptions are beginning with a foster-to-adopt period, and because of this, we are temporarily unable to consider applications from households outside the counties of: Santa Cruz, San Benito, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Monterey. If you rent, please have a copy of your lease or a letter from your landlord that states you can have a pet(s) ready. If you’re adopting a dog, introduce your future friend to any other dogs in the family (dog adoptions only).Shelter locationSee our adoptable pets online! www.spcasc.org Hours: CLOSED due to Shelter-in-Place until further notice.
