If you're working for home or just playing it safe by practicing social distancing, now is a perfect time to bring a new furry family member into the fold. Email us any questions about any cats we have and we will be happy to provide any additional information you may need. If you are approved for adoption, we are now doing curbside adoptions in order to minimize contact.

Hola! I am El Capitán! I am a great black mini-panther! Just kidding, I'm really a stunning solid black house cat, but in my heart I am a brave and noble panther! I am a senior kitty so I am extra wise and dignified. I enjoy the finer things in life, like sunny window sills, napping, and a delicious bowl of Fancy Feast served in crystal china like on the commercial. Oh alright, I don't really care what kind of bowl it comes in, as long as it comes! I used to be someone's pet but somehow got separated from my owner and got lost on the streets. A lot of people tried to find my former owner but they weren't able to, so I lived outside for a while with some rough and tumble street cats and got to pretend I was a wild jungle panther! But then someone picked me up and rescued me so I could live inside again and be served Fancy Feast twice per day, which is pretty awesome! I am a very mellow and relaxed kind of guy. I like to be pet and I will roll over and show you my handsome belly and ask you to pet it. I enjoy having my back scratched as well. Have I mentioned that I love Fancy Feast? I do. I am a shy kitty at first, it will take me a few days to come out of my shell for you - because wild panthers can't be too careful, you know? But after that, when I trust you, I will love you to bits! The shelter says I'm a very well behaved, nice cat. I don't scratch things up and I have nice litter box habits, and I'd be a great cat for a relatively quiet home. I do enjoy other cats, so if you have some of those I'm willing to share your house with them. I'm about 5 years young, by the way. I feel great and I have a lot of things left on my bucket list so plan to have me around for a long time yet, ok? I'm totally healthy too so don't be planning to sneak me to the vet all the time! My adoption fee is $50, unless you are also a senior citizen over 60 years, in which case my adoption fee would only be $10. (I'm a bargain!!!) I am neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, tested for FIV/FeLV, and ready to rock. If you want to come meet me, please fill out an adoption application for me by visiting www.safehousepets.org/adopt

While we try to keep our animal listings up-to-date online, sometimes the age range may be labelled incorrectly. Please don't hesitate to contact us for the most up-to-date information on a particular cat.  Our cats are shown by appointment - we are a foster based rescue and so we don't have a location with set hours.

If you are interested in adopting or would like to meet our cats, please fill out our adoption application online at www.safehousepets.org/info/adoption and a volunteer will contact you promptly.
