Guapo is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet of The Week

His name describes him.

(RCHS - Mark Viguri)

Guapo is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s a 7-year-old, 12 pound, male, Domestic Short Hair cat with a Brown and White Tabby coat. His name means “Handsome.”

Guapo was transferred from a local rescue partner through the FOCAS (Friends of County Animal Shelters) program. He was adopted, then returned when his family moved and couldn’t take him along.

His previous family said that he got along great with older kids, dogs, and other cats.

When he’s adopted, Guapo will need a safe place where he can keep an eye on his new surroundings until he feels comfortable. He will do best with someone who has experience handling cats.

The $75 adoption fee for Guapo includes medical exam, neuter, up to date vaccinations, and registered microchip. For information log on to www.SDpets.org or call 760-753-6413.
