Winnie is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

She had babies.

Winnie is a 2-year-old, 6-pound, female, Domestic Long Hair cat with a Brown Tabby coat.

She was found in a shed with her litter of kittens. They were taken to a shelter in Orange County, then transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS.)

The little family went into foster care with trained Rancho Coastal Humane Society volunteers. Her foster says Winnie likes being handled, and she likes it when you pet her. Her new family will need to introduce her slowly and let her adjust at her own pace.
