Due to a high volume of kittens and cats in the shelter, SCCAS wants to ensure that these healthy, adoptable pets are offered a second chance to find a new forever home.

“Adopting a shelter animal not only saves a life, it also opens up precious space in our shelters for Santa Cruz County’s neediest animals,” said Melanie Sobel, general manager for Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter. “We are asking community members to consider a shelter cat as the next addition to their household.”
