SERENA* - Abyssinian and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Santa Cruz, California

Serena is a sweet, social little lovebug who is quick to purr when petted. She loves climbing into a warm lap, investigating every inch of her home, and showing off her acrobatic kitten antics. Smart, curious, and playful, Serena enjoys toy mice, wand toys, and romping around with her sister, Maya. Serena is available for pre-adoption. Come meet her, fall in love and take her home after her spay surgery. Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end “meet and greets” (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day.
