Alfalfa - Domestic Short Hair Cat Available for Adoption in Corpus Christi, Texas

Alfalfa is a beautiful one-year-old black female cat who was raised here at our shelter from the time she was a tiny baby. She grew up safe, loved, and cared for by our staff until she was eventually adopted into what we hoped would be her forever home.

Months later, our hearts were shattered when we discovered Alfalfa abandoned outside of our shelter in a small fabric carrier in the burning Texas heat. She had been left alone terrified and trapped in the sun. By the time we found her, she was dehydrated, hyperthermic, frightened, and completely confused. We have filed a police report for animal cruelty regarding what was done to this sweet girl.

Since returning to the shelter, Alfalfa has slowly been healing. Her body has recovered, but emotionally she is still heartbroken and learning how to trust again after being abandoned by the people she loved. Despite everything she has been through, she remains a gentle and deserving cat who simply wants to feel safe again.

Alfalfa is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for a truly loving forever home -- one where she will never again be hurt, abandoned, or treated as disposable. She deserves a family who understands that animals are for life and who will give her the safety and love she has always deserved.
