About Willow (American Shorthair) in Santa Cruz, CA 95062

Willow is waiting for you at Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter in Santa Cruz, CA 95062. Meet Willow, the gorgeous white cat. Willow arrived to the Shelter after her previous household and set up just wasn’t the best fit for her. Willow is a shy gal who needs a patient, cat-savvy environment and adopter to help her acclimate. She experience being around cats as well as cat-savvy dogs in her previous home. A home with other animals may be a fit with a slow, thoughtful introduction. Willow’s previous guardian reports that Willow tends to meow whenever she wants something – to play, cuddles in bed, and when it’s time for wet food (she knows the time down to the minute). She tends to be skittish around men in particular. Once she is sure of someone, she is a sweetheart. She tends to gravitate towards calm women. She doesn’t love to be held but will let out loud purrs when being pet. Some of her favorite things are being near her person (by your knee or shoulder) and ribbon-style toys to play with. Willow has been indoors and would be best to continue that in her next home. A home without children is recommended for this sensitive soul. 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. If you’d like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.
