Cool Cat That's Good With Kids and Other Cats Up For Adoption In San Diego

Meet Chris, a 1-1/2-year-old, 7-pound, male, Domestic Short Hair cat with a Buff and White Tabby coat who is up for adoption at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society.

Chris is a cool cat, but a little bit shy until he feels comfortable with his surroundings. Before he was transferred to us, he lived in a big room with several other cats at the previous shelter. He seems to be fine around kids.

Chris was transferred from a crowded animal shelter in Riverside County through the Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS) program.

He’s a little reserved when he comes out to greet people. But it doesn’t take long for him to relax and play with his cat wand. Chris could live with kids and other cats. Learn more about him HERE.

The $100 adoption fee for Chris includes medical exam, neuter, up to date vaccinations, and registered microchip. For information about Adoption or to become a Virtual Foster call 760-753-6413, visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas, log on to www.SDpets.org.

Open 11 to 4 Friday through Monday, and Wednesday and Thursday by appointment.

A generous animal lover is offering to give your Rancho Coastal Humane Society $100,000 to help the people and pets we serve. All he asks is for other animal lovers to match it. During the Spring Challenge…every dollar donated up to $100,000 will be matched.

Each week our PAWS program introduces you to a lovable animal who needs a new home. PAWS is sponsored by Nick Adamo's Farmers insurance Agency. Nick Adamo is a huge dog lover and animal advocate. For the past 10 years, he has supported local humane society’s efforts in helping get animals adopted through Pet of the Week programs. Additionally, he has hosted and participated in many fundraising events including Paws in the Park, Dogs Golf Tournament that matches military veterans with service dogs and more. He started partnering with Rancho Coastal Humane Society 7 years ago because RCHS’ main goal is to encourage the adoption of animals into permanent, loving homes. RCHS’ adoption process is tailored to find the best match between people and pets and also promote humane ideals through education and community outreach pets and people.

If you have adopted a pet during COVID and are heading back to work, Rancho Coastal Humane Society has some helpful tips.

  • Help your pet adjust to your changing schedule. Begin by leaving your pet alone in a “Retreat Area” for a few minutes. Turn on some music or the TV. Every time you do this, increase your pet’s time alone.
  • Particularly with a new pet who you’ve never left alone before, watch for Separation Distress including destructive behaviors. Give them something to do, like a toy or a treat puzzle.
  • Older pets who have adjusted to your stay-at-home schedule might be more “needy.” Be patient. Give them lots of reassurance that everything is going to be okay.
  • If your dog has gotten used to 8 or 10 walks per day because you had nothing else to do, start cutting back. You can go for a walk without your pet. You still get your exercise, but it helps the pet adjust to the fact that things are changing.
