Adoption Stories
Buster
Buster came to us from Santa Cruz County Animal Services after his
guardian had sadly passed away. His guardian’s passing left Buster
traumatized, but once he had spent some time with two of our amazing
fosters, Zee (who is also our Helping Paw Coordinator) and Kristi,
Buster settled in nicely.
Buster is a mellow boy with very
soulful eyes that are bound to make everyone fall in love with him.
And that’s exactly what happened when his new mom, Nicole, saw Buster.
She simply fell in love with his sweet face and beautiful eyes.
Despite our previous concerns that Buster may be suffering from
Cushing’s disease, which requires continuous medical care, Nicole
wanted to proceed with the adoption.
Now, Buster and
Nicole are living it up together and have already developed a strong
bond. We’re also happy to report that the test for Cushing’s disease
we did for Buster came back negative. Go Buster!
Clap your
paws for this sweet pair! We’re so happy for Buster and Nicole.
Wingo Starr
Wingo Starr was found hanging out in a high school parking lot where staff called PHS/SPCA for assistance. PHS/SPCA rescue staff arrive on site and were able to safely net the bird and bringing him back to our shelter. Since his wings were clipped, we were fairly certain he was someone’s pet, but no one came forward to claim him, so he became available for adoption. When his story was shared by local news outlets, his new family saw that he was available for adoption and immediately made a trip to PHS/SPCA to adopt him. He’s living with their flock of peafowl and made an immediate connection with their peahen. They have been sitting together and their peahen has been preening Wingo Starr.
Koa and Kaleo
Koa and Kaleo, now called Posey and Drake, were rescued before they even made an appearance in the world! Their mom was rescued by a good Samaritan who saw some kids trying to stuff her down a storm drain! After no owner could be located and quickly figuring out the kitty was pregnant, Compassionate Pet Sanctuary stepped in. The mama cat has been spayed and the Good Samaritan who saved her has adopted her; meanwhile her two kittens Koa and Kaleo scored big time, going to a loving family where they can be together forever.
