Help Us Find Pino a Home!

By Humane Society of Ventura County

Pino is a sweet Queen mama cat who arrived at the shelter in a box this summer with her five kittens after being abandoned in a parking lot. They were rescued by a loving family and were immediately placed in a foster home for several months. Pino proved to be an attentive, vigilant, loving mama to her baby cats- all who’ve since been adopted into their furever homes. Now it’s Pino’s turn to meet her pawsome people and live in a safe, loving home!
