The Humane Society of Ventura County is a compassionate care shelter and non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and adoption of animals in need throughout Ventura County.
Spring is here and we all know what that means……KITTIES! There are many homeless cats on the prowl and we are often asked how to tell the difference between “feral” cats and “stray” cats in your neighborhood. Knowing how to tell the difference can help inform you how best to interact with a cat or what type of intervention would be in the cat’s best interest.
Sweet Sam was rescued by our Humane Officers on March 12th and has been thriving at the shelter ever since. This 2 year old male, Maltese mix, is going to need a loving family with the time and motivation to give young Sam all the training he will require.
Are you on the lookout for not one, but two charming cats to make your house a home? Notes and Little Boy, two brothers, are a bonded pair that were surrendered to the shelter in the beginning of March. These two sweethearts are very friendly and enjoy a good cuddle.
Meet the Flintstones! Wilma, Betty, Pebbles, Hanna, Pearl, Fred, and Barney were born on March 25th. Their mother, Foxy, was brought to the shelter as a stray mid March. It was clear that she was full term pregnant and not long after her arrival she gave birth to 5 healthy girls and 2 healthy boys.
Easter Sunday is this weekend and many people are looking forward to spending some quality time with family. Some families have little ones that are excited to go hunting for Easter eggs and maybe even receive some gifts!
Rosie, a beautiful tortie, was abandoned at the shelter all the way back in October. On sunny days you can find Rosie laying around in our outdoor adult cat room where she lives with up to 15 other cats at any one time!
Congratulations to sweet Foxy who gave birth to seven beautiful puppies on March 26th! Foxy was brought to the shelter as a stray not long ago. It was clear that she was full term pregnant and not long after her arrival she gave birth to 5 girls and 2 boys.
