FUSCHIA*

My story

Meet Fuschia! This fluffy cutie came into the Shelter with a sever fracture to her right front leg. Surgery was performed to amputate her leg on 7/10. She is recovering beautifully from her surgery and is almost ready to get back to living a normal housecat life now that she is no longer walking on a painful leg. While she can play, cuddle, and use the litterbox like any other cat, it is essential that she is housed INDOORS ONLY for the rest of her life as she is not able to escape dangers such as cars, dogs, and coyotes, as well as a cat with all 4 legs. She does not need any other special activity restrictions at this time, though he will take some time getting used to a new way of walking, zooming, and playing in a larger space.Fuschia has been a little nervous but has made great strides in learning the world is not scary. She is looking for a patient adopter that will continue to work with her on confidence building and feeling safe as she transitions to her adoptive home.Her adoption fee is reduced by $20 thanks to the Bogey Fund – a fund that draws adopters eyes towards often overlooked black cats in Shelters. 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.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt FUSCHIA*, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
