Benito's Story

Benito was transferred to Valley Humane on 2/10 from the Tri City Animal Shelter. He is a young adult (estimated to be between 1 and 4 years old) and weighs 9.1 pounds. Benito arrived at VHS with inflammation of the gums in his mouth (stomatitis). Stomatitis is believed to be an allergic response to plaque in the mouth. Unfortunately, for many cats, the only long term treatment for this condition is extraction of the teeth caudal to (behind) the canine teeth. We have extracted the teeth, and are hopeful that the inflammation resolves completely. However, if the stomatitis does not resolve entirely, it could be possible that he could require extraction of the remaining canine and incisor teeth sometime in the future. If the adopting family's veterinarian feels that remaining tooth extraction is required, it will be up to the adopting family to pursue this treatment. Do you have questions about this animal or are you ready to take the next step to adoption?

We are looking forward to hearing from you! https://valleyhumane.org/adopt/adoption/

Pleasanton Valley Humane Society's Adoption Policy

How It Works Potential adopters can read an animal’s profile to determine if the pet would be a good fit for their home and lifestyle. Copy and paste the application URL from the animal’s profile or click to apply. Once the application is received, an adoption counselor will call to discuss the match. Be ready to answer the call from Valley Humane as soon as your application is submitted. Animals shown on our website are ready to go home. We typically schedule an adoption appointment within 24-48 hours of approving an application where you can meet the pet and complete paperwork. Once you’ve decided a pet is the right fit for your family, the adoption counselor will walk you through our adoption agreement. All pertinent medical information will be provided to you, as well as a take-home packet including information on feeding your new pet. We will also verify that the animals’ microchip is accurate and prepare them for travel. Finally, we will collect the adoption fee. Please allow approximately one hour to complete the adoption process. After taking a quick picture to share on social media (optional, of course!), you’re ready to head home and start enjoying life with your new friend
