READ STORY FIRST Canteena INDOOR ONLY Domestic Short Hair Mix Stockton, CA

Meet Canteena! Canteena was rescued as a small kitten from a prison parking lot. Despite her rough beginning, she enjoys playing and cuddling like any other kitten. She is learning to socialize with dogs and set gentle limits with them. Any adopter with dogs must be cat friendly. She has a beautiful velvety coat and expressive face. She vocalizes to request attention from her person and enjoys being held. Canteena suffered some sort of episode in Christmas Eve of 2021 which rendered her paralyzed at first on the back end. It was unclear if it was a stroke, injury, or a viral infection. Canteena was treated for FIP as a means to help her. She did improve dramatically and it is unclear if the improvement was a result of the treatment. Canteena can walk fine but does dribble urine sometimes and requires a bath at least every couple days She would do well in a home where she will get daily play and petting. If you think your home would be a good fit for Canteena and you can provide her a 100% indoor only life, please submit an application today!

All Second Chance Kitty cats are free fed a quality dry food with low or no grain and are STRICTLY INDOOR ONLY. Studies have proven cats live longer, healthier lives and on average require less financial burdens at veterinary offices when they are kept indoor only. There are so many predators out there, both human and animal and it is sadly unsafe to let them roam unattended.

All of our babes come altered, microchipped, vaccinated, rabies (if age appropriate), FeLV/FIV negative unless stated otherwise , dewormed, flea treated, litter box trained and full of love. Our adoption fees are a minimum $150 donation. Anything beyond $150 helps rescue another babe.

Adoption isn't an impulsive decision, it must be thought out carefully. Owning a cat is a 15 to 20+ year commitment. Can we afford a cat? If we're renting do they allow pets here? Is there a pet deposit? Can we afford the pet deposit? What if we get sick, what if the kitty becomes ill and has to see a veterinarian? Kitty requires routine check-ups, annual vaccines, quality food, litter and toys, can we afford this? These are all questions a responsible pet owner must ask themselves.
