Clarke is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet of The Week

He was in the night drop.

(RCHS)

Clarke is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s an 8 year old, 14 pound, male, Domestic Short Hair cat with a Red Tabby coat.

Someone left Clarke in the night drop at an animal shelter in Riverside County. He was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through the Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS) program.

He’s been in private foster care in the home of a trained volunteer. There are adults and teenagers living in Clarke’s foster home. Now that he knows he’s safe, he’s showing people how sweet he is.

He loves playing with his feather toy. If you put a blanket on your lap, Clarke let you wrap him up, then purr to show you that he’s a contented kitty.

The $75 adoption fee for Clarke includes medical exam, neuter, up to date vaccinations, and registered microchip. For information about Adoption by Appointment or to become a Virtual Foster log on to www.SDpets.org or call 760-753-6413.
