Help Humane Society of Ventura County by donating

My name is Rafiki and I came to the Humane Society in June of 2011. I am an 11 year young blue point Showshoe. I am one of the most affectionate cats you will ever meet. I love to cuddle in your lap and lounge in the sun in the outside cat enclosure in Cat Haven. To live a long, happy and healthy life I would like to go to a home where I could be an indoor only cat.

My name is Fu Manchu and I came to the shelter back in February of 2011. I am a smooth coated Chihuahua mix. My family at the shelter doesn’t understand why I am still here. I am sweet, housebroken and love to be around all different types of people. I enjoy going for walks with the volunteers and playing with my other Chihuahua friends. I would make a great companion dog!

Hello, my name is Magoo and I am a 7 year old Pomeranian. My family at the shelter say that I am very loving fun to be around. I like other animals, children and adults alike. I am housebroken and like to curl up on your lap. However, I do like to chase cats so a home with cats might not be the best fit.

Hi, my name is Harvey and I am a 7 year young Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix. I am very playful, loving, housebroken and full of spunk. I would do great in a house with other animals or with someone who could spend some time with me.

My name is Kitty and I am an 11 year young Maine Coon. I love spending my days basking in the sun at the Humane society and snuggling up in the blankets on colder days. I am an aloof kitty that seeks out attention when the world around me is quite. I would do great in household with seniors and my adoption fee is only $75.
