About Coal

Coal is leaning a little to the right, as if to say, “Are you looking at me? I hope so because I’m ready to rock and roll with you!” This sleek boy has golden eyes, but there’s more to him than just good looks. Filled with kitten energy, watching him play is a delight. Yet, he also shows a gentle side and seems destined to be someone’s new best friend. Once facing uncertain odds, Coal was rescued from a high-kill shelter alongside his mom, Sasha, and siblings. Fortunately, they came under the care of RESQCATS and a loving foster mom who nurtured them back to health. Now, Coal is ready to share all that love with you. He has had a vet exam, is tested for Felv/FIV (his mother is negative), received his first FVRCP vaccination, and is neutered and microchipped. You can meet and adopt this charming little guy through RESQCATS at The Montecito Pet Shop on the Mesa, located at 2020 Cliff Drive in Santa Barbara, CA. Their phone number is (805)965-6780, and adoption hours are Monday-Saturday from 10-5 and Sunday from 10-3! Get ready for a life full of joy, laughter, and companionship with Coal.
