About Forest

Forest has just arrived at The Montecito Pet Shop on the Mesa, and he’s ready to start the next chapter of his life. This little guy was found living in a parking lot next to one of Santa Barbara's busiest streets. A caring woman provided food for him, his mom, and siblings, but his luck changed when he bravely dashed across Carillo Street, where a passerby noticed him and stopped traffic to rescue him. Now, Forest is a healthy and friendly kitten, enjoying his time with three little girl kittens who became his friends. He's had a vet exam, is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready to find a home where he can thrive. Forest gets along well with both cats and children, making him a great fit for a loving family. Come meet this affectionate and playful kitten at RESQCATS in Santa Barbara. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
