About Whisker

Meet Whisker, the flame point Siamese mix. He entered the shelter alongside his two littermates as a timid kitten. After spending time in foster care, Whisker has blossomed into a strong little guy, ready for his forever home. Though he might be the shyest of his siblings, once he feels safe, he shows a playful side that is hard to resist. Cuddling is one of his favorite pastimes, and a gentle word from you instantly sets his purring engine in motion. Whisker is currently available for pre-adoption and will be ready to go home after his neuter surgery. Come visit him at our Santa Cruz location and see if he steals your heart! Please note that meet and greets end at 4:30 PM each day, so plan accordingly to give yourself time to meet him.
