My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

HISTORY:   LAGUNA and his sister, CIENEGA were trapped at a mobile home park in Santa Fe County during a TNR project in 2020. LAGUNA was adopted in early 2023 but returned when he grew fearful of other pets in his new home.
TEMPERAMENT: LAGUNA was quite shy as a kitten but blossomed into a social boy at Santa Fe Cats. He very much enjoys attention and treats and being the first to say hello to staff and volunteers. LAGUNA enjoyed spending time with friends in a home setting, including head rubs, lap time, and batting at wand toys. Although he gets along with other cats at our shelter, LAGUNA can be afraid of other pets that do not welcome his presence. He may fare best if adopted as a solo cat, at least initially.

More about this rescue

Felines & Friends is dedicated to rescuing and placing pets in need of a second chance; working towards zero pet overpopulation by facilitating low-cost spay/neuter; and improving the lives of both companion animals and their owners through on-going education.

In recent years, significant strides have been made in reducing the euthanasia rate of dogs and cats all across the nation. FELINES & FRIENDS plays an important role in this effort by supporting community TNR efforts, spaying/neutering and then rehoming unaltered stray and surrendered cats, and (through collaboration with local shelters) rehoming otherwise homeless or special needs cats and kittens. Since its formation in 2002, FELINES & FRIENDS has gained a reputation in Northern New Mexico for its proactive work in the pairing of cats and their humans. To date, we have placed over 6,000 cats (and dogs) into loving homes.

FELINES & FRIENDS utilizes a comprehensive adoption screening process to enhance the fit between pet and their adoptive family. The organization also maintains a strict return policy if ownership commitment cannot be met.
