My story

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

Meet Matt, a gentle boy with a heart full of love, just waiting for the right person to help him come out of his shell. With his striking black and white coat and big, soulful eyes, he’s a handsome addition to any home. This sweet kitty has been fostering for a week and is already showing his affectionate side. Matt uses the litter box regularly and enjoys hanging out in his room, eagerly greeting his foster when the door opens.

He loves to nap in the evenings while hugging his foster, and when approached, he runs to ask for pets, stretching up to your face for attention. Matt enjoys quiet playtime and loves to eat churu treats from hand, but he prefers a calm environment and may take time to warm up to new people. Once he trusts you, he’ll share soft purrs and sweet head bumps, showing his loving nature.

Matt is looking for a loving home where someone understands that patience is key. If you’re ready to build a bond with a quiet companion, Matt could be the perfect match for you!

How to Adopt:

Take your time getting to know the animal you wish to adopt. The pet you choose should be your pet for the rest of its life, so spend the time necessary to make the right choice. Our staff is happy to assist you in taking a dog out of the kennels or socializing with a cat in the cat room. We encourage each person in your household to get acquainted with an animal before it becomes a new member of your family. We also suggest you bring your present pets in for an introduction to the new animal to form some ideas about their compatibility. Our shelter is open Tuesday through Friday, 12-5 pm and Saturdays from 10 am-5 pm. In order to complete the adoption process, it is necessary to begin adoptions by 4:30pm.

More about this shelter

Our mission is to provide animals with loving care and lasting homes, to partner with communities striving to do the same, and to advance our no-kill legacy.

We accomplish our mission by transferring cats and dogs to our facilities from public shelters in the Bay Area and beyond when they are in danger of being euthanized due to space or financial limitations.

Pets In Need has shelters in Redwood City and Palo Alto. We have owned and operated our Redwood City shelter since 1993, and in 2019 we began operating the Palo Alto Animal Shelter in partnership with the City of Palo Alto.

Pets In Need is now operating the Palo Alto Animal Shelter. The City of Palo Alto still provides Animal Control Services for the cities of Palo Alto, Los Altos, & Los Altos Hills, CA
