Petunia

Hello! My name is Petunia!

Here’s what my friends at Española Humane say about me:

- Petunia is a delightful 6-month-old shorthaired all-black cat with a heart full of sweetness. Unlike the other two cats she came in with, who were a bit nervous and shy, Petunia immediately showcased her friendly personality by running to the front of the kennel, eagerly seeking attention from everyone who passed by.

This charming little lady is not just a social butterfly; she also has a nurturing side. You can often find her snuggling with her companions in the kennel, spreading warmth and comfort. Petunia gets along wonderfully with other cats and loves to be part of the group.

If you're looking for a loving and affectionate companion who brings joy and a friendly spirit to any home, Petunia is ready to fill your life with happiness!

If you’re interested in adopting me, fill out an application to get a jump start on the process! We don’t offer holds on shelter pets, so c’mon in to meet and greet to decide if you’ve met your match. Applications for pets in foster care, at Ojo Santa Fe, or offsite in other programs will be reviewed by staff before appointments are scheduled.

Española Humane

Española Humane offers free services and innovative programs to help suffering pets in underserved communities. For over three decades, we have managed an open-door shelter that welcomes every animal without charge because we believe the most humane approach is to never turn away an animal in need.  Spay/neuter access is critical to our mission, and our clinic is completely free to pets in Española, Rio Arriba County, and the surrounding Pueblos.

We’re determined to make a lasting difference and to squeeze every penny out of each donated dollar: 89% of your gift goes directly to the animals.

Latest Mews that’s Begging for Attention.

Become a foster superhero.

Fostering can be as easy as having a litter of young ones in a spare bathroom before they go to an adoption event. Or, maybe you’d like an adult to spend time with your family, just to see how that pet transforms with a little love and attention. We promise it’ll be rewarding.

Join our team of volunteers

Volunteers help every facet of our work, from support at the shelter to helping with adoption events to assistance with animal transport. We provide the training and the welcoming environment. Meet new people, learn new skills, and feel good about helping animals.

Need help finding your pet?

80% of pets are found within a mile of where they went missing. Start searching right away and use printed flyers so people can call you with sightings. An ID tag or microchip will make it a lot easier to find your pet. Hopefully, they’ve already been found and are at our shelter.
