Phoebe

Hello! My name is Phoebe!

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

- Meet Phoebe, a beautiful brown tabby with a larger-than-life personality and an even bigger heart.

Phoebe came to the shelter as an owner surrender and, upon arrival, it was clear she needed a little extra TLC. Staff discovered irritation on her back end and found that she was significantly overweight, weighing in at 26.6 pounds. Despite her challenges, Phoebe's journey since then has been nothing short of inspiring.

After receiving the care she needed at the shelter, Phoebe went into foster care where she was treated like the princess she truly is. With proper care, patience, and plenty of love, she began making progress toward a healthier and happier life. Her foster family helped her get back on track, and she returned to the shelter feeling much better and ready to find a forever home.

Phoebe was adopted for a time, but unfortunately, things didn't work out because she made it very clear that she prefers not to share her kingdom with other animals. Phoebe would much rather be the queen of the castle and soak up all the attention for herself.

Today, Phoebe is still continuing her weight loss journey and proving every day that she's determined to succeed. She gets around just fine and occasionally surprises everyone with quick little sprints out of her cage before settling into a sunny spot for a well-earned nap. She is affectionate, social, and wonderfully vocal, always making sure everyone knows when she's entered the room-or when she'd like a little extra attention.

Phoebe is looking for a home where she can be cherished for the special cat she is. Like many animals, she may need some time to adjust to a new environment and learn that she's safe. With patience, understanding, and lots of love, Phoebe will reward her family with endless companionship, plenty of conversation, and all the charm that makes her so unforgettable.

If you're looking for a loving companion who deserves a second chance and a throne of her own, Phoebe is ready to rule your heart.

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.

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.
