Adopt a Cat
They’re cute, they’re cuddly…they couldn’t care less what we think! Life with a feline friend can be entertaining, exciting, and ever so rewarding. Cats are playful and particular, purring powerhouses of love and affection, whether classically mysterious and sphinx-like or goofy as a puppy. Find yourself a feline friend today!
Adopt a Dog
Man’s best friend. They’ve been there for us practically since time began, at our side, in our homes…counting on us to accept (and return) the love and affection they consistently offer. Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, each one able to wag, wriggle, or worm their way into our hearts. Discover a dog that delights you today!

Adoptable Spotlight: Benito the Bonito Cat
Benito has ojitos lindos, a laid-back personality, and a purr that makes the aunties ask why he hasn’t been adopted yet. This sweet black cat came to Valley Humane with a health challenge, got the care he needed, and is ready to find his forever home.
Valley Humane Co-sponsored Bill Introduced by Senator Laird
Valley Humane Society today praised State Senator John Laird (D-Santa Cruz) for introducing SB 1288, a landmark bill co-sponsored by CalNonprofits, Valley Humane Society, and San Diego Humane Society. The legislation establishes clear, fair, and consistent standards to ensure charitable gifts left to nonprofits are distributed promptly and without unnecessary administrative barriers that too often delay or obstruct donor intent.
