Cactus is currently in foster care and ready for adoption via our virtual process! Cactus, a three-year-old female, Cactus blossomed so much over time! "Within the first couple days she was loving pets, starting to play after that, and exploring all over the place after a week. She has gotten very comfortable.". Here’s what we know so far about her time in foster care: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:f8646dab-47e7-4792-becb-… Her foster says she is sweet and gentle. She enjoys being pet "With a quiet place to decompress and some space of her own Cactus opened up quickly over the first couple of days and in less than a week was eager to explore, play, and interact more. Giving her the chance to come to you will tell her she’s safe and she’ll warm up quickly. She is the Queen of air biscuits and does the cutest little stompies with her front feet when standing and receiving pets/purring. Physically her eyes are so big, pretty, and trusting! Cactus is very curious and though she is quiet she still loves getting pets, playing, and exploring. Watching her play with toys is the cutest. When standing and happy, Cactus does the cutest little stompies with her front feet. And she is always purring! " She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has had preventative treatments to ensure she is ready for her next steps.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
