*Horchata is temporarily living in a foster home until they find their family. If you would like to meet Horchata, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our Adoptions Specialists, so we can ensure they are here to meet you when you arrive. Please click “Adopt Horchata” to complete an interest survey and one of our Adoptions Specialists will connect with you to set up an appointment!* Horchata is a beautiful 1-year-old brown tabby with the sweetest disposition and a heart full of love. She’s friendly, gentle, and always ready for affection — even while she’s recovering from a serious back leg injury. Right now, Horchata is healing well, but her leg may still need to be amputated in the future. Don’t worry — she’s a trooper, and cats adapt incredibly well! Our team will cover the cost of the procedure if it becomes necessary, and Horchata will go on to live a happy, active, and love-filled life no matter what. Despite everything she’s been through, Horchata remains affectionate and trusting. She’s the kind of cat who leans into pets and looks at you with soft, grateful eyes. If you’re ready to open your heart to a brave, loving girl who’s overcome so much, Horchata would love to be your new best friend.

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.
