A333456
Located At: Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter - Santa Cruz
Description: Staff named me Latke* and I am an unaltered male, gray and white Domestic Shorthair.
Age: The shelter staff think I am about 10 weeks old.
More Info: I have been at the shelter since Aug 19, 2026.
You may adopt me as soon as I am spayed or neutered!
Meet Latke, one of three of the Potato kittens. Latke went to foster with colds and attitude. They've mostly gotten over both and are looking to find their forever homes where they can continue to grow and learn how awesome humans can be.
These brothers love to snuggle and nap in assorted pairs (no one seems especially bonded), then when they’re done napping they love to run around, climb, watch birds, and play/wrestle with each other and toys. They've shown a little interest (no fear) in the adult cats in their foster home and might do well as a younger sibling to another confident cat who needs a friend and playmate. While they still may shy away from an approaching human/hand, they have made great strides and will likely continue to grow more confident with the support of an understanding human family.
Latke is looking for an indoor only home where he can be safe and thrive as he ages. A home with other animals may be a fit with a slow, thoughtful introduction.
Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end “meet and greets” (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If you’d like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.
