Kittens and puppies galore are available for adoption

The Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary takes in rescues year-round and, as spring finally comes to Fallbrook, there are plenty of animals that still need loving homes. Last month’s cat spotlight on Ari and Andrew resulted in them being adopted to loving homes; Maya, one of the featured dogs, was adopted as well. Twyla and Meadow are still waiting for their forever home, so reach out to the FAS for more information about them at https://fallbrookanimalsanctuary.org/ or by call or text at 760-685-3533.

In January, Opal was featured to be adopted. She had just given birth to kittens, and the animal sanctuary was waiting to test them for Feline Leukemia Virus, which Opal tested positive for when she was taken in. All five of the kittens did test positive; however, they are still able to live a long, happy, and otherwise healthy life if they are the only cats in the house. All the kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and had a vet examination this week, March 26.

The kittens are available for adoption or long-term foster care. Due to them being FLV positive, they must be indoor cats and the only cats in the house. With two pairs, Mosaic and Cali, Belle and Pliny, and one kitten best adopted alone, Luna, there are plenty of opportunities for your family to adopt one (or two) kittens. Long term foster care means you provide your home and love to these playful kittens and FAS will provide everything else, from food to vet care.

The next spotlight is on two puppies, Noelle and Gracie. Both born to Rosie, who is also up for adoption, they would love to be in a home that’s prepared for a big dog. Both were born Dec. 24 and are ready for adoption. Their owners must match their energy, be prepared for puppy training, and available to stay home with their new companion. Puppies naturally go well with any other dogs you have in your household, but can easily get on an older dog’s nerves, so consider the personality of the pets you already have before introducing an excitable puppy into the house.

Rosie is around 18 months old and loves to play with a ball. She’s relatively calm but would love to be taken out regularly to the park or live in a house with a large backyard so she can run. A family with up-and-coming baseball players would love her, as her favorite playtime activity is with a ball. Although she is not aggressive around cats, be sure to exercise caution when introducing them.

FAS has raised funds through Giving Tuesday to provide Fallbrook with four free SNAP clinics. SNAP is an excellent resource to use when looking into caring for your own pets, as they provide free spaying, neutering, immunizations and more.
