Black and white cat

Tucker is a playful and friendly black and white cat who would

prefer to have an indoor/outdoor home. His charming, laid-back

personality may remind you of a neighborhood cat that you once knew

and loved.

Tucker is a “good citizen,” and rescuers asked the Community

Animal Network for assistance in helping six cats that were left

behind when hard times led to an eviction of their family. The

animals needed veterinary treatment and new homes, and in exchange

for our support the rescuers agreed to house the animals until

permanent homes could be found.

Unfortunately, Tucker has exhausted his rescuers’ commitment to

us. His crying indicates his unhappiness about being confined to the

small bathroom that he must call home. Because most of our foster

home families want to have their children experience small kittens,

we have fewer people willing to help adult animals and even fewer

people living in coyote-free areas that can accommodate Tucker’s need

to be indoor/outdoor animal.

Can anyone help Tucker? Tucker needs to be rescued again, we hope

someone will provide a safe indoor/outdoor home. Call (949) 697-6632

to help Tucker.

Halloween safety tips for animals: Dogs that could feel threatened

by scary costumes should be kept away from the trick or treat

activities. Because young people enjoy pranks and often have a group

mentality on Halloween, cats of all colors should be kept indoors.

Keep cats close at home.
