Santa Monica City Council Highlighted Pet

During 2023 our wonderful Mayor Gleam Davis highlighted an available pet at every city council meeting. But, when her term was up the City Council stopped highlighting the animals at the shelter. If they resume we will post the highlighted pets here as we did before. But, you can still help by adopting, sponsoring any of the available pets or by shopping the Chewy wish list.

Some Previously Highlighted Pets

Mittens

12.12.23-The Santa Monica City Council meeting highlighted Mittens:

Hi! My name is Mittens! I am a 2-year-old neutered male Tuxedo cat, and I've been at the Santa Monica Animal Shelter since September. I am very confident and adventurous. I love to be involved in whatever you are doing.

While I like humans, I do not like other animals and would prefer to be an only pet. I have become a shelter favorite, and any of the staff members would love to tell you all about how great I am! If you think we would be a good match, please come visit me!

Update:
