Sara came to the Coronado Animal Care Facility (ACF) earlier this year on April 8th. Sara and her three kittens were found in an alley by a local resident who took pity on the young mother and her babies.

Sara is a young cat, about 1-1/2 years old. She has huge, golden-green eyes that are extremely expressive. They show her excitement when you enter her room as she runs up to you, looks you straight in the eye and meows her hello.

Early on, Sara was a little misunderstood. Still fresh from giving birth and nursing her kittens, she seemed unsure of other female cats. So, she was put in one of the single rooms, where she lived for many months.

The staff and volunteers started to feel sorry for her as it appeared that she was lonely. So everyone brain-stormed and plans were made.

Sara was introduced to Maverick and Dallas – two male teens. Although they have bonded and been together for a few months now, they are not from the same litter and are a month apart in age. But the positive energy in their relationship has a calming effect on every cat and kitten they meet and Sara was no exception.

In short order, Sara easily accepted the friendship of Maverick and Dallas and they get along splendidly. Sara plays with them, bathes them and sleeps with them.

They have been such a good influence that when they were moved to the front cat community room, Sara didn’t balk at all at living with the kittens Mowgli, Molly and Abel.

Still, as nice as they all get along, Sara is more than ready for her forever home. The ACF is a wonderful facility, but it is not the same as living with people in a loving home.

Do you have room in your heart and home for the luminous Sara?

Come meet Sara at the ACF any day (except holidays) between 9am and 4pm. If you have any questions, please call Bob, a cat adoption counselor, at 619-840-9727.

Coronado is a pet loving community with a wonderful population of cats and kittens. Walking is a pleasant past time in Coronado and you will meet friendly cats on most every street out in front of their homes. Or you may spy indoor only cats sitting on windowsills or in doorways.

But, not every cat in Coronado has a home – some have been abandoned, some are born without a home and some have never known a home. Many of these cats are brought into the Coronado Animal Care Facility (ACF) where their health is assessed, they are vaccinated, microchipped, spayed or neutered and placed for adoption.



These cats and kittens are an extra special group of felines due to the care they receive from the staff at the ACF and from the volunteers in the Cat Petting Program.

In many shelters, most cats sit in cages with little to no human touch. However, the PAWS cats at the ACF thrive on the love and attention of the ACF staff and volunteers. Because of their caring hands and hearts, the cats and kittens are relaxed, loving and simply wonderful!

We want to take some time to introduce you to the orphaned cats at the ACF in the hopes that you or someone you know will open heart and home to these fantastic kitties to give them their forever home.
