Joss is a gorgeous boy looking for a chill, cat-savvy home. Bonus points if that home has a safe outdoor space, like an enclosed garden or patio (or catio)! A little supervised outdoor stimulation makes Joss an extra happy boy.

Joss starts out a little shy but after some wand toy play he warms up, and you'll soon see him rolling around on the floor or rubbing on legs asking for affection. He's also quite the conversationalist!

Joss is about 2 years old and ready for his forever family to come along. Give us a call at 415-506-6225 to meet him!

* Thanks to a very generous bequest, we're waiving adoption fees on all our adult cats - including Joss! - until we reach 100 adoptions. *

It’s Giving Tuesday! Help us keep pets in loving homes where they belong by supporting our Pet Safety Net program!

When families fall on tough times, affording pet food and veterinary bills can be a major struggle. No one wants to see beloved pets in the shelter due to financial hardship. Our Pet Safety Net is exactly that - a safety net to keep animals with their families by covering costs for essential food and vet care.

You can support this life-changing program by clicking the "donate" button or heading to our website at the link in our bio. #GivingTuesday #GivingTuesday2023 #petsafetynet #helppets

We're closed today for Thanksgiving, and to say we're feeling thankful for our staff, our volunteers, our supporters, and our whole community would be an understatement. We hope everyone has a peaceful holiday and we'll be open again tomorrow! 🍁

Kittens? In November? Yes, it's true! We still have lots and lots of kittens! And who wouldn't want kitten cuddles and kitten playtime during the holidays? Bonus: They grow up to be cats, who are just as awesome as kittens (heard it here first!). Head to our website, stop by our lobby, or call us at 415-506-6225 if you have kitten fever!

🆘 Pets in Marin need your help! 🆘

With so many families struggling to make ends meet these days, it comes as no surprise that many pet parents are facing extremely difficult decisions. A lost job, an unexpected expense, medical bills... there are so many reasons that a guardian may not be able to afford food, litter, or other supplies for their beloved animal.

But with YOUR help, we can fill our Pet Safety Net's pet food pantry and help these families keep their pets at home - safe, fed, and loved - where they belong. Here's how:

📌 Buy an e-gift card from Amazon, Target, or Safeway and email it to petfooddrive@marinhumane.org, so we can purchase food as needed.
📌 Buy an item (or two!) from our Amazon wish list or Chewy wish list and it’ll be delivered directly to us. **Both wish lists are at the link in our bio!**
📌 Drop off pet food donations in the donation barrels at our main campus in Novato.
📌 You can also drop off or mail physical gift cards (we love Pet Food Express and Woodlands Pet Food & Treats!)

Your donations will help us stock our pet food pantry so we can provide food and other necessities to pets in need for months to come! It's the season for giving and your gift could truly be life-changing. ❤
