Shakes is a big, handsome black and white cat who loves attention and playing with feather chase toys. He loves to snuggle and he has a lot of personality. He is a big ol' teddy bear! He came to spcaLA when his owner could no longer care for him and his feline sibling. His buddy has been adopted and now Shakes is looking for a special home of his very own. Come visit him at spcaLA's P.D. Pitchford Companion Animal Village & Education Center. You'll find Shakes sunning himself in the window sill of the free-roaming cattery.
spcaLA is Los Angeles' oldest animal welfare organization. Their services include animal cruelty investigations, humane education, animal behavior & training, and adoptions. Last year alone, spcaLA found homes for 3,482 pets.
