Rudolph is a sweet cat with a sunny disposition — as evidenced by his frequent purring to let you know he’s happy. Volunteers say he is quite affection and easy to handle, too.

Rudolph came to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through our FOCAS second chance program from another shelter. Because he is still so young, he has lots of energy to spare and will require lots of playtime.

Rudolph is available for adoption at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. His adoption fee of $125 includes medical exam, neuter, up to date vaccinations, and microchip identification.

 is located at 389 Requeza St. in Encinitas. The hours of operation are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., except on Tuesday, when the shelter opens at 11:30 a.m.
