Licorice is a pleasant, friendly cat. He was previously adopted as a kitten from Valley Humane but was returned on 9/17 due to his owner moving to a home that does not allow pets. In his previous home, Licorice was loving and sweet with good litterbox manners. He has lived with other cats and has been exposed to dogs. While he isnt keen on making canine companions, he can be tolerant of them. 

Licorice has been diagnosed with crystalluria based on analysis of a urine sample. Due to this, it is recommended that he be fed a veterinary urinary die (i.e. Hills c/d multicare, Royal Canin SO, Purina St/Ox). Feeding this prescription diet and encouraging increased water consumption will help to prevent him from having urinary blockage issues in the future. However, there is still the possibility that he could develop urinary blockage and require treatment by your veterinarian.

Once you have submitted your Inquiry Form, an adoption counselor will reach out via telephone to give you more information about the animal. Animals posted to the website are ready to go home with their forever family and applicants are typically called the same day as the Inquiry Form is received. If the animal is the right match for you, the adoption counselor will schedule an adoption appointment for you, your family and the animal at our facility in Pleasanton. Adoption appointments are typically scheduled within 24 hours of the phone interview; applicants should be ready to bring a new pet into their home. We do often receive multiple inquiries per animal; all applicants will be contacted by Valley Humane, if not by phone, then email. If you have questions on your application status, please call us at 925.426.8656.
