Three-month-old Jam has decided to take a slightly different approach to getting adopted. Specifically, she has rewritten Aimee Mann’s “Save Me,” and yes, she would like you to hear it.

You look like
a perfect fit
For a cat in need
of a place to sit

But can you pet me?
Why don’t you pet me?
If you could pet me

From head to my toes to the tip of my tail
I would love it so much

’Cause I can tell
You know what it’s like
To want a friend
Who is always by your side

But can you adopt me?
Come on and adopt me
If you could adopt me

Jam is an affectionate, sweet, and curious kitten at our Santa Barbara Campus who, despite her choice of source material, is considerably more cheerful than this song would suggest. She’s looking for someone who appreciates a good cuddle, a curious little shadow, and late-’90s singer-songwriter melancholy.

We are open for adoptions from 12 to 4:30 PM every day except Wednesdays.

This #ThankYouThursday, we’re sending wags and purrs of gratitude to Assemblymember Gregg Hart and his team! Members of @asmgregghart’s team recently visited our Santa Barbara Campus to learn more about the many ways Santa Barbara Humane supports animals and the people who love them throughout our community.

During their visit, our Manager of Animal Behavior, Christine Brewer, gave them a demonstration of our dog training program before they headed out for walks with some of our adoptable dogs. We also had the opportunity to share more about the resources available to local pet families, including our low-cost veterinary care, Pet Food Pantry, and current free spay and neuter program for North County residents.

We were so glad to hear that Assemblymember Hart’s team is excited to help spread the word about these services to constituents who may be struggling with the cost of caring for their pets. Making sure people know where to turn for affordable, accessible resources can make a meaningful difference for pets and the people who love them.

Thank you to @asmgregghart and his team for taking the time to learn more about our work, spend time with our adoptable dogs, and help connect more members of our community with the resources available to them!

Coraline has found the little door.

On the other side, everything seems almost perfect. The food is delicious. The toys are plentiful. There are fascinating things to investigate around every corner, and someone has apparently arranged an entire mouse circus for her entertainment. Six-year-old Coraline could get used to this Other World business. She would, however, like a little more information about the buttons.

Our Coraline is waiting at our Santa Maria Campus, and thankfully, her story requires considerably less bravery and absolutely no encounters with the Other Mother. Her previous owner describes her as laid-back and reports that she enjoys cuddling and playing with wand toys. She has lived with children and was reported to do well with another cat in her previous home. She has not lived with dogs.

No secret tunnel required to find her. Just visit our Santa Maria Campus and look for the big green eyes. We are open for adoptions from 12 to 4:30 PM every day except Wednesdays.

You know what’s really spooky? Your dog suddenly forgetting everything they’ve ever learned the second you leave the house.

If you’re haunted by leash pulling, mysterious selective hearing, a dog who greets guests with the enthusiasm of a poltergeist, or the creeping suspicion that your dog is actually training you, Santa Barbara Humane can help. Our training classes use positive reinforcement to help you and your dog build skills, confidence, and a better way to communicate with each other.

We offer classes for puppies through adults, including Basic Manners, Reactive Rover, Shy Dog, Intermediate Manners, Canine Good Citizen prep, and more, plus private training for dogs who could use a little one-on-one attention. No exorcism required.

Learn more about our training options and find the right class for you and your little apparition at sbhumane.org/training.
