Nearly three dozen cats — the second group brought to San Diego from the Stockton Animal Shelter since last December — arrived at the San Diego Humane Society’s Oceanside campus this week.

The San Diego Humane Society said that while it is still well over capacity for dogs, it is able to take in the cats, which in turn helps the Stockton shelter.
“Stockton Animal Care deserves credit for putting out the call for help,” San Diego Humane Society’s president and chief executive officer, Dr. Gary Weitzman, said in a statement. “When a fellow shelter needs support, whether here in San Diego or beyond, we want to be there for them.”
In early December, the San Diego Humane Society took in 29 kittens from the Stockton shelter, bringing the total number of kittens rescued from the shelter to 63.

(Photo courtesy San Diego Humane Society)The Stockton shelter has been struggling with a surge in cats needing specialized medical care, as well as the more general issue of overcrowding. Several kittens are suffering from upper respiratory infections or scabies while others are ringworm-positive at various stages of treatment.
Shelter medicine teams locally are prepared to provide isolation and treatment for the respiratory infections and ringworm cases, the Humane Society said.
Once the kittens are medically and behaviorally cleared, they will be made available for adoption. All pets currently available for adoption can be viewed here.
