Cheese
Hello! My name is Cheese!
Here’s what my friends at Española Humane say about me:
- Meet Cheese and Mouse, the perfect pair of feline companions who are as different as night and day but share an inseparable bond! Cheese is a confident, outgoing 4-year-old tabby who's always ready to greet you with a loud meow and a request for attention. He loves being the center of attention, whether it's snuggling up for pets or just sitting close by. Cheese is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves human companionship and is never shy about seeking it out.
Then there's Mouse, his quieter, more reserved 3-year-old sister. While Cheese is upfront and vocal, Mouse prefers to observe the world from a safe distance, often staying close behind her big brother. She's a bit more cautious but still has plenty of love to give once she feels comfortable. Together, they make a wonderful balance-Cheese's outgoing nature provides reassurance to Mouse, while Mouse's calm demeanor helps balance out Cheese's energetic personality.
This bonded pair has always been indoor cats and should remain indoors for their safety and well-being. They've also been around dogs and have done well with them, making them a great choice for a household with other pets.
Cheese and Mouse are looking for a loving home where they can continue to be the adorable, inseparable duo they are. They'll thrive in a peaceful environment where they can both be themselves-Cheese seeking attention and Mouse taking it all in from her safe spot by his side.
If you're ready to open your heart and home to these two sweethearts, Cheese and Mouse would love to bring their gentle, loving energy to your family!
If you’re interested in adopting me, fill out an application to get a jump start on the process! We don’t offer holds on shelter pets, so c’mon in to meet and greet to decide if you’ve met your match. Applications for pets in foster care, at Ojo Santa Fe, or offsite in other programs will be reviewed by staff before appointments are scheduled.

Española Humane
Española Humane offers free services and innovative programs to help suffering pets in underserved communities. For over three decades, we have managed an open-door shelter that welcomes every animal without charge because we believe the most humane approach is to never turn away an animal in need. Spay/neuter access is critical to our mission, and our clinic is completely free to pets in Española, Rio Arriba County, and the surrounding Pueblos.
We’re determined to make a lasting difference and to squeeze every penny out of each donated dollar: 89% of your gift goes directly to the animals.
Shelter & Adoptions
Spay Neuter Clinic
Become a foster superhero.
Fostering can be as easy as having a litter of young ones in a spare bathroom before they go to an adoption event. Or, maybe you’d like an adult to spend time with your family, just to see how that pet transforms with a little love and attention. We promise it’ll be rewarding.
Join our team of volunteers
Volunteers help every facet of our work, from support at the shelter to helping with adoption events to assistance with animal transport. We provide the training and the welcoming environment. Meet new people, learn new skills, and feel good about helping animals.
Need help finding your pet?
80% of pets are found within a mile of where they went missing. Start searching right away and use printed flyers so people can call you with sightings. An ID tag or microchip will make it a lot easier to find your pet. Hopefully, they’ve already been found and are at our shelter.
