Cat Survives Coyote Attack, Graduates Quarantine
29 Jan
Summary
- A cat named Kyle survived a severe coyote attack.
- Kyle completed a six-month quarantine for rabies monitoring.
- The resilient cat is now cleared for adoption.
A two-year-old tabby cat, Kyle, recently celebrated a remarkable milestone at the San Diego Humane Society: his graduation from a six-month quarantine.
Kyle was brought to the shelter in late July after a harrowing encounter with a coyote, which left him with critical wounds to his neck and chest. A compassionate individual rescued Kyle and ensured he received immediate emergency care.
Due to California's strict rabies laws, Kyle was required to complete a six-month quarantine to monitor for the fatal virus. On January 27, 2026, he officially concluded this isolation period.
The shelter marked the occasion with a special graduation ceremony, complete with a cap and gown. Staff decorated a room, played Kyle-themed trivia, and enjoyed cupcakes featuring his image, celebrating his incredible resilience and recovery.
