Helen - 2 year old Grey and White Girl
|
Helen came to us as a skinny and scared 2 month old. She is now healthy and a little pudgy. She's still shy but has made enormous progress. She purrs readily when pet and when picked up and cuddled and will creep up to rub against legs and quietly ask for attention. Finally, a few times a week she will creep up and join her foster mother on the couch - and there become a very demandingly affectionate snuggler. She will need a relatively quiet home and patient parents to help her settle in, feel comfortable and confident, and become the affectionate child she wants to be - but she really wants to be a super cuddly child - she just lacks confidence.

Merlin - 2 yr classic brown tabby boy
|
Merlin and his brother came to us as newborns and were bottle-fed. Merlin is a petite boy and much smaller than his brother but is otherwise a healthy boy. He's social and playful and happy. He's still squirmy about being held and cuddled - but has been getting much better about this more time and cuddling. He gets along great with other cats and is fairly comfortable with dogs.

Daphne - 3 year old Grey (Russian blue -like) female
Gatsby - 4 year Grey and White Boy
Acquired in early February as part of a trade with another rescue group. Very social, charming, snuggly, affectionate and full of personality. Not shy. Loves to cuddle. DEvoted lap companion. Takes a little time to accept sharing attention with other cats (and occasionally swatted at them when he wanted to be the center of attention), but acclimating now. Fairly comfortable with dogs. A truly great cat.
Catalina - 4 year old Brown Tabby Girl
|
|
Acquired with Gatsby (not as a pair) in early February as part of a trade with another rescue group. Came to them as a mother cat the previous year. A week after she came to us, we realized she was eating very little - she'd approach her food, take a bite, then cry and run away from her food. She was diagnosed with stomatitis - where her mouth was severely inflamed as a reaction to her teeth. She has had all of her teeth extracted to treat this and responded very very well. She's eating great , has gained weight since her dental surgery, and is very comfortable a much happier cat now. Now that there are no teeth left, that should be the end to her issues forever - and she still eats both canned and small sized kibble very happily.
She's very sweet and affectionate - a special girl who deserves a special home. She loves people and loves attention. She's still a princess with other cats - which is to say that she tends to swat them if they invade her personal space. She's pretty comfortable with the dogs though. |
Giovanni- 4 year old short haired white boy
|
Giovanni came to us as a mostly feral 6 month old - he was born with siblings and 2 other groups of kittens in a junk yard in Los Angeles, rescued when 3 months old, and brought up to Santa Rosa with a couple other kittens at 6 months when the lady who rescued them was desperate and overwhelmed.
He has taken a lot of time and patience, but has turned into an affectionate, social, cuddly cat. He loves to be pet, purrs readily, and is finally even learning to be a happy purring lap cat. However, he is bound to take some time (ie probably months) to adapt to a new home, so will need a patient and understanding family. He is great with other cats and dogs, but would probably do best without young children. To add to his issues, he got an upper respiratory tract infection when young and it led to chronic rhinitis. He sneezes with thick discharge frequently. It doesn't need medical attention, he acts and feels fine despite it - but it will likely be his normal long term. |
Clarabelle - 5 Yr F Grey Tabby
Mirabelle and Clarabelle are grey tabby sisters about 3 years old now.
Their mother was a stray and was found when very pregnant and taken in by her foster mother. A few days later, she gave birth to 3 grey tabby girls. The mother and 1 daughter were adopted the first year. Clarabelle and Mirabelle are still waiting.
They are both very sweet, affectionate, playful, and cuddly, although Clarabelle is much more of a lap cat than Mirabelle. Both are shy with strangers though and will need a relatively quiet home and a patient family that will give them a month or two to settle in and feel themselves.
They are not bonded and tend to cuddle and play with other cats rather than each other, so really are fine being adopted separately.

Pegasus - 6 Yr Abbysinian-Like M
Pegasus started off as a litter of 5 unwanted, stray kittens in San Jose and were taken in by purrfect pals to find them homes and happy futures. 3 were adopted as kittens, Hyacinth adopted in 2014 - Pegasus alone is still waiting.
Pegasus has a pretty ticked brown tabby coat resembling an abbysinian - but probably does not actually have any Abby in him.
He is shy with strangers and will need some time to acclimate to a new home, but when he's comfortable, he's a very affectionate, snuggly, and cuddly boy.

Astrid - 6 Yr DSH Tabby and White F
Very special white cat with tabby patches - came to us as a kitten and somehow just never got adopted. Loves attention and enjoys time with her foster mother in bed at night - but is very shy with strangers and will time to really settle in and feel comfortable in a new home. Great with other cats and comfortable with the resident dog.
Astrid has gotten quite fat and her ideal home is one where her meals can be carefully measured out so some weight loss can be achieved - unfortunately this just isn't doable in her current foster home.

Shannon - 6 yr Russian Blue-Like F
Shannon is a sweet but very shy short haired grey girl - about 4 years old now. She was born as an unwanted stray in a trailer park and was trapped when 7 weeks old. Hoping to secure her a better future, she was taken in by a foster home and taught to trust and love people. She did learn to bond, but remained dominated by the resident older cat and thus lived mostly in the bathroom to avoid him. After 2 years of trying to find a home unsuccessfully, her foster home could no longer keep her, so she moved to a new foster home.
She was terrified initially but after a few months in a small room with several other very cat social cats she settled in and now quietly seeks attention when her foster mother goes in to see her. She is a sweet girl and wants to be loved, but has very little confidence. She's looking for a quiet home and an understanding family that can help her grow and blossom - but who won't expect too much from her too fast. She does great with very cat
social cats, but dominant, more bullying cats terrify her.

Stewart - 6 yr DSH grey tabby M
4 year old large short-haired grey tabby boy. Rescued from a busy street corner with 2 scared siblings when 6 months old. His 2 friends were essentially feral and were finally relocated to a rural barn home. But, he has responded to attention with purring and love - and he
definitely enjoys being an indoor only cat. But, he is still shy.
He is scared of strangers and hides whenever anyone comes over. But, when the home is quiet, he loves sleeping on the bed or padded beds on scratching posts. He will come to his foster mother for attention and purr, but is still scared by loud noises or any changes in routine and will hide occasionally.
He is looking for a fairly quiet home with a family able to give him a few months to fully settle in a slowly reveal his purrsonality as he becomes comfortable. It will take a little patience and time, but the relationship will be all that more special for having been earned. Please help him!
