Pickles - 2 year old black and white girl
Very sweet and friendly. Was found abandoned in an apartment complex and taken in by another group and spayed, then brought here (in December). Loves attention and loves being pet. Not enthusiastic about other cats when they invade her personal space but ok with them if they give a little breathing room. Good with dogs
Emma - 2 yr grey tabby girl
Taken in as a stray and now spayed and ready for a home. Very playful. Enjoys attention. Gets along well with other cats as long as they are willing to play at times as well. Fairly petite.
Rupert - 2 year old striped tabby boy
One of a litter of stray kittens from lake county. He started out very shy and took a while to really become a lap cat, but now he's very affectionate and loves lap time, snuggled up to his foster mother. He is shy with change and will take a while to adapt to a new home, but is a great cat once acclimated. Good with other cats and dogs.
Gabriel and Grant - 2 year old boys
2 year old tabby brothers. Taken in when very scared 2 month olds. They have made a lot of progress and purr readily and enjoy being picked up and pet - but will still take some time to acclimate to a new home. Grant (solid tabby) is definitely more confident and snuggly than Gabriel). Great with other cats; best to not adopt together as they are more social when paired off with more confident cats
Winston 2 year Siamese/tabby mix
Winston is a friendly 2 year old boy that is sweet and affectionate, enjoys attention, enjoy playing and is really a great companion.
He developed lower urinary track disease and blocked - unable to urinate at all when he was still less than a year of age. This can be a very life threatening problem, but he has had surgery so that it should not be able to ever happen again (perineal urethrostomy). Ideally, from prevention recurrence of inflammation (uncomfortable but not life threatening), he should be on a special diet (prescription diet c/d) although seems to be currently doing very well without that diet. And, cats with this surgery can be at higher risk for getting bladder infections. Beyond that, he should be able to be a normal cat and life a long and happy life.

James Bond - 3 year tuxedo
Shy but sweet tuxedo. Started out as a stray in lake county. Once acclimated is a friendly cat who enjoys being pet and cuddled. However, he is still worried with changes - new people, new places, etc. Needs a somewhat quiet home. Does well with other cats and tolerates dogs.
He did start developing stomatitis (a painful and inflamed mouth) shortly after coming to us so had his teeth extracted to resolve this; it resolved beautifully and his mouth is nice and healthy again (and should not ever be a problem again). He still eats dry food quite well - just occasionally needs to be reminded that he doesn't have teeth when he tries to steal people food from his foster parents.

Megan - 2 1/2 year old Calico
Megan's foster mother was returning in the middle of the night from a visit to her mother in southern California and met Megan and her brother outside a McDonalds in the middle of nowhere along the 5 Freeway at 2 am. The boy came up to her but wounldn't be caught, so she reluctantly left them behind but kept worrying about them. Finally, almost 2 months later - a rescue group in Los Banos was kind enough to go down (1 hr south) and trap them and she met them to pick them up.
Megan's brother was more confident and got adopted already and is doing amazingly well. Megan is still waiting. She was pretty scared when she first came to us and has made a lot of progress. She now really enjoys being pet but still hasn't gained the confidence to seek out attention. She is great with other cats, gets along well with all of them and snuggles very happily with them. She is comfortable with the (fairly mellow) resident dog.
She will need some time and patience to help her fully settle in to a life of comfort and care and domesticity but has the potential to make a great companion with the right family.

Merlin - 4 yr classic brown tabby boy
|
Merlin and his brother came to us as newborns and were bottle-fed. Her brother was adopted when young; Merlin has remained unwanted. He is a somewhat petite boy and moderately shy with strangers. At home, where he's comfortable, he's social and playful and happy. He gets along great with other cats and is fairly comfortable with dogs. He does have chronic rhinitis - an upper respiratory infection when young has left him with a fairly steady low level of sneezing and nasal congestion - it really doesn't seem to bother him though.

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.
