Valencia - 3 year old DLH orange F
|
Valencia was a stray with a dozen other cats that were living on a dairy in Modesto. A caring resident was feeding them but unable to provide any medical care and none of the cats there seemed to live for very long.
Valencia is very pretty and affectionate. She loves attention, loves to be pet, and loves to climb into your lap and snuggle. She's great with the other 2 cats she came to us with. She seems fairly comfortable with dogs. She unfortunately tested positive for FIV (neg for FeLV) - this means she may over time be more prone to infections, some types of cancer and some types of bone marrow disease. Most FIV positive cats can live 8 - 10 years without problems - some longer. FIV is predominantly transmitted by fighting - so in a peaceful household, there is limited risk of transmission. However, she should be an indoor only cat. She is spayed and vaccinated. |
Bergamot - 2 year old DLH orange boy
Bergamot came from the same place as Valencia. He warms up pretty quickly to people and is then very friendly, cuddly and very playful. Very pretty with eyes that look green sometimes and blue others.
unlike the 2 girls he came with he is felv and FIV negative. He came with a very inflamed and painful mouth so has had all his teeth out; he’s healed great, his mouth is comfortable and he eats dry food well (and will never need future dental care!). He also came with persistent nasal discharge and sneezing but even that has improved dramatically abs may even go away all together. He was a sickly skinny young adult when he came to us and is now a vibrant, happy, active and healthy cat who is very ready for his own home!!!

Anthony - 2 year old boy
Anthony was taken in as a stray December of 2018 from oakmont. He was initially pretty shy but has turned into a very snuggly and affectionate boy. He's great with other cats and with dogs.
he came to us with an upper respiratory infection that has been persistent although lately it is fairly minimal off meds. However, he's still battling a bad ear infection; hopefully we'll get this resolved and it will no longer be an issue, but it's still an issue for him now.
he had developed moderately inflamed guns and had all his premolars and molars extracted (he kept his canines). He’s responded well, eats dry food perfectly normally and, if anything, this could be seen as a bonus - less dental maintenance needed in his future!

Gabriel and Grant - 3 1/2 year old boys
3 - 4 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
Megan - 3 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.

Alexis - 2 year old calico
Very shy initially but quite affectionate once acclimated
Merlin - 5 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.

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.
