	Annie Oakley is a sweet, petite, FeLV+, DSH, spayed, brown tabby female (Est. DOB 5/08). Annie is a tiny but solid girl at 7lbs. She loves attention and would be a perfect cuddle cat if you're willing to overlook her FeLV+ status. To learn more about Annie Oakley click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	BJ is a 4 year old, neutered, black and white male who came to us earlier this year from Martinez Animal Shelter with a broken jaw. "Broken Jaw" kitty, soon became simply BJ. Very mellow and laid back, this boy would be a great cat for someone looking for a buddy of a cat to hang out with. BJ loves chin scratches and sleeping in sun rays. He has become a bit withdrawn and stressed in the shelter and would really benefit from being adopted or getting out of the shelter into foster care. Won't you give this boy a loving forever home? To learn more about BJ click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Brioche is a lovely 10 year old, de-clawed calico kitty who came to us early in 2006 from Martinez Animal Shelter. Brioche would love to be the companion for a Senior who will dote on her and let her laze about in sunny window sills and on the couch curled up close. Children, dogs and other kitties easily overwhelm this girl so the life of leisure as an only kitty would be ideal for her. Brioche will do fine with one or two other kitties if she gets enough love from her people. Brioche should not go to a home with children under the age of 5 years of age. Brioche nearly starved to death, due to illness when she arrived, and appears to be making up for it now. She's overweight and really needs to go to a home where someone will manage her weight and control her diet. To hear more about Brioche click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Cheeto is a very laid back 1.5 year old, neutered, orange tabby and white, DSH boy. Cheeto does very well with other cats, he's especially bonded to his buddy Zander. The two of them became fast friends and with Zander's help Cheeto has really come out of his shell. Cheeto was found as a stray and brought to us with Daisy, who he's very fond of. Both would make excellent companions to another cat. To learn more about Cheeto click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Dreamer is a handsome, affectionate, neutered, Siamese / DSH mix, 3 year old (est. DOB 4/2006), neutered male, who came to us on from a feral trapper who discovered he was far from feral. Dreamer is a friendly, outgoing, affectionate guy who loves to be held and get scratched. He will happily rub himself against you with the glee of one who hasn't had enough of the attention he so loves. Dreamer is FIV+ and should be an only kitty. To learn more about Dreamer click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Felix is a sweet, 12 year old (est. DOB 2/97), DSH, white and brown tabby, FIV+, neutered male. Felix is a dear old boy, friendly and outgoing. We'll have more information on him soon. To hear more about Felix click here to send an email to our volunteer staff.

	Fiona is a very pretty 2 year old, DMH, Calico who has had a very tough life. We pulled Fiona from San Jose Animal Care and Control in the early spring of 2006. We spayed her and found for her what we had hoped was a loving forever home. This June Fiona was returned with the comment that she was "feral" and she'd spent the entire year after her adoption living outside and running from her adopted family. Upon examining her we discovered the horrible truth. We're not sure when it happened, but Fiona had managed to push her front leg through her collar until it lodged in her armpit and began to dig in and cause her a great deal of pain. By the time we got her back the wound was old and very infected from months of festering. Since June she's been recovering in our hospital with loads of antibiotics and loving care. She's begun to remember that people are not all out to hurt her and we tell her every day how sorry we are that we allowed her to be adopted by someone who cared so little for her well being. We plan to ensure that her next home is the "right" home and that she has a happily ever after. Can you offer her that home? To learn more about Fiona click here to send an email to o to send an email to our volunteers.

	Gomez is a handsome, affectionate, outgoing and goofy all black, neutered male. Gomez came to us in a feral trap with a notched ear but this sweet, gentle boy who loves belly rubs, is far from feral. Gomez is FIV+. Come on down and meet Gomez. To learn more about Gomez click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Grover is a handsome DMH, FIV+, orange tabby boy with bright green eyes. Grover came to us very, very ill with a mouth full of rotten teeth, which we've since pulled. He's probably always going to have some issues but we all can't help but love him and he's more than ready to find his forever home. If you're looking for a kitty who loves to be hugged and thrives on lap time, Grover is most definitely your cat. To learn more about Grover click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Iggy came to us from the same feral colony that we got Dreamer from. He's a handsome, neutered, DSH, FIV+, Siamese / Snowshoe mix boy (est. DOB 6/06). Very nice, sweet, head-butter To learn more about Iggy click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Joshua is a handsome, 12+ year old, brown tabby boy. Joshua is pretty unhappy in the shelter but he loves to have his chin scratched and will happily lean into you for bum scratches. Joshua came to us on 3/9/08 from the Kern County Animal Shelter. Joshua loves to wander about but here at the shelter he pees on everything so he's stuck in a cage. We'd love if he could be adopted out to a home where he could be indoor/outdoor, we think he wouldn't have potty issues if he was an only cat with freedom to go in and out. Joshua also love tuna! To learn more about Joshua click here to send an email to our volunteers. Joshua is currently being sponsored by Dave and Laura Ficklin.

	Linguini is a very sweet, if a little shy, orange tabby, DSH male. Born on 4/13/08, he came to us on 4/25/08 from the Kern County Animal Shelter with his mom Olive and his 5 beautiful litter mates (the pastas). Linguini seems particularly attached to his brother Macaroni. To learn more about Linguini click here to send an email to an email to our volunteers.

	Lucy is a very sweet orange tabby and white, one eyed, spayed girl, (est. DOB 8/03). When she was surrendered to the Martinez Animal Shelter, the owner said she was bringing her in as she sometimes vomited after eating her food. People often make up these type of excuses when surrendering their cats. Lucy has not vomited since she came into the shelter after eating food and has a good appetite. In fact Lucy weighs eleven pounds so she isn't a small girl. She has a very slight heart murmur. Except for that she appears to be in very good health. She came to us from the Martinez shelter on 11/5/09. To learn more about Lucy click here to send an email to an email to our volunteers.

	Madison is a darling torbie tabby and white tuxedo girl (Est. DOB 5/10/09). Playful, friendly and sweet, Madison and her brothers are very social with other kitties and would likely do best in a home with another cat. Our Presidential siblings, all named after a former President, are not nearly as proper as their names imply. Madison is FeLV+. To learn more about Madison click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Magic is a wonderful 3.5 year old, neutered, grey and white tuxedo, tri-pod boy. Magic does well with other cats, but he is a dominant alpha cat and an attention hog. He would do best as only kitty or with one other mellow cat. Magic came to us in August of 2006, from Martinez Animal Shelter where he was being held in an animal cruelty case. Magic had been shot by a bee-bee gun that shattered his front leg. We removed his leg when he arrived at the Nine Lives Foundation and Magic's whole demeanor changed. He was no longer in pain and the world was suddenly bright and beautiful. To learn more about Magic click here to send an email to an email to our volunteers.

	Marty is a pretty, 2.5 year old neutered male. Marty was born in a feral colony and while he's been around people for nearly his whole life, he still maintains the theory that we're all out to get him. He would make a wonderful companion to another kitty, but he will likely never be a kitty who will allow people to pet or pick him up. To learn more about Marty click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Matthew is a handsome, 15+ year old, white and black, DLH, neutered boy. Matthew is pretty scared in the shelter. While his buddy Josh loves to be picked up and held, Matthew just wants a safe place to snuggle and call home. He loves attention, but is really unsure about the world he's found himself in. Matthew came to us on 1/8/09 from the Oakland Animal Shelter with his buddy Josh after their owner died they'd been together for 10 years and we'd really like to keep them together. To learn more about Matthew click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Milagro is a stunningly handsome, neutered, 8-10 year old, DSH, classic black and silver marbled tabby boy. He came to us from Alameda Animal Services on 3/8/08 with 2 other kitties (Mia and Lola). Milagro had been hit by a car at some point and his tail is paralyzed as a result of his accident. We're assessing the damage and may remove his tail if the injury requires it. Milagro loves to rub against any willing person and thrives on chin scratches and being petted. He's really a very affectionate and outgoing boy. To learn more about Milagro click here to send an email to an email to our volunteers.

	Mister is a friendly, handsome, outgoing, DSH, brown tabby, neutered male. Born around 3/2007, Mister was rescued by a woman in the East Bay as a friendly stray. Sadly, he tested FIV+ and she chose to find a rescue where he would be safe. Mister spends his days hanging out in our play cage sunbathing and rubbing against any human visitors who stop by. He's a really great cat, and we think his FIV+ status is easy to overlook given his robust health and awesome personality. To hear more about Mister click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Panther is a very handsome, 1.5 year old all black boy with single white patch on his breast. Panther came to us from the Los Banos Animal Shelter on 1/8/08. Panther is pretty shy around new people. He loves to have kitty buggies to hang out with and he enjoys being stroked and petted, but he dislikes being picked up and he quickly grows over whelmed when too much attention is paid to him, he will run off if overwhelmed. To learn more about Panther click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Pillsbury is a 2-3 year old, grey tabby, neuter, FIV+, DSH (est. DOB 3/07) male who came to us from 10/28/09. Pillsbury was found living in a feral colony in San Jose where he wandered up to the colony's care taker and rubbed against her. He's a charming, cuddly, affectionate boy who really deserves a home of his own. To learn more about Pillsbury click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Rebecca is a petite, spayed, black and white, semi feral girl who has been with us since she was six weeks old. Rebecca came to us from SJACC on 10/14/07 with her siblings Rafe and Ramona. Even as a kitten Rebecca had no interest in people. She's been in foster care a few times with little change. Rebecca would do best in a home where she had little contact with people, perhaps a barn. We don't know that she would know how to take care of herself outside though, having been with us her whole life. A safe outdoor enclosure might be best for her. To learn more about Rebecca click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Roscoe is a sweet and gentle, 8 year old, neutered, black and white tuxedo, DLH, boy. Roscoe came to us from the Fremont Animal shelter on 11/22/08. Roscoe is diabetic and needs daily monitoring of his insulin levels. He loves attention and will sit for hours with someone gently stroking his head and back. If adopted, Roscoe would need to go to a home where he will be able to get his daily insulin. Roscoe can be found at the Feline Well-Care Clinic where he's a resident cat. To learn more about Roscoe click here to send an email to an email to our volunteers. Dan & Ann Duffy are sponsoring Roscoe in Memory of Maria Sotelo Montenegro. Leanne Mackenzie is also sponsoring Roscoe and providing his insulin monitoring devices.

	Roxy is a 3 year old (est. DOB 3/06), DSH, front paw declaw, spayed female. Roxy was adopted out from us as a kitten and her first owners had her declawed at 3 months old. Roxy had many issues afterward, fear and stress in her home. She was returned and adopted out again to another home that kept her for 2.5 years. While they loved Roxy very much, they said she bites when over stimulated or stressed out and with young children in the house they thought a different home would be best for her. Roxy is a great cat. She's really blossomed in the last few months and loves attention. She's shown no signs of biting or being mouthy in months. We think, in a home with no small children to pull on her tail or pester her, that she'll be a wonderful companion. To learn more about Roxy click here to send an email to an email to our volunteers.

	Simon is a 7 year old (est. DOB 3/02), neutered, grey tabby, DSH, male who came to us from the Los Banos Animal Shelter on 3/13/09 with his brother Simon. Diego and Simon were owner surrenders, the owners couldn't keep them because they were moving into an apartment. Simon is a sweet boy who is very friendly. We're monitoring him for the beginnings of Thyroid disease. To learn more about Simon click here to send an email to an email to our volunteers.

	Tandori is a very thin, spayed, Flame Point Siamese mix girl who came to us on 5/9/08 from the Los Banos. Tandori is very friendly and loves to be petted and cuddled in your lap. Tandori is much skinnier than her ideal, and while she came to us that way, we think any home who takes her should be aware that she'll need some TLC. We've removed her Thyroid and Tandori is gaining weight and looking better everyday. We're not sure about her age, she looks old but it may just may due to poor weight as her teeth are in good condition. We're guessing she's anywhere from 12 to 15 years old. She's very friendly with people and tolerates other cats but may do best as an only kitty. To hear more about Tandori click here to send an email to send an email to our volunteer staff.

	Tex is a handsome, all black, 6 year old, neutered male. Tex loves attention, but would do best as an only kitty. He seems to get stressed out with more than one other kitty around. Tex is a great, and very large, cat. He can be mouthy and would do best in a home with no small children. If you're looking for a kitty to hang out with you and loll around in the sun or drape himself on your couch, Tex is most definitely your guy. Tex came to us on 11/22/08 from the Fremont Animal Shelter. To hear more about Tex click here to send an email to our volunteer staff.

	Tipper is an adorable, DMH, FeLV+, black and white tuxedo girl (est. DOB 5/24/09) who came to us on 9/22/09 from the Kings County AS. Tipper is a sweet little girl who loves to snuggle and play with many other kitties. She would make a wonderful companion kitty for another kitty or a family. To learn more about Tipper click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Tuffy is a handsome, 6 year old (DOB: 4/02), neutered, DSH, orange tabby and white tuxedo, FIV-/FeLV- boy. Tuffy came in to us in need of entropion surgery on both eyes because his eyelids turned in and scratched his eyes. We've since fixed that and this sweet boy is ready for a forever home of his own. Tuffy loves to show his love and appreciation for any attention you're willing to give him. He's a bit of a drooler, but with his sweet nature, it's easy to over look a little drool. To learn more about Tuffy click here to send an email to our volunteers.

	Viggo was found as a stray in Oakland and brought to us as a rescue. Viggo was covered in mites and half starved when he was first found but just look at him now! He's a darling boy with scarring on both of his eyes, but he sees just fine. He is estimated to be approximately 4 years old (est DOB 4/05). Viggo is a lovely boy who slams his head into you for head butts and rolls over for body rubs. He's a gentle giant, but can get mouthy when over stimulated so he should go to a home without children. Viggo is FIV+ so he should be an indoor only kitty. To hear more about Viggo click here to send an email to our volunteer staff.

	Vincent is a handsome, DLH, all white kitty who came to us as a feral. He's a bit better about being around humans but he's likely never going to be a lap cat. Vincent is looking for a safe barn or fenced yard where he can hang out with other kitties and be safely cared for. To hear more about Vincent click here to send an email to our volunteer staff.

	Whiskers is a beautiful, FIV+, spayed, 7 year old, DLH / Maine Coon mix, black and white Tuxedo. Whiskers was originally adopted out of the Fremont Animal Shelter (FAS) as an 8 week old kitten in April of 2002. We don't know what her life was like after that but she ended up back at the FAS as a stray with FIV and was due to be PTS. She's a very sweet girl who loves to hang out in your lap and snuggle so the volunteers at FAS called and asked us to take her. Whiskers needs a safe, permanent, indoor only home where she can enjoy the love of a family of her own. Whiskers loves to be held and cuddled. She's a solid girl who wraps her paws around your neck and hugs you back. She drools a little when she's happy and has been known to leave a wet spot on your shoulder after a long hug. We think it and Whiskers herself, are absolutely precious. To learn more about Whiskers click here to send an email to an email to our volunteers.
