	Denali 7 year old Neutered Male

	Denali is a regal, long haired Siamese whose light blue eyes bring the glaciers of Alaska come to mind. In his last home this chatty boy lived with children, another cat and a dog. He did fine with the children and generally loves people, however we think that he would do best in a home without other animals so he gets all the attention and adoration he deserves. He will need lots of brushing to keep his beautiful coat shining and some playtime with toys for exercise. Since he was used to food being always available, changing this to portion control would benefit him. This "cool" cat will be your best buddy before you know it.



	Gilligan 6 year old Neutered Male

	Gorgeous blue eyed Gilligan is a striking Lynx Point looking to settle down. He never met a meal he didn't like. Since he enjoys wand toys encourage more playtime with him always being mindful of your hands. He has strong opinions and is very clear about his feelings. Having an experienced guardian will help him adjust to his new environment. Start him off with short grooming sessions until he becomes more comfortable with the process. Gilligan wants his own island paradise with all the essentials. Visit him several times a day the first few weeks, gradually letting him out to explore other rooms. This handsome boy can’t wait to grace your home with his presence.



	Brava 9 year old Spayed Female

	Beautiful Brava obviously had a home where she was well cared for, but then she was lost before she was rescued and brought here. She was happy to be sheltered and fed, but she isn't sure this is her place of choice to perform; she prefers to crawl into her own personal dressing room under a towel. Brava is easy to coax out and handle when you want to bring her out of hiding, but is a little overwhelmed right now, and really needs a great new home to feel totally safe again. Start her out in a room with all she needs, including maybe a small blanket on a bed where she can create her own private space until she feels comfortable enough to perform on your stage.



	Stella 10 year old Spayed Female

	Oh, the stories lovely Stella could tell if only she had a mind to do so. Where has she been? She was lost from her original home many years ago and she stayed off the grid until now. Lovely Stella knows exactly what she wants. She would like a home with no other pets, or if there had to be a dog, an elderly, mellow, cat loving dog might be acceptable. She is past the stage where a houseful of lively children would be appealing. She is looking to fill someone's empty nest, in essence! Stella is just starting her senior years so being warm, indoors and cozy in a quiet environment is high on her wish list this Christmas. Stella appreciates a kind, patient approach so that she can develop some trust. Oh, the stories Stella could tell.....



	Ashley 4 year old Spayed Female

	Beautiful Ashley was found near the Paradise shopping center looking for someone to love. Living on the street has its drawbacks. This young lady wants to feel the sun on her back, curled up on a cozy bed looking out the window of life. One of her greatest pleasures is having her chin scratched; her eyes close and it’s like she entering nirvana. Ashley seems to have aversion to being confined or held too tightly. For now children (14+) should be respectful of her wishes and not carry her around. She will make a wonderful companion and is destined for royalty. Show Ashley that having her in your life is all you need to make the holidays truly splendid.



	Marmalade 7 year old Spayed Female

	Marmalade is one gorgeous orange tabby! She thinks she's pretty special because there aren't many females blessed with this coloring. This girl knows what she likes - giving head bumps, having her plush coat groomed, telling you about her day, and finding places to snuggle in. What she doesn't like - and who can blame her? - are any types of invasive handling. She does tolerate pedicures, with a pause now and then for a tasty treat, but will let you know that anything beyond that is not to her liking. That being said, Marmalade will make a charming addition to a calm, cat savvy household that can appreciate all this kitty has to offer.



	Gina 11 year old Spayed Female

	Sweet Gina wants nothing more than to find a quiet home with a lap or two to settle into! Gina came to our shelter when her favorite person was no longer able to care for her. She has been a cherished feline friend for all her life, and has a lot of love to give in her future. Please set up a small, comfortable, safe area where she can spend the next week or so. Let her ask for interaction before you force your attention on her. As she seems ready, let her explore the rest of your home a bit at a time, always giving her the option to return to her room and litter box. With time and patience, she will learn to trust and will welcome your loving attention. Listen carefully; she has a soft purr to let you know of her contentment!



	Mango 9 year old Neutered Male

	Mango finds himself in a precarious position. One day he woke up with a roof over his head and the next minute he was all alone. How did this delightful cat go unclaimed? He is still scratching his head on this one! Fortunately, this soulful gentleman is the cat’s meow. He starts out a little shy and reserved, but once he’s comfortable he’ll ask you for attention by giving you gentle head butts. He is also quite fond of a good snuggle in a warm lap. He has reached the point in his life where a quieter environment would suit him just fine. Adopting Mango will be a real sweet treat.



	Precious 1 year old Spayed Female

	Precious is a perfect little princess who can be somewhat persnickety. When she's of a mind, she loves people and enjoys hanging out with cats and dogs, too. However, she does have her limits for handling, cuddling and socializing. After all, a girl likes to set her boundaries and have them respected! Precious has the look of a rather exotic feline; perhaps there's some aristocracy in her background. We think she'll be a dainty and delightful addition to a cat-savvy home with teens and adults who will enjoy her for who she is. Bring on the wand toys! Precious is partial to ones with feathers - she will play, jump, run and share her girlish antics!



	Marilyn 1 year old Spayed Female

	Little Marilyn came to us after the Good Samaritan who was feeding her and her kittens moved away. Her kittens have all found homes, so now it’s Marilyn’s turn. She would like you to know she is still a young cat herself and is extremely happy, active and PLAYFUL. Her motto would be: playing all day makes a girl purr all night! Keep in mind play time with cat wands works better than hands. With Marilyn being such an active, inquisitive girl, she might get a little over stimulated at times. Over stimulation is not an unusual behavior especially for younger cats. If Marilyn does get a too exuberant with her cuddle time just switch to play time and let her burn off some of that energy. She is a lovely young lady, looking for a heart to call home.



	Precious 2-U 6 year old Spayed Female

	If you are looking for some kitty affection in your life, look no more. Precious 2-U is your gal. Her only condition is that you allow her to be your one and only as she was most unhappy when some new cats were introduced to her previous home. We find Precious 2-U to be a very affectionate cat just looking for a home to fill with love, play time and some therapy lap time. Give her a small room of her own for a week or so. She will need all the kitty essentials - soft bed, spacious litter box, food, water and your companionship as often as you can spare. Let her explore the rest of your home gradually, always giving her the opportunity to return to her litter box and resting area. She will soon be making herself right at home.



	Redtail 4 year old Spayed Female

	This charming girl came from a home with too many cats. Redtail’s previous owner called her outgoing, friendly and affectionate. Her perfect day is playing, napping and, of course, eating yummy food. At night, she is happy to share your bed with you. Right now, the shelter environment is overwhelming for her, but once she settles into a loving new home, she'll come out of her shell. She may hide at first when you first bring her home, so be patient with her. Redtail enjoys being held as long as she can bury her head in the crook of your arm. She will be happy to let you give her a nice, gentle grooming session. We think she will feel safe and comfortable in a calm, quiet household.



	Granada 5 year old Spayed Female

	Beautiful Granada is looking for better accommodations. She spent a great deal of time in the Petaluma Shelter and recently re-located to Marin hoping it would be her springboard to a great new life. Ask our adoptions team if you can come in and visit giving her gentle reassurances. This sweetheart is ready for a change. She needs a quiet room with all the accoutrements and time to adjust to her new environment. Make sure everyone uses their inside voice and visits her often. After a week or two gradually give her a little more freedom, always allow her easy access back to her litter box and special place. Grenada has a heart of gold and the potential of being a wonderful lifelong companion.

Mazii
8 month old
Neutered Male

ADOPTED!



	Bazii 1 year old Neutered Male

	Bazii got found out! His family had to give him up when the landlord discovered there were pets in the home. He had been living with other cats and might enjoy and take comfort from another friendly feline, given proper introductions. Because Bazii is somewhat shy, we think he will do best in a household with older, polite children who will be patient and careful when handling him. He has lived exclusively indoors for all his young life and he will feel safe and comfortable if he remains inside, parked on your lap or perched on a sunny window seat. Bazii may be a bit shy and retiring at first, but we think he's truly a sweet, gentle lover-boy who's just waiting to make you his own!



	Maya 2 year old Spayed Female

	Maya comes to us from the Petaluma Animal Shelter where she lived for quite a while. She is a pro when it comes to shelter life, but really, who wants to be cooped up when there is the big wide world waiting ? However, she would be more than happy to have a kind and loving home to call her own and share her affection with its resident humans. Give her a little time to adjust to a life outside a cage and this lovely girl with the gorgeous eyes will call you her hero.



	Earl Grey 2 year old Neutered Male
