Story
I adopted my cat about five years ago, when she was ten years old. She was in a kennel by herself at the SPCA. In her paperwork, it said that she "pooped outside her litter box," and at the time I thought that it was due to the stress of being in a strange place. After getting her home, she pees in the litter box, but will still poop outside the box maybe once a day. Previous to the SPCA, she lived with an older lady - that's all I know. Her name was Charley, but after I got her home, I unofficially named her Dame Maggie Smith, after the actress. She can be just a bit skittish around new people, and still a bit around me - when I feed her in the morning, I'll sit about four feet away from her. If I stand up after she starts eating, she scurries away until I settle down again. She prefers drinking from the bathtub faucet and will stand in it and meow until I turn it on to a thin stream. She's quite the cuddler, and will insist on lap time and will also prefer laying on you in bed

Good day to you, I'm Benny! I'm a 3 year old, domestic short haired, black and white, neutered male cat who is large sized. I'm a friendly and social cat who loves playtime sessions. After we play, I love to have my own time, so I may get overstimulated! I'm searching for a family that understands cats like me! When I'm comfortable, I love to receive head pets and neck scratches. If you want to learn more about me, come by and visit! - Benny ID #A974756Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.

Video Available! Hello future friends, my name is Lucius. I am a 9 year old, grey domestic short haired, neutered male who is medium sized. I am a very shy but gentle lad who can get very anxious when I am in any new surroundings. I take some time to warm up so I would do best in a home with someone who has experience with getting shy guys like me out of my shell. Once I get comfortable with you I love receiving affection and will come to you for more. If you like shy lads like myself come on down and say hi to me!
