This animal is available at Marin Humane Society Email: adoptions@marinhumanesociety.org Please do not contact North Bay Vicky 291349        Breed Domestic Short Hair   Sex Female                  Color Orange Tabby / White            Spayed                        Age 9Mths 3Wks (approx)               Suitability Guide   Special Needs      Where can you find me?      I am at the Hopalong Foster Program location.   You can contact me by   Phone 415-506-6225   Address Oakland, California     A Little Bit About Me   (From my foster home)   Are you looking for a unique and quirky little girl to be part of your family? Then Vicky (or 'Victory') might be your kitten!   Sweet little Vicky loves her mealtimes and playtimes! She tends to be slightly independent girl who can keep herself quite occupied at times with her cats toys or looking out the window. During her more snuggly moments, Vicky enjoys coming to lay near or against her person for a good nap. She also sometimes likes to be held for prolonged periods. Vicky sometimes gives kitty kisses by licking your hand or your face.   Vicky really loves a good game of hunting wand toys that she can 'catch'. She has especially enjoyed wands with feathers on the end and a wand toy with a combo crinkle ball/feather. It's her favorite way to workout! Often after a good session, she then drags her catch to hide if for safe keeping under a bed or a couch, cutely growling to let everyone know it is HER catch and she is not sharing! But when she's ready for you to move the wand again she will let you know by mewing for your attention.   When she gets excited - usually as you bring her a meal! - she likes to squeak and mew.   Vicky is also a 'unicorn' kitty in many physical ways. Her orange fur is a color more typically associated with male cats. She also has very unique little paws! She is a polydactyl kitty, meaning she has extra toes to love on her feet. She even has a little extra bone nubbin on the bottom of one back foot. One of her front paw nails is chronically extended as well and does not retract. So good to keep at least this one nail trimmed to avoid it getting snagged on things. She may also have some version of dwarf-ism on her front two legs making them both shorter than normal kitty limbs.   Vicky has slightly wonky gait due to a suspected congenital issue. This manifests itself in two ways. First, when she walks she sometimes will have a little extra rolling sashay motion in her hip area à la Marilyn Monroe. Secondly, when she jumps up or down, it's often not a smooth process and she's prone to struggling a bit to get up or 'splatting' on the way down. She also cannot seem to climb very high so tends to prefer the middle level of taller cat trees. Several vets have examined her including a neurologist. This condition is not believed to be progressive and should not degrade over time - what you see currently is what you get. However, the funny gait does limit her ability to jump up and down properly on a consistent basis. For this reason, it would not be safe for Vicky to be allowed outside since she could not always easily jump up and away if needed from danger. Anyone considering adopting her should be committed to please keeping her indoors-only for her safety.  Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 The Marin Humane Society 171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato, California 94949 Email: adoptions@marinhumanesociety.orgMay 8, 2024, 1:32 am

He loves to play until he is panting tired (sometimes jumping off walls chasing his wand toy), and he makes quick work of his food and treat puzzles (handsome AND smart!).   Wade is a busy, social cat--he wants to be around his people and greets us with leg rubs while enjoying a few pets. He's pretty darn cute, too, being completely white with a pink nose and toes (they turn extra pink when he's playing hard!). Although he looks super snugglable when he's rolling around and being adorable, he really only likes limited petting. Because he can overstimulate, Wade is looking for a cat-experienced adult household that can read his signals. He may take some time to adjust in his new home, but give him time and plenty of things to do and soon he'll be loving his new home and family! If you would like to learn more about Wade, please call Adoptions at (415) 506-6225.  Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 The Marin Humane Society 171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato, California 94949 Email: adoptions@marinhumanesociety.orgMay 8, 2024, 1:32 am

She would love a peaceful home with all the comforts of life. As a shy kitty, Jay Tee may need a little time to warm up to new environments, but give her time and she will show you how sweet she truly is. She loves her ear rubs and is an avid biscuit maker. She came in as a stray off the streets and is still adjusting to the shelter, but every day she gains a bit more confidence. If you are looking for a gentle companion, Jay Tee may be your girl!  Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 The Marin Humane Society 171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato, California 94949 Email: adoptions@marinhumanesociety.orgMay 8, 2024, 1:32 am

This animal is available at Marin Humane Society Email: adoptions@marinhumanesociety.org Please do not contact North Bay Astoria 290747 & Kilo 290746   Breed Domestic Short Hair   Astoria is a 7 month Grey Tabby Female   Kilo is a 9 month Grey/White Male    Spayed / Neutered   Where can you find us?          We are at the Marin Humane location.   You can contact us by   Phone (415) 506-6225   Address 171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd. Novato          A Little Bit About Us   Kylo and Astoria are a very special bonded pair! Each have some vision issues and are a bit shy, but these older kittens will flourish with patient, cat savvy people who will start them out in a small space. They are sound sensitive, so they would do best in a calm, quiet home. Once they feel comfortable, Kylo and Astoria will come to you for pets with purrs. Kylo loves laps once he knows you. Astoria likes to be near you and will hold her head up for gentle pets. They both love enrichment, including boxes, treat puzzles, small toys that they can carry around, and the wand toy. Because of Astoria's poor vision, she follows the wand toy best when it makes a little sound when dragged on the ground. We hope you can open your heart to give these wonderful special needs kitties a home!  Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 The Marin Humane Society 171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato, California 94949 Email: adoptions@marinhumanesociety.orgMay 8, 2024, 1:32 am

Now, after many attentive weeks in foster, he's lost a few pounds and he's becoming more mobile and active! He is well on his way to a healthier adult cat lifestyle and just needs to find his new people that will firmly decline his requests for extra portions. Overall, he is a sweet lover boy and has a humble way about him that is hard to resist. What he is no longer allowed in extra calories, he will gladly accept now in loads of extra love!  Adoption Center: (415) 506-6225 The Marin Humane Society 171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato, California 94949 Email: adoptions@marinhumanesociety.orgMay 8, 2024, 1:32 am

Xenia is very good at being a cat- especially the whole 'napping' part of the deal. Sometimes she loves to curl up under a fuzzy blanket for a solo-nap, but one of her favorite places in the world to be is your lap. The second she lies down on you and gazes into your eyes, you'll be in love! She always serves cuddles and pets with a side of purrs and biscuits. If you want a cat who is often down for some lovely snuggle time, Xenia is your gal! Come to the shelter or call us at 707-542-0882 to learn more.

Story
We found Nalani at 6weeks. Doctor predicted she was born August 18th 2022. She’s rare as orange tabby’s are only female 20% of the time. She has a very sweet disposition. Plays and loves children. Shes very snuggly and loves routine. Unfortunately we are renters and not allowed to have animals. We kept her outside but shes so little and petite she couldn’t defend herself against a bigger tom cat and we had to take her to the hospital. She really just needs to be loved indoors. We love and adore her immensely but we can’t keep her. Hoping she’ll get another loving home. Shes so full of personality and is so snuggly.
