Tom and Jerry are 10 months old grey Tabbies whose mother which was feral got killed by a car. Kind people trapped the kittensand called Paw Parent. They are living here now and have a great time but would love to have a whole apartment or house to roam and play in. Here they are in a roomfull of other cats. They could not be more different in personality. Tom is the shy one and still does not trust people. He can be petted but first you have to be able to get him. While Jerry is quite the opposite. Once he knows and trusts you he is the PURR-MACHINE!!! Even before you touch him he will start his little engine. He is so affectionate and sweet and loves to cuddle up next to you. He is so beautiful too: long bushy tail and this cute little round face 
It would be wonderful if the two could be adopted together. They are neutered and had their shots and have been dewormed. Please call 661-724-0642 if you interested in adopting them.

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT PAW PARENT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GOGOLITO!!! Gogolito Iis posted as a favor to a private person on this site. Her name is Pat and her email address is: SOROUSHIAN@aol.com. PLEASE contact her if you are interested in adopting Gogolito. THANK YOU! Gogolito is VERY loved by Pat but unfortunately he seems very unhappy and depressed since the daughter of his person moved away and he is left alone for too many hours now. His person is very upset about the situation and would love to be able to keep him but she works long hours and feels that it would be best for him to find a another home. Here is her story and description of gorgeous Gogolito: He was born July 7, 2001 in Fresno County. He arrived in Orange County California with his identification paper in a Persian Family. A Persian Cat in a Persian Family! We named him Gogolito, Mr. Flower. Gogolito is very calm, not aggressive at all. He does not know how to use his nails. He is just gorgeous and a king with humble and proud attitude. He is very independent but at the same token very attached and loving! He needs human touch and affection and attention but because he is so proud and humble, he does not want to confess it by showing it, he is a Persian Proud Cat that does not want to show he is needy

Mastiff Need a Forever Home
Only Leonardo knows what he’s been through. And the 108-pound mastiff isn’t talking. He’s now up for adoption in Walnut Creek after having been locked in a bathroom for weeks with only a kitten and a Chihuahua for company.
In the other rooms of the vacant Central Valley house, there were two crates full of other Chihuahuas. None of them survived.
But Leonardo and his kitten and Chihuahua companions made it, likely drinking toilet water until being rescued by Kings County animal control officers. They had no food.
Their owners had moved to Las Vegas. Eventually, at the end of September, neighbors called animal control after seeing the driveway sit empty.

Mastiff up for adoption after abandonment (Lamorinda Sun)
More than 100 animals found a new home in the week leading up to Christmas, a record-setting adoption season for the Peninsula Humane Society which still has just over 200 furry friends looking to join a family.
During the seven days leading to Christmas, 115 of the animals available for adoption were adopted from the Peninsula Humane Society. Homes were found for 106 and 104 animals in 2007 and 2008 respectively. This year, the shelter passed the 110 adoption mark for the first time in the week-long period.

Pet adoptions up; 200 animals still need homes (San Mateo Daily Journal)
Tails of the City, a Los Angeles area pet rescue group, is asking for help after thieves stole the crates and pens used to hold animals during adoption events.
The 30 wire enclosures… valued at approximately $2,500… were apparently taken from the PETCO on La Brea, where they hold weekly pet adoption events, on Christmas night.
Without those crates, Tails of the City says it cannot hold its weekly pet adoptions.

There may not have been many presents under Martha Cuellar’s Christmas tree, but the 59-year-old Ontario resident had the best holiday ever.
After more than a month’s separation, Cuellar was reunited with her 12-year-old Chihuahua mix, Luna.
“I have my Christmas miracle,” said a tearful Cuellar. “I was afraid I was never going to see her again.”

In this season of good will, it is contrary to think about negative things. But I can't help but think about all the cats and kittens in this community who will never get a home. More than three quarters of all the cats and kittens that enter our county Animal Shelter will never come out alive. While some may be strays, many are also given up by owners for largely dubious reasons, mostly avoidable. Many if not most of all the cats and kittens, stray or owned, are adoptable, healthy felines.
Equally depressing are the ads in any newspaper's pet column advertising kittens “free to a good home.” How on earth do some of these people know what a “good home” is when they haven't even be responsible enough to spay their female cats.
“Free to a good home” ads are also invitations to people with heinous intentions. There are simply more cats and kittens than there are responsible and caring “forever” homes. So it with great joy I share this story of Bobbie, the homeless kitten who flew away.
Earlier this year, the Humane Society of Clarksville-Montgomery County and Montgomery County Animal Control and Adoption Service, entered into an agreement in which the Humane Society provides volunteers to help an understaffed Animal Control place the overwhelming number of dogs and cats who come through their doors.
