WILSON
Wilson is one of 4 male kittens from The Great Gatsby litter. All named after characters from the book. He may not have gotten The Great name himself, but don’t be fooled this sleek little guy is no back up character. Wilson takes charge of his family. He looks just like his brother only he has 2 little wisps of white hairs, on his back and on his chest. Wilson likes to play hard with Buchanan and just about anything else that moves. He plays hard, struts around the room, flicking his tail then crashes and sleeps hard. When not in high energy kitten mode, he curl up in your lap for a snooze. Wilson plays a little too rough to live with small children so older kids and maybe a mellow dog. He needs a cat friend in his new home and gets on well with his brothers Buchanan and Gatsby. We estimate he was born May 14, 2009. Bio# 2839C GW
FIONA
Fiona is the type of cat who will greet you at the door, tell you of her adventurous day and then go back and sit quietly in her special spot of the moment. She can be shy to start out but will quickly warm up to you. She is sometimes a gal and is fine telling foster buddies to move away from her food. She definitely likes human companionship but also likes her space now and then. She will watch a movie with you on the couch and can easily keep up her side of the conversation. She could be a solo cat or live with another. She should be okay with calm kids over 8 and gentle dogs. We estimate she was born in mid 2007. Bio# 2699 C
CHOCO
This wonderful kitten has an independent spirit. He enjoys exploring, he's very playful, loves all kitty toys and especially the swishing tail of his favorite cat buddy in his foster home. Choco only has one eye because he was injured and abused by a human in Oakland who damaged his eye to the point where it had to be removed! Thankfully he was taken by ICRA and nursed back to health. Despite this harsh start in his young life, he purrs at your first touch and loves affection. He gets around quite well with the sight of one eye. He is more of a snuggly boy than a lap cat. He is easy going and doesn't let much upset him. He just is too busy enjoying life to worry. His coloring is a dark chocolate brown with subtle black stripes. We estimate he was born in May of 2009. He will need a cat friend at home. He might not mind a mellow dog and calm kids. Bio# 2821 LH

INKY
Hi my name is Inky. My foster person says I'm very sweet, curious and adventurous. I like most everything! I love other cats. I love to climb, run and play. I also like being near my foster human. I will need a cat friend in my home. I adore being petted and groomed. I will be shy until I get to know you but once I warm up I am fine with calm kids over age 8 but haven't met a dog. They estimate I was born in February 2006. Bio# 2481B JI
BARKER
This little guy is reserved with new people but loves to play once he becomes comfortable. He is independent but likes to be entertained. As playful as he is at times he can also be mellow. When he wants to relax and feels secure he loves to find a lap to curl up on. Barker likes to stir things up so he needs a cat in his life who likes the same style of active play and doesn't mind standing up to him. He will need an adults only home, kids make him nervous. We estimate he was born July 15, 2007. Bio# 2600 CC
GATSBY
This small runt of the The Great Gatsby Liter has grown into his name. He now lives a lavish lifestyle similar to the nouveau riche Gatsby of Long Island, but this little guy definitely had a mysterious past that he doesn’t like to flaunt. The only sign of his past is the little crook in the tip of his tail. Broken from birth or scar from his first 8 weeks of life on the streets, searching for food with his 3 bigger brothers, he will never tell. Gatsby is sweet and rather regal now, but his street kitty comes out every once in awhile, which may make him not the greatest tough little guy to be with very young kids. He needs a cat friend in his new home and has two handsome brothers, Buchanan and Wilson. He should be fine with older children and maybe a mellow dog. We estimate he was born May 14, 2009.

PANTHER
Hi there! My name is Panther! Don't be be fooled by my intimidating name, for underneath my sleek black exterior is a sweet and sensitive spirit. I also have a white spot on my belly! I was rescued at a foreclosed home in Hayward around September 2008 by my foster. The owners left me, my 3 brothers and mom. We were very scared in the beginning. The owners only left us a bowl of food and water and we had nowehere to turn. Thank heavens we were found by a loving foster home. Now I have grown to appreciate humans and love them. After that nasty past of being outdoors I never want to see it again. At first I can be shy, but once I get to know you, I enjoy sitting on your tummy and being petted. My past-times include playing and wrestling with my brother Pawly and talking to the outdoor animals through the window in my secret language. I love to cuddle, but I can also be independent and play with my toys for hours. I am looking for a loving home and owner to call my home, and look forward to spending many years of fun and sweet memories with my family. I do need a companion since I am still a young boy, preferably my brother Pawly. I will probably do fine with calm kids over age 12. I was born around September 1, 2008. Bio# 030RR
MURPHY
A quiet and affectionate young cat once he bonds with his person, Murphy is also playful and curious. With strangers, Murphy is shy and needs time to warm up before he is himself. He will need patient encouragement by his new guardian until he has adjusted to his new home environment and can bond with his new family members. He enjoys the company of his brother, Max, in his foster home but he can be adopted separately from Max. Murphy would enjoy a home that has another cat or a possibly a cat-friendly, calm dog to cuddle and play with. He would likely do best in an adult only household. In June 2008, Murphy and his four siblings were rescued in Chinatown in Oakland shortly after their mother was struck and killed by a car. Murphy, Martin, Max and Millie are looking for loving homes. We estimate that they were born in early April 2008. Bio# 2730C BS
LARRY
Larry is very affectionate and probably a good lap cat when he settles in. He loves people and being held and petted. He's an alpha cat and would enjoy a friend, as long as they know he's the boss! Larry is a heavy duty boy and never misses a meal. He was found in a field, living on his own. Larry is so ready for a loving home! He is FIV+ , but he is asymptomatic and will most likely live a long, healthy life in your care. He could be a solo cat or live with a docile cat who doesn't mind if he is in charge. He should be fine with kids over age 12 and maybe a calm dog. We estimate he was born in 2001. Bio# 2497 DJ
TRISTAN
I'm Tristan and I am an unusual color for a cat. I am somewhere between a sable and chocolate brown in color. My brother Liam and I were rescued together and we were not sure if we should trust people at first. It took awhile to turn us around but our rescuer was determined to help us love people and didn't want to put us back where we'd been living on the streets of Oakland. It was a very unsafe area. I do need a home that is patient with me as I don't like change and can start off really shy. I need a home that will work with me on trusting folks and help me with my confidence level. Life on the streets was rough and being cared for is still something I am not used to yet. However, I do love to be petted and held. My estimated date of birth is May 2, 2007. Bio# 2575A JI
