Molly is such a sweet girl. She was found in Phillipsburg, NJ and was just looking for anyone to love. She is a beautiful, Tabby calico and would love a home of her own. Molly tested positive for FIV. Molly is not aggressive and loves other kitties, so if you are looking for a young cat to be with other FIV cats she would fit in perfectly. Or if you just want one cat she would be just fine, just as long as she gets a lot of attention. With the right nutrition, and a yearly checkup with your vet she should be around for over 15 years. Molly is in otherwise excellent health, so please give this wonderful girl a loving home. Molly is current on all her shots, tested negative for FELV and is spayed.

Romeo was rescued from a local car dealership in Santa Clara,CA. Romeo is six months young and is the sweetest kitten. Romeo loves attention and is the friendliest boy; he sits with you when watching TV, lays with you when sleeping and is always there to say "hi." Plus he loves to play. Romeo has tested positive for FeLV and cannot be adopted into a home with unaffected cats. Romeo would do best with another FeLV kitty or a single household who could give him the love he deserves. Romeo's life started out rough and we would like to see him happy. Adopting him into a home with another kitty or a understanding home is the first option. Romeo shows no signs of the disease right now and just shows his love all day. Despite his rough beginning, Romeo is happy and super sweet. Will you consider adopting Romeo?

Maggie is a gorgeous Calico with lovely, lovely markings, about two years old, and very sweet. Maggie is FIV positive and is otherwise a very healthy cat. She loves to be brushed or have her back scratched and is a perfect lap cat. FIV positive cats can live long, healthy lives. While many FIV positive cats can be placed with other positive cats, Maggie will be happiest if she is an only cat. She loves humans and, while she gets along with other felines, she far prefers human company. Maggie should be indoor only and have her health should monitored closely to watch for any infections. Maggie has been tested negative for FeLV, has been spayed and has all her vaccinations. Maggie is presently living outside of Cloverdale in northern Sonoma County, CA.

OB is FIV positive and so cannot come indoors with his foster's other cats. He currently lives in a shed in a little insulated kitty yurt where he is fed daily. He has been asymptomatic for the last two years. He is a very affectionate, loving cat and would make someone a great pet. He tolerates other cats, but has a submissive personality, so he may be bossed around quite easily. He warms up to strangers pretty easily. He is neutered and up-to-date on all of his shots. He should be adopted into a committed, loving home where he can live as an indoor/outdoor kitty. He now lives in Red Lodge, Montana. For more information mtmildredb@gmail.com |

Stella is a sweet, loving kitten who
desperately needs a home just as caring as she is. She was found abandoned
in an ally recently, and I took her in and nursed her back to health.
Unfortunately, Stella has been diagnosed with FeLv and might need some
extra care throughout her life. She doesn't let that stop her though:
Stella is active and incredibly playful. She also has developed a great
fondness for hiding in my purse. Because of her infection, Stella
should not be around other uninfected cats. But she would make a great pet
for anyone with another FeLv positive kitty or in a family as a single
cat. She is such a sweet girl, and she deserves a great home.

Iceey is as bright as a new copper penny in her coloring and intelligence. She has figured out how to open the sliding glass door, pocket doors, cabinets, and drawers. She loves to play soccer, tag, and tug with her adopted siblings and when she is tired or in need of a hug loves to cuddle on laps, curl around necks, or where ever the nearest person happens to be. She was severely injured when she was very young. Her lower abdomen was bruised almost black all the way across and the tip of her left ear was black. She could not move her hind legs or tail and had no response to touch or painful stimuli in those areas up to her mid back. There were no open wounds, but she was in shock and trembling. The vet got her started on prednisone and a therapy schedule that included swimming by my vet. She absolutely hated it but did it faithfully and slowly she went from dragging her hind legs, to wobbly stumbles, to now. She still has a slight sway to the right but she runs, jumps, climbs, everything that kittens are supposed to do she can do. Her tail was amputated when she was spayed because the feeling never returned and she could only lift it a few inches off the floor. Her balance has improved with the tail gone. She no longer needs to be stimulated to empty her bowels and bladder but wears a diaper when she goes out and at night. There is hope that more improvement could occur, she is young and everyday she gets stronger. For more information jake.beverley@sbcglobal.net |

Mr. Magoo: A Bideawee “Second
Start” cat, we pulled Mr. Magoo out of the city shelter, where he landed
after he was picked up as a stray. Strangely, he was already neutered –
did someone actually abandon this helpless sweetheart? Mr. Magoo was born
with a condition that made him blind. He is about 2 years old and is,
understandably, quite fearful in new environments. With TLC, and a safe
and loving home, we are sure he will be a wonderful companion for any
adult home. He is in New York, NY WATCH MY VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRaUWsDniWA For more information email audrey.fisher@bideawee.org |

Hello, my name is Sniffles and I am a
very special kitty. I am a six month old yellow, tan, and white male
kitty. A few months ago, someone rescued me from a cow
pasture. I was emaciated and had a severe case of an upper
respiratory infection. The person who rescued me did not even
know if I would make it through the night. Thanks to some wonderful
veterinarians and the care of my foster mom, I have made
amazing progress. I don’t even resemble that kitty anymore.
I am very playful and social. I have gained two pounds and I
am healthy now. I do have one problem and that is that the
infection from the upper respiratory infection has damaged my eyes and I
am unable to see. The veterinarians and my foster mom do not
know how long I was infected but unfortunately by the time I was, the
damage was already done. I was taken to a Feline Ophthalmologist to
see if there was anything that could be done to help me see, but
unfortunately the damage is permanent.
I function just like any other cat. I climb up and down stairs, I have never had an accident, I play with toys, and I chase the other cats around the house. I have learned to compensate my vision loss with my hearing and smell. I can find anything and I am a genius at maneuvering around furniture. Sometimes, I get excited when I am playing and I forget where I am and I run into something. I am looking for a special home where I can play and get a lot of attention. I have an appointment on June 4th, to get neutered, I am not looking forward to that at all, but my foster mom is making me go. If you are interested in adopting me please contact my foster mom at judya24@msn.com |

Have you ever felt so scared, you wanted to huddle up in a ball and tell everyone to just stay away? That is how poor JJ feels when he is at adoption events. What he does not know is that his swatting and hissing is scaring away everyone who might be able to give him what he wants most, a loving home of his own. He is sure to love you once he gets over his fear and starts to trust you. He is a snuggly couch potato when you want him to be, and ready to chase when you want to play. JJ likes to be spoiled by his special human so it may not work to introduce him to a household full of other creatures or children. But still, he dreams that there is a place for him. Would you like to meet him? JJ is nine years old, is current on his vaccinations and is neutered. He has diabetes (easily treated with an injection twice a day), gum disease and allergies (also easily treated with pills). He knows he does not stand out among other cats since he is old and he has special needs. But is there someone out there who might like a sweet guy to snuggle with until the end of his days? He only asks that you make his last years his best. JJ is located in Richmond, CA. For more information emaillauraj@gmail.com |

Two brothers, Ralph and Norton, were
cruelly abandoned. Norton was recently adopted, but Ralph is still
looking for a home! The handsome 8 year old tabby will take time to adapt
to a new home, but we know that once he settles in, he will be loving,
furry companion! He is currently living on the 4th floor, where he loves
to sit on our laps, roll around, and enjoy belly rubs. Ralph needs a
quiet, adult home that will be able to manage his diabetes and provide
oodles of TLC! He is in New York, NY

VALENTINE: On Valentine's Day, this poor boy came to Bideawee after suffering traumatic injuries, most likely from being hit by a car. A handsome 1 year old tuxedo, he was aptly named Valentine. Our veterinarians treated him for shock, pain, and multiple injuries, including a punctured lung, leg fractures, leg paralysis, and skin abrasions. Valentine has come a long way in just a couple of weeks, and this friendly kitty is ready to go home with a nice family! This kitty is very playful and very cuddly. His front right foot will never heal quite properly, but he is able to live life normally despite this mild handicap. Valentine is a great match for any home!
