Barbie, domestic longhair and tabby mix
Barbie is a female domestic longhair and tabby mix being cared for at Silicon Valley Pet Project.
She's already vaccinated and spayed. She's mastered her house-training etiquette.
Notes from Barbie's caretakers:
Ken and Barbie are a bonded pair, so we're looking for a home for them together. They are beautiful, healthy kitties who are in need of a home together. They'd do well as barn cats, or shop cats, and would be happy to help keep your rodent population in check. It's possible that with time, they may warm up to people, but adopters should know that they're unlikely to be able to touch them anytime soon.

October, calico and Maine coon mix
October is a female calico and Maine coon mix currently residing at 13th St Cats.
October's ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. She's vaccinated.
October's current caretakers say:
My gosh isnt' she pretty, she knows it but is no Prima Donna either. Yes, October is a character, enjoys being petted, brushed gently and playing some. She is people-oriented and is a great companion cat for a single person or quiet home, as is common with calicos.

You have never met a cat more affectionate than Simba. This guy is the ultimate lap cat. If you are sitting down and he’s around, he will find a way on to your lap — even if it’s not very comfortable. He is an expert at purring, cuddling and making biscuits. He has short bursts of energy and likes to play.

In search of a sidekick? Loki has been practicing to be your right-hand cat. He has mastered the art of lap-lounging and has proven to be a proficient attention seeker. Needy? Never!
