#### **OUR WISH LIST**
Peninsula Friends of Animals has a need for a variety of products, from cat food and litter to cleaning supplies. All of our needs are the items we need to keep our rescue animals healthy and happy, and to give them the best chance for a good life in a forever home.
The following is a list of our current needs. Most of these items are available in local stores: Costco, Walmart, Safeway, QFC or Home Depot. We also have a wish list on Amazon / Amazon Smile! Although Amazon has discontinued the Amazon Smile program, the PFOA wish list is still there. You can still purchase items for us from Amazon by clicking the  link, but we will no longer receive a donation from Amazon. And if you have the time and inclination, you can also provide your feedback on the Amazon Smile program by clicking ***here***.
Be sure to check out our ***Dare to Dream*** items at the end of this page, which include some major shelter needs. On behalf of the kitties at Safe Haven and Barker House, and the many rescue animals in foster care, we thank you for any contributions you are able to make.

##### **SPANKY**
Domestic Shorthair, Male
Color: Black w/White (Tuxedo)
Size: Medium
Born: July 1, 2008 (approx)
Special needs: none
Spanky is a very handsome tuxedo cat.  He was bonded to his “brother” companion, Spatzi for ten years until Spatzi crossed the Rainbow Bridge on October 14, 2021.  Spanky is a handsome tuxedo cat. Spanky is one of the gentlest souls you will ever meet. He is the textbook example of a well-behaved, loving cat. He tends to be more laid back than his brother was, often lounging in a bed or cat tree. He is easily approachable and loves to be petted and fawned over. Spanky has diabetes and receives twice daily insulin shots but is quite well regulated.

Color: Tabby w/white

BONDED WITH SISTER, ELSA
These kittens are very active, playful purrballs. They go
bananas over the feather wands, run and jump all over the place, and sometimes settle down for a lap cuddle. There were a total of eight in our main kitten room—three black/white, one almost all black, two grey and white tabbies, one orange tabby and one orange/white.  Six of them are now in their forever homes, and Elsa and Ellie, the smallest of the group, are now ready for their special home together.

**GIZMO**
Domestic mediumhair, male

These kittens are very active, playful purrballs. They go bananas over the feather wands, run and jump all over the place, and sometimes settle down for a lap cuddle.

**SUNNY**
Color: Orange/white tabby
**ANNA**
Lynx point cross, female
Color: Grey/white w/tabby markings
Age: Young adult
This blue-eyed lynx point -cross beauty came to us when her people had to move and, sadly, were not able to take Anna with them.  After her initial intake process, she adjusted quickly to life in the downstairs adult playroom at Safe Haven, and it became obvious how people-oriented this little girl really is.
She has the most affectionate personality, and will roll over on her back to have her tummy rubbed – a clear sign of the trust she has in people.  She will put her head in your hand, asking to be petted – nonstop, if you please.  She is comfortable with being bathed, and she is used to riding around in a Bubble back pack.  Although she loves playing with toys and feather wands in her secure indoor playroom, she definitely prefers to spend her time with people.  She’s the first one to come running to the door when people walk by, and the last one to “wave” goodbye when they leave.
If you are looking for an all-around wonderful cat who will love you unconditionally, look no further.  Just give us a call to come and meet our Anna-Banana!
**CALI**
Domestic Shorthair, female
Color: brown tabby
Age: Young
BONDED WITH MARSHMALLOW
Descripti
Cali is a pretty little calico tabby with large green eyes.  Shee arrived at Safe Haven early in May with her very best friend, Marshmallow.  The two of them are very close, and are looking for that special forever home together.
Cali and Marshmallow are both very friendly with people, and like most cats, love to be in high places.  Cali’s favorite spot is snuggling in the cat tree in their playroom.
While Marshmallow is very easy-going, and gets along well with most other cats, Cali is more of a one-cat cat, and that cat is Marshmallow.  The two of them need to find that perfect new home together where they can have their new human family all to themselves.

**MIMOSA**
Color: Tortie
Bonded best friend: Willie
This adorable young polydactyl tortie had a litter of six before arriving at Safe Haven. She came from Forks with two other kitties…Willie and Nelson. It was originally thought that Willie and Nelson were a bonded pair, but it turned out that Mimosa and Willie are the bonded pair,  and both were very unhappy when separated.  Now back together, they bath and sleep together all the time!
Mimosa is very keen…and watches things.  In most cases she lets Willie take the lead and he usually does.  She is not a shy kitty.
##### **SPATZI (January 12, 2005 – October 14, 2021)**
Color: Brown w/white
Size: large
Born: January 12, 2005
Special needs: renal insufficiency
We are sad to report that our Spatzi crossed the Rainbow Bridge on the evening of October 14, 2021.
Spatzi was a beautiful Siamese mix.  His companion of the last ten years has been Spanky, a very handsome tuxedo cat. Two of the gentlest souls you will ever meet, they have been the text book example of well-behaved, loving cats. Spatzi was the more outgoing of the two, often greeting you at the door with a friendly meow and a leg rub. Spanky tends to be more laid back, often lounging in a bed or cat tree. He is easily approachable and loves to be petted and fawned over. Spatzi was in early renal insufficiency and was easily maintained with the fluids he was given twice weekly.
!**FAGIN (March, 2003 – September 16, 2021)**
**FAGIN** was born in March, 2003 and had been at Safe Haven since July, 2003. He was a green-eyed, short-haired black male who could best be described as a “big lug” full of love. He would “head butt” and lean into his human and feline friends to show his affection. He liked brushing and belly rubs on occasion, too. Fagin was under dietary restriction, and had been quite successful losing some excess weight. Since 2003, he lived at Barker House with his brother, Thistle.
We are sad to report that on September 16, 2021, Fagin joined his twin brother across the Rainbow Bridge.  As much as we will miss Fagin, we know that he will be so happy to be with his brother again, together, forever.

!**LUCY-ALICE**
One day, in early 2011, a sweet, gentle, affectionate little Manx kitten named Lucy-Alice was adopted from PFOA. Lucy-Alice resembled a very small, very colorful Lynx, with her gorgeous green eyes, pointed tufted ears, and calico tabby markings. It was easy to fall in love with her, and she found the best of homes with a couple who adored her.
What her loving parents didn’t know, was that some Manx cats are afflicted with Manx syndrome, a spinal disorder. The mutation that causes the loss or shortening of the tail also affects the spine, spinal cord and nerves. As a result, cats with this condition may have problems with bowel and bladder control. The condition generally shows up in kittens by the time they are four months old.
Lucy-Alice did not show any signs of Manx syndrome until a year after she was adopted. Of course, by this time, Lucy-Alice was a much loved member of her new family. When she began to have little “accidents”, they hoped that they were just that – simple accidents. But they were attached to Lucy-Alice. She was so loved. “Maybe she will grow out of it,” they thought. “It will just take a little more time.”
After considerable more time, they had to acknowledge that Lucy-Alice would not grow out of it. Their decision was heart-wrenching, but unavoidable. They contacted Nancy, the Shelter Director at Peninsula Friends of Animals. Could PFOA take Lucy-Alice back? This was not a decision to be taken lightly. Lucy-Alice would require a substantial investment of time and money.  A generous gift from a very special supporter allowed PFOA to set up a special area, called “Turtle Towers”, for Lucy-Alice and an older kitten, Bobbie Jo, who also has Manx syndrome. Unfortunately, Bobbie Jo, having lived her first years of life as a single kitty, did not enjoy the company of gregarious Lucy-Alice and trouble broke out between the two girls. It became apparent that the best thing would be to separate the pair.
Lucy-Alice is one of the sweetest, most loving kitties anyone could ever hope to meet. Everyone who spends any time with her falls irrevocably in love with her. And that’s what happened when Tracy, Animal Caretaker at Barker House, first met Lucy-Alice in the summer of 2016. On a bright, sunny day, a couple of months later, Tracy came to pick up Lucy-Alice and take her to her new home at Barker House, a small PFOA facility designed for the care of special needs animals.  Lucy-Alice will probably remain at Barker House for the rest of her life. There are very few people who have the type of facilities, and the time, money and dedication needed to provide a good home for her. PFOA is committed to providing Lucy-Alice with the best quality of life possible.
We are grateful to the sponsors who contribute to the care of Lucy-Alice, as well as our other special needs animals.  While we still hope that Lucy may find her own family to love and care for her, it is not likely. So, for the rest of her days, Lucy will enjoy her life with her beloved caregiver in the sunny warm rooms of Barker House.
!**MARTHA**
**MARTHA** was born in May, 2001 and came to PFOA in February, 2002. She loves attention and “talks” to the volunteers who regularly visit her. She was recently placed in a foster home, where she has adjusted well and has a happy home.
