Animal Sanctuary and Care Society
Cat Rescue & Adoptions in Marin County, CA
Our featured cat — Leo! =^..^=
Leo is such a charming little guy! He is only about 3 1/2 years old and already he has had quite a life. Rescued from a hoarding situation, he came to ASCS about a year ago. He is a beautiful tabby and white boy. He has a funny crimped ear (from a past hematoma) and one of his eyes is a bit cloudy (though he sees just fine). We think this just makes him all the more handsome!
Leo has a wonderful personality -- he is so loving and sweet. He loves a lap, lots of hugs and pets! He is like a little dog that follows you around. Leo is also good with other kitties.
So, you're wondering why he hasn't been adopted! Well, Leo has tested positive for FIV (also known as kitty aids). It's an unfair stigma, because he is healthy and can live a normal healthy life. FIV is transmitted only by a severe bite or mating -- and only to other cats (not dogs, kids, you or me!) It is suggested that FIV kitties are adopted as an only cat (or with other FIV kitties). I also believe that Leo would be ok with a nice little dog!
We are happy to give you more info on FIV if you are interested in adopting our Leo... he is really special and he deserves a loving home!

Looking for a new cat in Marin?
The Animal Sanctuary and Care Society - ASCS Cats is a Marin non-profit cat rescue and adoption organization, dedicated to finding homes for cats and kittens rescued from many different situations. Some have been given up by previous guardians who can no longer care for them, some simply abandoned. Others are rescued from the dozens of northern California shelters where they euthanize thousands of healthy, sweet, friendly cats for lack of space, funds or education. We try to help as many as we can.

How Marin businesses can help!
When The Boardwalk Market in Tiburon and the Real Foods in Sausalito closed, ASCS Cats lost two of its best locations for donation boxes. If you are a Marin business owner or you know one that is willing to host one or more of our donation boxes, please contact us and a big thank you! =^..^= Please see the Our Sponsors section of our site for other Marin business that currently support ASCS Cats.
