    A Canine Old Soul and a Feline Loverboy

    Old Man Jenkins

    At 9 years old and just under 43 pounds, Old Man Jenkins arrived at the shelter underweight, with visible injuries to his face and an unspoken story of hardship. Despite it all, he remains calm, kind, and full of quiet dignity. He’s easy on leash, enjoys short strolls, and takes treats ever so gently—especially if there’s a kind word to go with them.

    This sweet senior is independent but content in the company of others, including well-matched dog friends. He won’t demand much—just a warm place to rest, someone to love him for who he is, and a soft voice to remind him he’s finally safe. He enjoys brief affection, short walks, and peaceful companionship. He’s started to gain weight since arriving and would benefit from continued vet care and lots of TLC.

    If you’ve got a soft spot for the old souls who ask for little and give so much, Old Man Jenkins may just be your match. He’s looking for a calm, loving home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by kindness. Come meet Old Man Jenkins at Oakland Animal Services and give this beautiful boy the retirement he deserves.

    Monster Truck

    This handsome grey male, a domestic short hair just over a year old, sports a beautiful striped grey coat that appeals to both humans and other cats alike. He has drawn the attention of other cats at the shelter, both male and female, so Monster Truck has some sort of feline mojo that is very attractive in the cat world!

    He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on his vaccinations—and available for you! Please consider adopting this charismatic cat who is just out of kittenhood and ready to begin his new life with a loving human(s). And please consider renaming him! We’re not sure where “Monster Truck” came from—well, it does grab some attention—but we have nicknamed him
    Loverboy.
