Two young boys at the San Jose shelter have caught our attention with their beauty and won our hearts with their personalities. They do not have names as they were turned in as stray but it's obvious they have been around people.
"Snowshoe" is about a year and a half old. Snowshoe kitties are known for their sweet and mellow temperament, intelligence and devotion to their owners.
"White Kitty" is still a kitten at about nine months old. He is very affectionate and loves to be petted.

These gorgeous boys have tested faintly positive for FeLV - feline leukemia virus. Unfortunately the test for FeLV often gives incorrect results. There is a possibility that these cats are at risk of euthanasia for a disease they might not have. They should be retested and the cost would be covered by a sponsoring rescue organization
And, if they are positive, FeLV kitties can live long happy lives. They need to be only cats as to not transfer the virus to non FeLV felines but they can live with other FeLV cats, dogs and rabbits etc!
