My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PLEASE MEET BUSTER and GIGI - the ultimate feline version of Romeo and Juliet! As Shakespeare's play didn't have an happy ending for his young lovers, we decided to keep the original names for our feline love birds, given to them when they were still outdoors: BUSTER and GIGI - a TRUE FELINE LOVE STORY - so deep in love - beyond words to describe.
BUSTER and GIGI appeared at some day on the patio of a warm-hearted woman, flirting with and purring to each other in full delight. So the woman started to feed them and reached out to us if we could at least TNR them as Gigi seemed to be already pregnant. Of course, we went into action to at least TNR both cats but ending up to keep Gigi inside due to unforeseen circumstances - please read GIGI's amazing rescue in her separate bio at:

Although BUSTER was well taken care of with food, water and shelter on the patio- he was devastated to be separated from Gigi, that was kept indoors after seeing the vet. So BUSTER was sitting everyday in front of the terrace door looking inside if she would join him again and GIGI chirping and purring from inside through the window..
Finally we found a foster that opened his heart to these 'des chats d'amours' and BUSTER and GIGI were finally reunited and moved into their foster home. All we can say is, we have never seen a pair SOOO HAPPY - not only being indoors and safe - but together - purrever. These two are inseparable - always sitting and cuddling together so tangled that you can barely see who is who - often it looks just like a big fur ball on the blanket or sofa.
LOVE is in the air: https://youtu.be/Fv55Qm8ZSe0
Even though BUSTER was the more 'crispy' kitty outdoors, it turns out that he is such a big mush with an even bigger heart as he was the first one to hop next to his foster Dad on the sofa, accepting pets and chin scratches and worked slowly his gorgeous body towards Dad's lap and chest. And of course GIGI followed him soon after as she didn't want to be separated from her 'Romeo' all too long. And to our joy, BOTH continue to become more and more affectionate to their human as well.
Of course as every young felines, both are super playful, bouncing balls, chasing fluffy mice, jumping happily after the wand their Foster Dad wiggles in front of heir noses or just hanging out on the cat tree with some playful moves.

BUSTER and GIGI are ready to settle into their furever home - TOGETHER - looking for love, affection and human company all day long.

BUSTER and GIGI tested negative for FIV/FELV, are dewormed and deflead, vaccinated, microchipped and otherwise fully vetted!

COME and meet these feline LOVE BIRDS to PURRFECTION - there will be so much feline love in the air in their future furever home and also for their future human parent - we promise!
