This quiet pair arrived at our shelter late October of 2023, as their owner could no longer care for them due to health complications. Understandably, these two have been quite timid for the majority of their time here as shelter life can be extremely stressful and scary for cats, especially older ones. Throughout their stay, however, the pair has slowly started coming out of their shells with much patience and the help of our dedicated cat socialization volunteers, suggesting they may become full of personality some day.
Buttons and Oriel are easily startled cats, which leads us to believe they would do best in a low activity household with no other animals. Oriel is slightly more understanding and tolerant than her sister and enjoys head and back petting, while Buttons enjoys very gentle head petting but will certainly let you know when enough is enough with a hiss (don't take it personally, she's just sensitive!). They both enjoy the occasional wet food treat along with a secure place to hide filled with comfortable bedding, and while it isn't necessary, they would thrive if they had a room designated just for them!
These lovely girls are in need of someone who has experience with cats that have complicated personalities; someone who is very patient, understanding, and isn't opposed to having a pair that enjoy their own space and aren't big on cuddling but enjoy having a caregiver to look out for them. If you're someone who is in need of two diamonds in the rough to keep you company, please consider applying for Buttons and Oriel today!
