My story

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

Beautiful Lena (F) and Spencer (M) are best friends who love to cuddle the day away when they aren't at their window perch watching the squirrels and birds outside. They are a special pair looking for a calm and quiet household with loving and very patient people who can continue to nurture them and help them feel less shy around people.

Lena has gorgeous copper coloring and big golden eyes. She enjoys playing with new kitty friends at her foster's house and especially enjoys leaping after the feathers on her stick toy. Her favorite place to be is cuddled up with her soulmate Spencer. Lena is a true cat's cat. Sadly, she suffered some type of trauma when she was a young kitten and is now nervous around most people. She is making progress and when she's relaxed, she will allow her person to pet her and offers a sweet purr in return. She has chosen our 15 year old to be her best person and follows him around "talking to him when he's home. She loves meal time and is the first to the bowl; if she is kept waiting, she is very vocal in her reminders! She loves playing with her stuffed mice toys and lounging on the window seat. She is about a two and a half, is spayed, and up to date on all vaccines. Lena experienced a short seizure in March 2022 for which the vet could not determine a specific cause but has been healthy since and went through her spay surgery with no issues.

Spencer is a stunning silver/gray long hair boy with huge blue eyes. He enjoys lounging in the sun and loves being brushed. If approached quietly by his trusted person, he allows pets and will sometimes climb on a lap if his person is on the floor beckoning to him. He is shy around the other foster kittens initially but generally warms up after a few weeks. He LOVES to eat and has recently been put on a lower calorie diet to help him slim down. His favorite thing is to be wherever Lena is. Spencer is approximately 3 years old, neutered and is up to date on all his shots. He was initially found outside and likely experienced some type of cruelty which would explain his jumpiness and shyness around new people.

These gorgeous kitties will bring the right family so much joy with their sweetness and playful antics. They may not ever become lap-cats, but in a stable home with lots of loving attention, they both will be wonderful companions. Homes with dogs or children under 12 would not be a good fit for this sweet duo. Please text their foster mom Dana for more information about this special pair at (336) 775-7730. Please contact AARF at www.aarfws.org for questions surrounding the adoption process, fees, etc. Thank you!
