My story

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

Can YOU be the person to give two wonderful rescued cats the 1st day of the rest of their lives?

Bettie and Bonito - a bonded pair of adult cats that fell in love when they lived outside. A very rare, bonded combination that will be a special addition to your family.

Bettie is a gorgeous petite Russian Blue/Nebelung mix - and oh so photogenic. She has adapted to indoor living beautifully. Our vet estimates she is between 6-8 years old.

Once she knows you are her person, she’ll flop over at your feet and ask to be very softly stroked from the back of her head to her tail. Her likes include bathing her best friend Bonito, watching birds and making ek-ek noises, and eating Temptations treats. 

You will find Bettie snuggling and grooming Bonito often. It's heartwarming to watch how they look after each other.

Bonito, on the other hand, is a big boy. A big SWEET boy. A gorgeous buff flamepoint short haired cat that we are estimating to be about 10 years old.

Bonito has the appetite of Jabba the Hut, the mind of a goldfish, and the heart of a yellow lab puppy. He’s the absolute best. He isn’t particular about how you show him affection, and will even let you touch his feet. He likes getting scritches, especially in places he can’t reach. He doesn’t yet understand what kisses are, but enjoys giving gentle love bites and nibbling on exposed arms and legs. This boy LOVES treats. 

He doesn’t always like that Bettie instigates play fights, but she knows he needs the exercise and secretly he does too. He enjoys Churu treats, sitting on laps, intruding on bathroom time, and long walks from the couch to the food. 

Adopting this pair into your home will make their rescue story and their love affair complete. They will make wonderful family members for anyone who is looking for some kitty companionship.

Living outside in Menlo Park, they were fed by a wonderful family for years. The two met on the outside and became fast friends. Bonito was brought into foster first because he was so darn friendly. There was no way he belonged outside. Once he was rescued we learned that Betty missed him terribly... so thanks to their kind hearted foster mom, Bettie and Bonito were reunited.

Both are spayed/neutered and up to date on all of their vaccines. Both have had full medical examinations and are both very healthy. Given Bonito's age we had his teeth checked out and taken care of too.

They are both ready for you to love on them.

Additional adoption info

While we do offer a FaceTime or in home visit, it is not about checking on your housekeeping. The purpose of the home visit is to check for safety hazards so that we can counsel new adopters how to make a safer environment for their new family member.
