My personality

My story

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

LOCATED IN WATERLOO, ON at PetSmart Waterloo
DOB 19 April 2025
DSH brown tabby
Microchipped

Pippin (Peregrin Took) and Merry (Merladoc Brandybuck) are sisters and it was just the two of them in the litter. These sweet, playful girls were born in a foster home after their mother had been rescued from a hoarding house.

They are two peas in a pod and from day one were rolling around together. They love to play together and are always gentle in their play with each other as well as being gentle with the people who play with them. They love string toys, catnip mice, balls, pens that fall on the floor, anything that they can bat around.

Pippin and Merry play elaborate games of hide and seek, and when they're done racing around and pouncing on each other, they will find a comfy place to snooze. They love snuggly hammocks high up in a cat tree. They like interacting with people and will sometimes snuggle up on a lap. They are always happy to be cuddled (for a short time) and played with (for a long time).

Pippin is cheerful, inquisitive and fun, although a teeny bit more reserved than Merry.

Note: Little Pippin does have a heart health concern, which for now needs no intervention. She has been diagnosed with a grade 4 heart murmur and Double Chamber Right Ventricle (DCRV) and 2 other congenital deformities - a hole in her heart, which can potentially close on its own as she grows, and subaortic stenosis which can cause obstructive blood flow, but in her case it has not obstructed it yet. These conditions will likely affect her life span. Check ups with a cardiologist will be required to monitor her condition and see how she is progressing. Medication may be needed in the future.
