Birch & Little Richard: Best Friends, Braver Together
Some friendships are forged in fire. Others in bottle feedings, vet visits, and quiet moments of trust. Little Richard and Birch have been through it all—side by side, heart to heart.
Little Richard, a bottle baby with a heart as big as his purrs, is the kind of cat who rolls with anything: dogs, kids, being held, and cuddles. He’s sunshine in feline form. Birch, his quieter counterpart, is more selective—he’s not a fan of hyper dogs, loud little ones, and not a fan of being held but loves attention, and we respect that. He’s earned the right to choose peace.
Birch has just cleared a major medical milestone. His brother passed away from panleukopenia, but he never contracted the disease; he had other underlying problems.
After constantly being sick and on medications, it was found that he had a polyp! So he had a partial polyp removal, a CT scan, and rhinoscopy surgery, our vets have finally given him the all-clear. He’s been brave through every step, and while he may take a little time to settle in, having Little Richard by his side makes all the difference.
They’re over a year old now—past the kitten chaos, bonded like brothers, and ready for a home that sees them not just as pets, but as survivors, companions, and a reminder that love heals best when shared.
If you’ve got a quiet space, a gentle heart, and room for two best friends who’ve already proven they’re stronger together.?
Their adoption fee is $150
