My story

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

DOB: March 31, 2025

Meet Tweedledum, half of a charming bonded pair looking for a home together.

Personality notes:
- Playful
- Can be talkative (when it's meal time and towards his brother Tweedledee)
- He is the braver of the pair, and will warm up more quickly: he is very affectionate when he wants to be
- Not dominant: he seems to be submissive towards other cats, and very friendly with them
- Gentle and calm natured boy
- Like Tweedledee, still skittish but he has mostly gotten used to our presence and the noises

Quirks:
- Loves watching his YouTube bird TV
- Loves the laser pointer and feather wand toys
- Prefers Churu tubes over dry treats

From the foster family:
While Tweedledum is still a shy boy at heart, he is the slightly more courageous explorer of the pair. He acts as the "security blanket" for his brother, Tweedledee, and is often the first to decide that a new person might actually be okay.

The Brave First Step: It takes a little time to earn his trust, but the reward is worth it. Once Tweedledum warms up to you, he loves to show his affection by rubbing against your legs—though he’d prefer to keep all four paws on the ground, he isn't a fan of being picked up! He also enjoys back scratches and some light brushing.

A Protective Bond: He is deeply bonded with Tweedledee. If his brother isn't nearby, Tweedledum will cry out to find him. Because they rely on each other so much, they are looking for a special "forever home" that can welcome them both.

His Love Language: Like his brother, he follows the "hiss first, ask questions later" rule when he's scared, but he is never aggressive. He’s just a sensitive guy looking for safety. He loves other friendly cats and is always down for a snack—Churu is the fastest way to his heart!

The Perfect Match: We are looking for a patient owner who understands that love doesn't always mean constant cuddles. If you find joy in the "little moments"—like the first time he approaches you for a leg rub—then Tweedledum and Tweedledee will truly feel like home.

Thank you for giving two best friends a loving home together! Our adoption fee for an adult bonded pair is $192.50 per cat, versus our standard fee of $250 per adult cat.

Additional adoption info

Adoption fee is $250 per adult cat, and $330 for kittens (under 8 months old).

This ensures that the cats that come into our care receive the attention they need, are spayed or neutered, and receive a rabies vaccination at the appropriate age. For City of Toronto residents, the adoption fee includes a mandatory City of Toronto cat license that is valid for one year. As you can imagine, these fees only begin to cover our costs; donations and ongoing fundraising efforts carry us the rest of the way!

Note:
-Senior cats (8 years or older) have an adoption fee of the adopter's choice, vs. our standard adult adoption fee of $250.
-Our adoption fee for an adult bonded pair (8 months or older) is $192.50 per cat vs. $385 per cat. Thanks for giving two loving friends a home together!
