Story
Baby and Toby are a bonded sibling pair who were adopted from us about a year ago and recently returned due to circumstances beyond their control. Despite the upheaval, they remain the sweetest, most affectionate duo you could hope to meet. These two are incredibly cuddly and social. They can be adopted together or separately, but both truly enjoy the company of other cats and are especially gentle and loving with children. They’ve outgrown the kitten destruction phase but still have plenty of youthful, playful energy—making them the perfect balance of fun and calm for a family home. Baby carries herself with queenly composure and absolutely adores shaky mouse toys. Toby is a long, handsome boy with a curious, outgoing personality who loves to explore and engage with his surroundings. Together, they are truly gorgeous, well-mannered, and in the prime of their lives—ready to slide seamlessly into your heart and home.
