This darling 7 month old guy relies on his siblings for comfort and will need to be adopted with one of them to thrive in his new home. He is shy but sweet. He has been loving the attention and pets he gets from his foster, and learning from his siblings how to accept affection. He purrs very loudly!!This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home!

Story
This is the bio   Meet Hershey and Heath — an adorable pair of bonded twin brothers who are as sweet as their names!   These two are total lovebugs at heart. They jump right into your lap, purring nonstop and soaking up affection. Hershey (the darker twin without any white) does have a playful, mischievous streak — he loves to pounce and gently bite hands during cuddles, and can be a bit hard to redirect. Because of this, the boys would do best in a home without young children (under 10).   They’ve done wonderfully with laid-back adult cats, quickly bonding and even sharing mealtime from the same plate as their foster’s 4-year-olds. They’re social, adaptable, and confident around other friendly felines.   Hershey and Heath are energetic kittens who spend their days playing chase, wrestling, and sprinting after ribbons and laser lights. When they finally slow down, you’ll find them curled up in each other’s arms — they are truly inseparable.   Both boys have excellent litter box habits and, thanks to good scratching options (posts and a tough rug), have shown almost no interest in scratching furniture.   If you’re looking for a pair of affectionate, active, deeply bonded kittens who will fill your home with love and laughter, Hershey and Heath are the perfect match. ##2598816##
