Story
Hello! Brooke and Bluenose arrived to the shelter in November of 2025 as tiny babies (just over a pound!). Since arriving to the shelter, a cage has been a very scary place for them… although we don’t know what life was like before here, we know these 2 have come very far. Although they are weary of new surroundings and learning to trust people these 2 bring out the best in each other. They love to play and run around, catnip is always a good time, and treats are the way to their heart. After just a short couple weeks in foster these very timid and skittish kittens have made significant progress. From taking treats from your hand to cuddling up next to you at night slowly but surely, they are learning to trust. Although loud noises and movements startle them, this sister duo is learning that people aren’t so bad! With patience, treats (lots of them), and some time these girls will bring lots of love and excitement into your life!
