Story
Life-long bonded pair with his brother Shaggy (https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/44352246-windsor-heights-iowa-cat). Winston is an energetic and curious 4-year-old orange Domestic Shorthair, adopted at 6 months old from Happy Tales Ranch & Rescue. He has spent his life indoors, happily adjusting to both apartment and house environments. Winston is playful and lively, often exploring his surroundings. While he can initially be a bit reserved and independent, Winston reveals his affectionate side once comfortable, becoming loving and cuddly with his trusted humans. He appreciates both companionship and his own space, making him an excellent fit for homes seeking a cat with a balanced personality. He enjoys interactive toys, scratching posts, and occasional snuggle sessions. Winston also tolerates grooming and nail trimming well. Deeply bonded with Shaggy, they regularly play and groom each other, though Winston could adjust to being an independent companion in the right loving home.

Story
Life-long bonded pair with his brother, Winston (https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/44352412-windsor-heights-iowa-cat). Shaggy is a sweet, gentle 4-year-old orange Domestic Mediumhair, adopted alongside his brother Winston at 6 months old from Happy Tales Ranch & Rescue. He's always been an indoor cat, comfortably adapting to both apartment and house living. Shaggy adores relaxing, eating, snuggling with his humans, and playful interactions with Winston. Known for his affectionate and calm nature, he's ideal for families or anyone seeking a loving, cuddly companion. Shaggy enjoys occasional brushing and calmly tolerates nail trimming, often gently reaching out to lovingly touch your face with his paw. Bonded closely with Winston, they groom each other frequently and keep each other company, but Shaggy could thrive independently in a nurturing and affectionate home.
