Story
Meet Thumbalina! She’s equal parts sweet and spicy Most of the time she’s all love—purring, headbutts, little kisses , and the occasional gentle love bite. She can get a bit overstimulated now and then, but once you learn her signals and respect her boundaries, it’s smooth sailing.Thumbalina isn’t a big fan of other cats, though she does get along pretty well with her sister, Squeaker. While they don’t look identical, they do have very similar personalities—like two peas in a pod The one thing that sets Thumbalina apart? She has extra thumbs They aren’t bonded, but they would still love to go home together if possible April 30, 2026, 6:24 am

Story
Meet Squeaker! She’s a loving little lady with just the right touch of sass She adores attention and will happily shower you with purrs, head nudges, and sweet kisses Don’t be surprised if she sneaks in a playful love nibble now and then. She can get a bit overstimulated if things get too exciting, but she communicates clearly—once you pick up on her cues, you’ll get along great.Squeaker also has a fun, playful side—she loves spring toys and will even play fetch with them She isn’t too fond of other cats, but she does just fine with her sister, Thumbalina. They share very similar personalities and energy, even if they don’t look alike They aren’t bonded, but they’d be happy to head home together if the opportunity comes along  April 30, 2026, 6:24 am

We are Ying and Yang and we are ready and able to be the balancing forces in your life if you'll give us a chance. We can be adopted separately, but as you can see - we'd also be happy to live together ever after. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to reserve me for an appointment. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come. All of our pets are neutered or spayed, have vaccinations appropriate for their age, are treated with flea/tick/heartworm prevention and dewormed #adoptdontshop ##2722526##
