Story
Double the cats, double the fun! Meet Cosi and Sprite, a bonded pair of best friends who are ready to bring twice the love to their future home. These two have been together their entire lives and made the journey all the way from Florida together, proving that no matter where life takes them, they’re happiest side by side. Sprite is a handsome blue-gray gentleman with a Russian Blue look, while Cosi is a fluffy orange-and-white charmer with a heart as warm as his coloring. Both cats are incredibly sweet, social, and outgoing. They love meeting new people and would likely fit well into a variety of home environments. Whether you're looking for cuddle buddies, welcoming greeters, or loyal companions, Cosi and Sprite check all the boxes. Cosi and Sprite are currently doing well on a urinary prescription diet and should remain on this food under the guidance of a veterinarian to help keep them feeling their best.
