They were living in a small pet carrier for over a year when we rescued them from a hoarding situation. They have been decompressing for a couple of months with us in one of our amazing foster homes and it has been a labor of love but now it is time for them to find their forever humans. They are approximately 2 years old and we have promised them that the rest of their lives they will be surrounded by love and affection. Mutt is the cream and white boy and he is still quite shy, but every day we see him healing more and more. He had a very broken spirit when he first came to us but now his foster mom can hold him in her lap and he is thoroughly enjoying all the love he is receiving. When he is not in her lap he is usually sleeping in his plush bed or in a cubbie in the cat tree. Jeff has a solid cream coat and has become very social and has a huge purr. He loves to play and enjoys pets and kisses from his foster mom. He definitely is the more outgoing of the two and will be the first one to seek out attention. We want to place them together because they are very bonded, especially because of the ordeal they survived. We are hoping that someone will see their story and want to give these two wonderful boys a chance at the life they deserve! They have been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Their adoption fee together is $250.

She would love to find a home to fill with all the love you can handle. If you are looking for a kitty that is not needy but loves her humans, look no further.
