Story
We have a bonded pair of cats, we rescued them from the shelter back in 2018, at the time of their adoption we were told that they were around 3-4. So we have rounded up and believe them to be about 9-10 now. As I’ve stated the were adopted as a bonded pair and we would love them to be rehomed as a bonded pair also. They are a make and female, one male long hair Maine Coone and one female short hair, named Minnie and Mickey. We have one hypoallergenic standard poodle, and two children with adhd and autism so they are use to one calm dog and two rambunctious children and they are very much lap cats. They wait to hear the sound of the recliners open and come running for lap naps and cuddles. They are the epitome of fat house cats. They are spayed and neutered. We do not make the decision to rehome our cats as an easy way out, it’s actually quite the opposite. Our youngest daughter has developed severe allergies to them. She sees an allergist on a regular basis, we have her on daily doses of 2 different allergy medications as well as two inhalers, but her allergies to the cats are progressively getting worse and worse, we have even tried the cat food that is supposed to reduce the allergens that humans can be affected by. We even moved jobs and homes from Washington to Oregon in an effort to reduce our daughters seasonal allergens, hoping it would give her an immunity boost to fight the allergies to the cats, however it has not helped. We have truly exhausted all efforts but have no options left. We have a local shelter called Safe Haven, we were waitlisted by them twice, and cancelled the morning of our surrender appointments because we physically and emotionally just couldn’t bring ourselves to take them to a shelter, even one with staff as awesome as they are! We just didn’t have the heart to do it. Minnie is our short hair. She is very much the queen of the house and knows it! She is not afraid to remind the dog that she is in charge around here. She can be timid around strangers at first but warms up quickly and is eager to explore, but she is always the first to jump on a lap, and demand pets as she falls asleep. Mickey is our long hair, he can be quite timid also especially around quick moving dogs and children but once he warms up, he is not shy to come and ask for pets, while he won’t climb onto a lap, he will definitely climb all over you while you’re sleeping and purr the night away. He just loves attention and pets! He is quick to find the warm nook of a bent knee in the middle of the night and make that his spot, and he is not shy to cuddle up to the dog either! No matter how deep their sleep, they both come running at the sound of a shaking treat container!. Rehoming fee is $150. Indoor only! This cat is offered for adoption due to the owner's personal circumstances.
