Story

Hunny and Bunny recently found themselves at CACC after being surrendered due to housing issues, and now they’re searching for their forever home together. These two are as bonded as bonded comes—they truly thrive with each other by their side. ✨ About Hunny: The social butterfly of the pair, Hunny loves to give kisses, sit in laps, and seek out attention from her humans. She even cuddles her sister and sometimes likes to perch right on top of her, just to be close. Hunny’s affectionate, silly personality helps her sister feel safe. ✨ About Bunny: Bunny is the quieter, more reserved sister. She needs time to decompress and can be shy at first, but with Hunny by her side, she blossoms. She’s already learning that humans aren’t so scary, and her gentle spirit is beginning to shine through. These girls are a perfect match for a patient family willing to welcome them both. Hunny and Bunny will reward that love with endless snuggles, sisterly antics, and the heartwarming bond only a true pair can bring. If you’ve got room for two, Hunny and Bunny are ready to fill your home with double the love. 💕
