Story
Tipper is an 11-year-old sweetheart who somehow manages to be both spirited and soft. He still has a playful streak — he loves chasing lasers, exploring new spots, and getting in on whatever fun his sister, Delaney, is having. But when the energy settles, he turns into a total snuggler. He loves curling up next to you, settling into a warm lap, or lounging nearby just to be part of the moment. Tipper is also deeply bonded with his sister, Delaney. They’ve been together since day one and genuinely depend on each other for comfort and confidence. They nap side by side, “talk” to each other, and look for one another around the house. Keeping them together isn’t just ideal — it’s what keeps them both happy and secure. Tipper would do wonderfully in a loving, steady home that appreciates a cat with both a playful spirit and a cuddly heart. If you’re looking for a bonded pair who bring joy, affection, and companionship in the sweetest way, Tipper and Delaney are truly something special.

Story
Delaney is an 11-year-old sweetheart with a shy, cautious nature and a soft, gentle soul. She warms up slowly, but once she feels safe, her little spark of spunk starts to shine. She enjoys peaceful spaces, soft voices, and patient people who let her come forward at her own pace. Delaney isn’t the bold, center-of-attention type — she’s the quiet observer, the careful thinker, and the cat who appreciates calm, consistency, and a gentle touch. When she trusts you, she becomes affectionate, curious, and surprisingly playful in her own subtle way. Delaney is deeply bonded with her brother, Tipper. They have been together their entire lives and rely on each other for comfort and security. Delaney looks to him for confidence, and having him nearby helps her feel safe and relaxed. Because of this, keeping them together would be best for their well-being and happiness. If you’re looking for a pair with a sweet balance — one gentle and cautious, Delaney will quietly steal your heart.

Story
We got Lucy Bell as a kitten from Petco. She is 7 (May birthday). All black just a touch of white under her chin, and so soft! She’s very quiet, so light on her feet and can jump! She has always been a cat personality- loves you on her terms. Can be quite snuggly with her person! Purrs on your chest if your sitting or laying (and if she wants to!) The issue we have is she’s been peeing on anything soft, we think this is stress due to our other cat and dog as she hasn’t always done it. She would do best being the only pet in a house with no kids, she prefers to get all the attention! She’s been around kids and is fine but doesn’t have much patience for their curiosity :) She’s always been great at using scratching pads, not furniture. Loves to sleep on a blanket or in a little hammock.
