Story
Liam is an equally energetic and lazy cat who likes to be near you on his own terms. He would do best in a house with no young children or with a family that is observant and respectful of his queues for wanting to be left alone. He also would do best being adopted with his sister Lacie or as an only cat. He doesn’t mind dogs as long as he has a place he can call his own. Liam loves to play - with cat dancers and tunnels and hide and seek. He dobest with at least 20-30min a day of play time with his human. This can include supervised walks on or off a leash, chasing a laser or string. He loves to sit in windows and watch birds and take naps in the sun. Liam does have some seasonal allergies that are managed with the occasional allergy pill. He also must be on urinary support food as he has a history of a blocked urethra without issue since 2015. I’m traveling often for long periods of time and Liam deserves someone who can give him The love and attention as his human

Story
Lacie is a quintessential lap cat. She’s docile, talkative, affectionate, and bossy. She’s also an excellent alarm clock and “mother cat” as she takes care of her humans and her adoptive brother cat Liam (orange cat in pics also up for adoption). She would be best adopted with Liam or if not possible than with someone who can spend time snuggling and giving her loads of attention. I’m traveling more and more for long periods of time and after a decade together feel that this schedule is no longer fair to Liam and Lacie and they deserve to spend time with their human(s) being present. Lacie is great with kids of all ages though enjoys a quiet environment where she can rule as the queen bee. Her default is “freeze and flop” if met with conflict or is scared. She (and Liam) have their own passports and do well in the car and plane as long as you are there for her to talk to. She loves to play - and watch Liam play- and doesn’t like to feel left out so will follow you around.
