Applications are required prior to meeting cats in foster because they are in our private homes.  Forms are found under “adopt”. We may consider a reduced adoption fee for those who can be adopted together.

**Bonded pair, we will not separate them as it would be detrimental to their well being**

**These cats are very, very shy and need to be kept indoors, preferably permanently.  Nervous cats  like these  do not fare well if let outside, as they will get spooked by something and disappear. They will need time and patience to trust a new person.  Having their own space in a home until they are comfortable would be ideal, so they can have that feeling of a safe space.   No small kids, or dogs.  Ideally, a quiet, adult only home would suit them best because they are nervous, and an adopter who understands that they will not show their true personalities during a one time visit.**

These  beautiful kitties were rescued from a property after their owner had died months earlier.  There were many cats on the property with no proper socialization, so once again our amazing fosters are stepping up and working hard to ensure these deserving kitties can be placed in loving homes.  They are gorgeous, and they are shy.  They will need time, patience, and love to come around on their own terms. They probably aren’t suited to really young kids and they have never met any dogs so would likely be afraid and it wouldn’t be worth risking having them scared after all they’ve been through.    Ideally if they can have their own space (like an office or spare bedroom)  while they acclimate to new people and surroundings and can venture out on their time,  we find they do just fine.  They are doing well with their foster parents, and have even started hopping up on their lap in the evening which is a huge accomplishment.  They love to play and chase toys and jump at the wand toys  and then cuddle together in a sunny spot for a snooze.  They do enjoy being pet once they trust you, they come for affection from their foster mom, it just takes some trust building and oodles of patience and understanding what trauma does to cats.  They are worth the effort, and they deserve a forever home.

The girls have all their vaccines, and are spayed/microchipped.
