I posted last spring when my little-old-man kitty unfortunately entered into his final illness and passed on. I still miss him, of course, but who wouldn't? All he ever did was purr. He was a sweetie.
But I reached the point where I Needed Felines in my home again. So I wanted to do the same thing I did 13 years ago, and adopt a bonded pair. Fortunately, I found a pair of littermates on one of the Facebook pages of the local no-kill rescue for which I volunteer. The foster mom was actually trying to hold out for someone to adopt them together, since one in particular is super-attached to his brother.
They're a pair of 3-month-old black kitties, so that's a double win: a bonded pair gets adopted together, AND two black cats get homes (as black cats and dogs are statistically among the last to be adopted).
They're currently exploring the basement. Over the weekend, we'll let them have a supervised introduction to our dog (who misses his kitty brother) and let them explore the rest of the house.
I'm a Catmom again!

Congrats on your new furbabies! I have a black cat myself and he's a crazy, beautiful boy. I don't understand why black cats/dogs are discriminated against, but thank you for giving these 2 a loving home!

People who reject a pet solely on the basis of fur color are fools. Seriously, what are they thinking?
The only pets tho spend more time waiting to be adopted than black cats/dogs are tortoiseshell cats, and that's based on looks, too. I don't think there's such a thing as an unpretty cat, and if someone else disagrees, maybe they need an eye exam.

Thinks!
We introduced the kitties to our 11-year-old dog last night (most likely a Chihuahua/Corgi mix, but as he was brought to the shelter as a stray, we can't know for sure).
My dog is in wuv. All he wants to do is sniff them and greet them with nose sniffs and rump sniffs. He loves cats.
All interactions will be supervised for the foreseeable future, but I'm extremely pleased with how things are going.

Tortoiseshell cats? Seriously :p what country are you living in? In my country they are so special, someone even stole our kitty because she was so beautiful! Maybe you should ship the tortoiseshell cats all to BelgiumLikes2Read wrote:People who reject a pet solely on the basis of fur color are fools. Seriously, what are they thinking?

And I would like to have a black cat, why not? It's as cursed as myself, as I'm born on Friday the 13th. :p A black kitty would only be the perfect fit for me -)
But anyways congrats for adopting new kitties! Bless you for taking them away from a shelter! 1ht
It's nice knowing there are good people out there, who are happy to adopt from the shelter.
proud to be chosen by so many spirits
