My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

`The way to make people trustworthy is to trust them.` – Ernest Hemingway.

With each passing day, Ernest is learning to trust people who want to help him and his brother, Hemingway. The two cats were originally part of a cat colony, where Ernest earnestly tried to survive through his wits and stunning good looks alone. Luckily, the boys made their way out of the colony and now Ernest understands what human kindness is all about.

ABOUT ERNEST:
- In foster
- Adult, domestic shorthair (orange and white), male
- Ernest and his brother are thriving in their foster home as indoor cats.
- Ernest and Hemingway are receiving plenty of attention and socialization.
- Ernest is more reserved than his brother, Hemingway.
- He enjoys affection on his terms and brushing sessions for relaxation.
- Ernest actively seeks affection by rubbing against his foster mom, purring, and allowing tummy rubs.
- Ernest loves to cuddle and groom Hemingway.
- Ernest is playful, enjoying both interactive play with his brother and solo play with feather toys, balls, and toy mice.
- He occasionally enjoys sprinting down the hallway to burn energy.
- When he wants alone time, he relaxes on the cat tree to nap or gaze out the window.
- His foster mom describes him as quirky, curious, and smart.
- Ernest recognizes and responds to his name when called and can be vocal, especially during mealtimes or when he wants to be petted.
- Ernest is neutered, house-trained, not declawed, microchipped, and has received core vaccinations.

ERNEST’S IDEAL HOME:
- Ernest is part of a bonded pair and MUST be adopted with his partner, Hemingway.
- Ernest and Hemingway’s history with small children and dogs is unknown, but this ginger duo currently shares a foster home with other feline-friendly cats and gets along well with them.

Ernest Hemingway had this to say about cats: “A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.” If you`re trustworthy and looking for two emotionally honest cats to complement your life, please submit an application for Ernest and his brother Hemingway, today!
