My story

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

***********************************************************
ERNEST is part of a bonded pair and MUST be adopted with his partner, HEMINGWAY.
***********************************************************

***IN FOSTER***

`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.

Ernest and his brother are currently in a foster home, thriving as indoor cats and receiving plenty of attention and socialization. Ernest is more reserved than Hemingway, preferring to receive affection by hand on his terms or enjoying a good scratch with the back-scratcher. Ernest has made excellent progress by actively seeking affection from his foster mom by rubbing up against her, purring, and even allowing her to rub his tummy. He loves to cuddle with his brother and they take turns grooming each other. Ernest is very playful with his brother, but also enjoys solo play, whether it’s with feather toys, balls, or mice—and sometimes a good sprint down the hallway to burn off some energy! When he craves alone time, he will hang out on top of the cat tree, either having a snooze or gazing out the window, pondering life. He also can’t resist a relaxing brushing session. His foster mom describes him as quirky, curious, and smart—he even knows his name and will respond when called!

Even though Ernest may take his time to trust humans, he already trusts and loves his brother, Hemingway. These boys will need a patient owner to help them write their next chapter. Their 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!
