Here's what the humans have to say about me:
[gallery_adoption]
Are you ready to make a huge difference in the lives of some special little cats? If you've ever had that joyful experience of finally getting a shy cat to lean into petting with love, Sansa and Bonnie are looking for a Superhero just like you!
Bonnie and Sansa are a fun tabby and calico duo who became friends at Happy Cats Haven after being rescued trying to survive outside in different situations. Bonnie is the silver tabby with neat white patches and Sansa is the calico lady with inquisitive yellow eyes. Because of their early experiences in life, they will need a family with extra patience, willing to let them blossom at their own pace.
They are playful, affectionate and ready to start their happily-ever-after with a new home and family to love! They were a little slow to trust at first because of their dangerous early lives outside (which you can see from Sansa's tipped-ear badge of courage), but now they are very happy to see their friends!
They love soft, gentle pets and calm, soothing voices. Because of their early rough handling they are both Say Please kitties, which means they really need to let you know what they're thinking with their body language. This includes when and where they want to be petted. If you take it slowly and allow them to ask you for pets first, they will relax and trust you more quickly.
Once they know you're kind and gentle, Sansa is an affectionate little girl who loves face rubs! When you're petting her, she may even roll over on her side and make some biscuits!
Sansa will definitely be your confident Kitty Admin once she gets settled in. She likes to be where her favorite people are, following you around to make sure your life is running smoothly. She also has a very sweet, soft purr to reward her humans with as she gives you gentle headbonks.
Bonnie is a little more shy and likes to observe first before she gives her heart away. Once she's assured she's safe, she'll be right behind Sansa, as you can see.
Once they get to know you, they won’t be able to resist when you sit with a blanket in your lap to offer a brush, toy, snacks or just closeness. They will both be Sidecar Cats, the ones who love to give--and get--attention while snuggled up next to you.
They survived outside by being cautious, so new things may send them into hiding. But if they are introduced gradually, they will adapt and do well.
They really do love to be brushed and will come with their favorite brushes. It's a wonderful way to bond and of course helps prevent hairballs. Bonnie loves her cubby and tented beds so she can feel safe and will come with her favorite one..
Play is their love language! Playing daily with da Bee, Cat Dancers, feather toys, fleece or leather snakes and other small, quiet wand toys is big fun and will increase their confidence. They forget to be afraid when they're playing, so play is an important, effective and fun tool for helping them settle into their new life.
They are amiable companions who enjoy being around each other without being overly snuggly. They give each other confidence and will be great support as they settle into their new lives.
They have lived at Happy Cats for many months and will need at least 1 month in their Safe Room, a quiet space to learn to trust and love their new family. They grew up with other cats so may do well with another cat or two who is known to like other cats, with a gentle and slow introduction. They will blossom in a calm and quiet, stable environment with just adults to care for them and no dogs please.
As TLC cats, they come with a kit to help you support them while they become the lovable companions we know they can be. This includes a home installation with suggestions for low stress handling and confidence building, a top/side loading carrier per kitty, their favorite toys & bedding, their usual food & litter starter kit and professional behavioral counseling if needed. They will do best with minimum travel to their new home.
Because of all they've been through, they are bonded and need to stay together. They can be adopted together for $120 which includes their spays, vaccinations, microchips, food and litter starter kits, and a free well-kitty checkup each to help you get started. We recommend you wait at least a month until they are coming out and interacting in their home until you take them to the veterinarian.
