My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Rupert was named after Rupert Grint who played Harry Potter's sidekick Ron Weasley. Ron Weasley is known for being intensely loyal to Harry Potter and it's a fitting name because Rupert the cat comes bonded with Ember. Rupert and Ember aren't quite lap cats, but Ember especially strongly bonds with her humans. She likes to lounge around outside the bathroom waiting for me to finish my shower or she likes to sleep in her hammock/sling on the cat tree while I'm working from home. She loves any sort of wand toy and will bring you the toy when she wants to play. Rupert is a sweet soul and loves to head butt you when he knows it's close to dinner time or when he's ready for snacks. They both love to be brushed gently. After a polite greeting, Ember loves to come in for full body pets whereas Rupert closes his eyes in bliss when his ears are rubbed. It's usually Rupert who charges forth and then you see Ember following suit! Rupert warms up more slowly than Ember, but once he gets comfortable in his space, he's very vocal and loving. Both do not really care to be carried or held closely, but if given lots of time and patience, I can see them wanting to stay close to you on the sofa as you watch TV or doze with you at the foot of your bed.

If you want the companionship of cats, but want cats who are independent, Rupert and Ember would be the perfect fit! They're the right balance of cats who want to play and bond with their human, but also are very independent. They're well suited to someone who wants their home graced with the cozy presence of an animal sleeping soundly curled up the sofa, but who doesn't want a clingy or needy cat. Ember will definitely approach you for play but will also scamper off to play with her brother if you're otherwise occupied. Please read Ember's bio which tells you why these cats were rescued by us. Do you have room in your heart and home for this bonded pair?
