Did you know the likelihood of an orange kitten being born female is one in five? Bonded sisters-from-another-mister Cleopatra and Cornelia are a true rare pair of ginger kittens, ready to pounce into their new digs, warming your lap and heart. These two feline friends had a rough start to life with Cleopatra losing four of her six siblings; Cornelia was an orphaned bottle baby graciously taken in by Cleo’s mother. They have been together since they were two weeks old. Both girls are currently hitting their kitten stride, always ready to play with wand toys, laser pointer and pom balls; they have excellent litter box skills and prefer poultry-flavored wet cat food. A window to watch the world go by, and vertical adventure space are a must. Equal parts sassy and sweet, Cleopatra and Cornelia are a complementary pair of spunky felines who will add abundant personality, and endless shenanigans to their forever home!
Requires another cat: Just eachother!
Good with other cats: Given Cornelia’s FIV positive status, We would suggest not having other cats in the home unless they are also FIV postitive. (note: we are resting since kittens do sometimes have false positives)
Good with dogs: Possibly with slow introduction.
Would be fine with young kids (under 10): Possibly with slow introduction.
Home activity level: Bring on the ruckus!
Health concerns or special needs: Cleopatra has some slight limitations with hear hearing and vision that do not affect her significantly; she only requires being approached in a calm and obvious manner. Cornelia has tested positive for FIV – she will be re-tested at four months of age to confirm status; cats with FIV will live normal lives if they are kept indoors and up to date on routine veterinary care.
Cornelia has FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). Since FIV affects a cat’s immune system, symptoms will only appear once the cat has contracted a secondary infection. Indoor cats with FIV can go on to live normal, long, healthy lives. The risk of transmission between friendly household cats that stay indoors is low (the most common way that FIV spreads among cats is through biting). FIV is not a huge deal and it certainly shouldn't be a death sentence. Cornelia would be happy to join any family!
