My story

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

Best Match:

  • Seeking an adopter with some experience
  • Could join a calm/quiet home with older kids/teens
  • Bonded pair
  • May be okay with other cats
  • Recommend indoor only


John and Ted are brothers who make the perfect pair. They sport matching black and white coats, and share an incredibly sweet, strong bond. They eat from the same bowl, explore together, groom each other, and sleep in an adorable heap of black and white fur that makes it hard to tell how many cats you’re looking at.

Ted is playful, curious, but may still be a bit shy around people. He loves to play solo with his favorite plastic spring, carrying it in his mouth and swatting it around the floor. He’s eager to explore and leads the way when the brothers go check out a new room or sniff the new package that has arrived. Even when Ted gets spooked and retreats to a favorite hiding place, he’ll be back in a few minutes. He also loves finding unexpected new places to hang out. You never know when you’ll spy him peering at you from inside a bag or over the rim of the bathtub.

John is more outgoing and cuddly, and enjoys chasing and wrestling with his brother — but he’ll choose pets over play almost every time. This gentle boy  is helping his brother learn to be braver around people. While Ted will sometimes shy away from pets, when he sees his brother getting affection or curled up on someone’s lap, he feels more comfortable and wants to get in on the action. As their foster said, Ted is “a shy sweetie who loves affection, but needs a little help from his brother to be brave enough to get it.”

John and Ted are vaccinated, microchipped, and tested for FeLV and FIV. If you are interested in setting up a meeting or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form: form.jotform.com/cattownoak/adoption-inquiries
