My story

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

Double the Love, Double the Fun!

The Gentle Soul (Tom)
Meet Tom, the dashing gentleman in the tuxedo! This sweet boy has a heart of gold and the elegant markings to match. A natural-born cuddler, Tom adores being brushed and will reward you with gentle purrs and loving companionship. His uniquely crooked tail tells the story of a resilient spirit, and he uses it expressively to show his happiness and curiosity. Despite his generally calm demeanor, he can't resist joining in when the laser pointer comes out.

The Playful Spirit (Jerry)
Jerry is our playful tabby with mesmerizing green eyes and endless charm. This energetic fellow loves showing off his acrobatic skills - watch him leap and twist through the air chasing toys and laser dots. You'll often find him rolling around on the floor, trying to convince his more laid-back brother to join in the fun. Fair warning: he likes to show affection with enthusiastic nose-to-nose greetings.

Better Together
Tom and Jerry are a delightful duo who bring out the best in each other. While Jerry provides the entertainment with his playful antics, Tom offers the sweet cuddles and calm. These adaptable brothers know how to entertain themselves during busy times and are always ready for attention during quiet moments. Independent yet affectionate, they're ready to bring double the love and joy to their new home!

If you are interested in adopting Tom, please send an email to cassietrangsrud@gmail.com to arrange a virtual meet and greet with the pet's foster parent. You should receive a reply within 24-48 hours.
