The boys would do best in a calm, quiet home. They are used to a small, mellow dog. They slept in bed with their foster mom, but are not fans of being picked up or having nail trims.
Something you should know is that both brothers have heart murmurs and were diagnosed with VSD (Ventricular septal defect) as kittens, though you wouldn't know it as they behave just like normal cats. At his recent cardiologist appointment at MSU, his body has adapted very well to his heart defect and all other test results are normal. There is no need for medication or special treatment at this time. VSD is a heart defect that doesn't go away. The boys need a special person who is willing to be thoroughly educated on VSD and be mindful of his diagnoses. They will need to be mindful of changes in his behavior and to provide regular cardiology visits to monitor any progression of his heart problem. At some point, down the road, medication may be needed. **All Shelter to Home animals are fully vetted per their age. We believe in pediatric spay and neuter. All animals will be spayed or neutered, tested for FIV/FeLV or heartworm, given age-appropriate boosters and rabies, dewormed, flea treated, and anything extra that is needed to give this animal a wonderful forever life in a permanent home. Adoption fees are usually $50 for cats and between $150-$250 for dogs, unless the pet is sponsored or we are running a promotion.
