My story

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

River (male) and Moon (female), very bonded siblings, came to us on December 14, 2024. We named one River for the road the house was on, and Moon because the moon was full and gorgeous the night we caught them.

The kittens ran into a garage in our community, and the nice people, rather than chasing them out, closed the garage door and called our rescue. That was the evening of December 13.

We went over the next evening with a trap. The homeowners had put out food (eaten) and a litterbox (not used). When we got there, the kittens were under a tool cabinet. We set the trap and told the homeowner, “They obviously like food, so we’ll be back in an hour.” Sure enough, one hour later - Kitten #1 (River) was in the trap. Kitten #2 (Moon) was frantically trying to get to River, but scurried back under the cabinet as we approached.

We transferred River to a carry crate and said to the homeowner, “See you in an hour for Kitten #2.” It took only 45 minutes. The initial “spicy” behavior of both kittens indicated they are feral and very scared, but we were able to gently pet them within 24 hours. They both like food, and as they continue to build trust, they are learning to accept and enjoy human contact. Next comes play and toys.

The vet says they are seven weeks old, so we are calling their birthday October 27, 2024. Both are FIV/FeLV negative, dewormed, and vaccinated. They were also treated for fleas and ear mites. The nominal adoption fee covers their thorough medical exam, deworming, vaccines, blood tests, and spay/neuter.

Since these two are bonded siblings and found a way to survive together, we will only consider adopting them as a pair.

To set up a visit with River and Moon, drop me a note at cherylsferalsandfosters@gmail.com or PM me. If you are considering adopting them, please fill out and submit the adoption contract found in The Adoption Process link on my website (cherylsferalsandfosters.com). In the meantime, you can follow their journey on Facebook: Cheryl’s Ferals and Fosters Chat Group. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3).
