My story

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

Although they look like brothers, these two young fellows came to us from completely different circumstances and are not related at all. They were both born about 12-18 months ago, and we put them in the same foster home, hoping they would hit it off. That’s exactly what happened, so we’re looking for a permanent home where Biscuits and Grady can always be together.


Upon meeting new people, Grady is the first to introduce himself, and once he starts talking he may go on at some length. He’ll immediately investigate any new toy, box, or bag, climb every mountain and ford every stream. Well, not really, but he does like to run up and down the cat trees and fly through the air in pursuit of any interesting little thing, real or imagined. He’s very acrobatic and capable of some truly impressive airborne maneuvers. Grady enjoys showing off to wow the spectators.


Meanwhile, Biscuits will sneak up alongside you, give a nudge with his head, turn on his big motor and demonstrate how he got his name: this boy knows how to knead his dough! First he wants lots of petting, and then he’ll turn and park himself with his head facing away, which is the cue to get out the comb and get busy doing his hair. He’ll put up with that for an hour or two. Then maybe he’ll go grab a little snack and THEN he’s ready for play time. Grady will pounce on him and they’ll have a chase and rasslin’ match, and after that they’ll both be ready for some cuddle time.


Both Biscuits and Grady have the typical sweet nature of a tabby, and their colors and markings are similar. But look closely and you can see that Grady has stunning white eyeliner, while Biscuits has perfect bull's eye markings on either side. Their personalities are different but complementary, and they make a very agreeable and easy-going pair.


These boys are technically full grown, but they can get pretty rowdy when they play, so a house full of delicate and irreplaceable objects wouldn’t be a good one for them. They like cardboard scratchers, feather toys to chase through the air, and jingle balls or furry mice to bat around the floor. Their litter box habits are excellent, they have no food issues and both of them truly enjoy being combed several times a day.


Biscuits and Grady, like all ARCF cats for adoption, have been neutered, microchipped, are up to date on vaccines, and have tested negative for FeLV and FIV.


If you are interested in meeting Biscuits and Grady, please fill out the "I'm interested" form at our website, and our adoption coordinator will respond promptly. Please note that we place cats in the following counties only: Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas and Clark.
