Meet Domino and Checkers! These inseparable sisters aren’t just family—they’re best friends. Playful, affectionate, and always side by side, their bond is unbreakable. Whether they’re napping, eating, playing, or exploring, they do it all together. When it comes to playtime, these two know how to have fun! They sound like a tiny herd of elephants as they chase each other around, full of energy and excitement. Currently in a foster home with other cats, Domino and Checkers are well-socialized and enjoy the company of their feline friends. Domino is the adventurous, social butterfly of the pair. She loves being in the middle of everything and won’t miss a chance to be part of the action. With her soft purrs and love for cuddles, she’ll quickly steal your heart—especially when she’s curled up on your lap, soaking in all the affection. Checkers is a little more laid-back but just as loving. Once she warms up, she’ll be right by your side, snuggling up while you sleep and seeking out pets and treats. She’s also a fearless climber—cat trees and tall towers are her absolute favorite! The higher, the better! If you’re looking for a pair of sweet, playful, and affectionate companions, Domino and Checkers are ready to bring double the love into your home! Domino & Checkers are spayed, up to date with their vaccinations for their age range, FELV/FIV negative, and litter-box trained.
