Story
Hi, my name is Romeo and my name suits me. I love to cuddle and sit on laps. My foster mom put me on a diet but I still need to lose a few pounds. I am 11 years old and may need some additional vetting. I may be older but I am still full of life and like to play and chase my brother. The zoomies up and down the stairs are fun. I am an inside-only kitty but enjoy my foster mom's catio to get a little fresh air and sunshine. I need to be adopted with my brother, Rascal, or I will cry loudly for him when I can't find him. My foster mom thinks I will be good with children since my former home had children but they couldn't keep me anymore since my mom got sick. I would love to come live with you with my brother.

Story
Hi, my name is Rascal and my name suits me. I am an indoor-only kitty but I will try to get out if I can and I am curious about new things. I am 11 years old but still like to play and chase my brother around the house and do zoomies up and down the stairs. I like to be near my humans almost all the time, and want to lay next to or on them if they are sitting. My foster mom thinks I will be good with children since my former home had children but we couldn't stay there after my mom got sick. I need to be adopted with my brother, Romeo, as we are bonded and we always find each other to cuddle and sleep together.

Story
We rescued Fergus from a kill shelter 3 years back during Covid. He did not get along with our dog Rosie, but we felt too guilty about giving him back knowing what they would do to him. He was recently diagnosed with diabetes and is good with the insulin shots. It has just become too much. Looking for someone to love him as much as we have.
