Story
Playful. He’s good with children. Loves being caressed on the head. A house cat but likes little backyard time. He’s communicates very well on when he wants to eat and drink. Likes being under the covers when it’s time for him to sleep. He doesn’t like loud noises. He likes laying on paper and bags.

Story
Neo was adopted with Mya at about 2yo (both) from a feline rescue in Colonial Beach July 2022. They had bonded so we adopted both. He is approximately 6 1/2 yo now. Neo just had is annual vet checkup and has no health issues and his rabies is current. I lost my wife to cancer and cannot stay in my house and cant take him with me. Neo is an extremely loving cat. He loves a lap anytime. When he was rescued, he was only a couple of weeks old so he didn't have the benefit of his mother so he is a kneader, but not to any extreme. He is extremely easy with nail trims as he has been getting them since he was tiny and has no issues with his paws being handled. As a matter of fact he likes his toes massaged. He loves to sunbathe at an open door or on a screened in porch if you have one. If not, a sunny window or door will work. He has not been around dogs or kids, but I think he would adapt just fine. He will curl up for a nap under a warm blanket.

Story
Mya was adopted with Neo at about 2yo (both) from a feline rescue in Colonial Beach July 2022. They had bonded so we adopted both. She is approximately 6 1/2 yo now. I lost my wife to cancer and cannot stay in my house and can't take her with me. Mya is shy and it will take time for her to come around, but once she does, she will seek out attention, but is not really a lap cat. Bed time is usually her personal time where she gets brushed and she tells me how her day was. Mya has gotten more talkative over time. Initially, I didn't think she could 'speak', but she does in fact have a voice. It is quite funny, she actually has a chirp and a little bark when she wants to be fed. She loves to sunbathe at an open door or on a screened in porch if you have one and loves to watch the wildlife outside. If not, a sunny window or door will work. She has not been around dogs or kids, but I think she would adapt just fine. She likes to nap under a warm blanket too.
