Meet Chester and Rusty, born Summer 2018

These boys were part of a colony we took in June 2019.

They were born in the late Summer of 2018.

They are brothers.

They are fostered together and used to a Saint Bernard, other cats, and a respectful child.

They are very shy and take time to warm up but are no less deserving of a home.

Foster updated us January 17/2021 -
They have come a long way since intake. Both are shy but Rusty is the more outgoing one.
Rusty loves to play but will play rough and scratch/bite.
He loves being petted but hates to be picked up.

He is positive for feline herpes so his eyes do run a bit from time to time. He rarely ever has flare ups with the condition. 

Chester is very timid and will take things slow until comfortable.
He loves food and is very food motivated. He is just starting to learn how to play...so far he enjoys catnip toys.
He loves being petted but is not overly a fan of being picked up.

Neither one are cuddlers.

Rusty will lay with you in bed or join you on the couch but Chester won't.

Both prefer a quiet/relaxed environment and love bird watching from the window sills.

They are both on grain-free food due to sensitive stomachs.
I feed them wet food at breakfast and again at supper.
I leave their dry food out so they can come and eat as they please.


Foster reported April 5/2020-

Rusty is amazing - he's still leery of Jade (her daughter) but will let her pet him if I'm with him. He loves Moose (the St. Bernard). I've caught them sleeping together before.

Chester - is very independent and keeps to himself. He's not a fan of Jade (her daughter) and tolerates Moose (her St. Bernard). They can be in the same room but Chester really has nothing to do with Moose.

We had them vaccinated, dewormed, fecal tested, fel leuk/fiv tested, and neutered.
