Joshua's Story

Joshua and his brother, Tally, came to us from a rural animal control facility. Poor things were just babies when picked up and were terrified of being there, so it took them quite a while to relax and learn to trust humans. They are currently in a foster home that specializes in shy and under-socialized kitties, and the boys have really blossomed there. They have become quite the lap cats and cuddlers with their foster mom and absolutely adore her. However, they will need time and patience when moving to a new home as change is scary for any kitty, but especially ones that are timid like the boys. As such, they require a quiet and calm home without kids and with cat savvy parents who understand kitty behavior and will give them plenty of time to acclimate on their own. They aren't aggressive and don't have a mean bone in their bodies; they just tend to hiss and hide when they are frightened until they know to trust you.<br/><br/>They are devoted and loyal kitties and love to be petted and play with toys. Canned food is a big hit and that, combined with playtime, is the way to their hearts. They must be adopted together as they are bonded and have been with one another since the beginning. They like other cats and would probably thrive with having a confident and friendly feline companion to teach them the ropes.<br/><br/>Joshua is neutered, chipped, current on vaccinations and negative for FeLV/FIV - tag # 14036JY (DOB 7/7/2023).
