Panchito and Luca 's Story

Meet Panchito (2 yrs) and Luca (5 yrs) a pair of cuddly, affectionate adorable boys that came to us in February, 2026 as strays.<br/><br/>“Hi, I’m Panchito, the long-haired gray boy and this is Luca, my orange buddy. I’ll be speaking for both of us because I’m the more out-going one. When you first meet me, I may be just slightly standoffish for about half a minute, but then I’ll play and let you pet me. Luca may hide for awhile but once he knows you, try getting him off your lap! He’s what I call a lap-hog. I love laps too but I’ve never seen anything like his fondness for laps (it’s somewhat embarrassing to me as a cat, as he will even let you hold him like a human baby and this can go on for a long time!)<br/><br/>We love to play, particularly with chaser toys and the laser toy. We’re so fast that we can’t stop on the hardwood floor when our human changes the direction of the toy and we go skidding a foot or two. It makes her laugh but we don’t care, we’re right back at it! We also have a four-way tunnel that I like to hide in and we both run through it. I’m the more active and independent one in that I play more and will lay on the cat tree and look out the window after I leave "mom’s” lap, but Luca will stay on “mom’s” lap, shifting positions if she’s trying to do something, but never getting off her lap on his own—nope, he sticks like glue and gives her plenty of purrs and kitty kisses. I prefer to sit for a while, then get down and play!<br/>We haven’t been around other kitties for awhile but we are quite interested in the kitties on the other side of the door and would like more space to play in. We are very good kitties, slightly on what “mom” calls “the hefty side” as we do like our food!<br/><br/>Oh, and I must say, although Luca always appears to be scowling because of that black mark on his lip, he’s friendly to a fault when he knows you and although I don’t “talk” much, Luca has a raspy meow that our human finds adorable!<br/>If you like to play but also like lots of kisses, cuddles, and lap time, we are the kitties for you!<br/><br/>They are wonderful boys. Panchito and Luca eat a diet high in fiber easily available. We are happy to explain more to anyone interested and also send them with a good supply. These handsome boys are ready to find a forever family and wiggle their way into your lives.<br/><br/><br/>INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?<br/>Please visit pbj.org and click the ADOPT link at the top of the page to complete a no-obligation adoption application and to view our adoption fees.<br/><br/>It's best to apply and be pre-approved to adopt before attending an adoption event.<br/><br/>We are always in need of foster homes ... to learn more, please visit pbj.org and click the FOSTER button at the top of our home page.<br/><br/>The adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccinations, FIV/FeLV combo testing, microchipping, and spay/neuter.
