Rusty and Chester, born Summer 2018's Story

These boys were part of a colony we took in June 2019.<br/><br/>They were born in the late Summer of 2018.<br/><br/>They are brothers.<br/><br/>They are fostered together and used to a Saint Bernard, other cats, and a respectful child.<br/><br/>They are very shy and take time to warm up but are no less deserving of a home.<br/><br/>Foster updated us January 17/2021 -<br/>They have come a long way since intake. Both are shy but Rusty is the more outgoing one. <br/>Rusty loves to play but will play rough and scratch/bite. <br/>He loves being petted but hates to be picked up. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>Chester is very timid and will take things slow until comfortable. <br/>He loves food and is very food motivated. He is just starting to learn how to play...so far he enjoys catnip toys. <br/>He loves being petted but is not overly a fan of being picked up.<br/><br/>Neither one are cuddlers. <br/><br/>Rusty will lay with you in bed or join you on the couch but Chester won't. <br/><br/>Both prefer a quiet/relaxed environment and love bird watching from the window sills.<br/><br/>They are both on grain-free food due to sensitive stomachs. <br/>I feed them wet food at breakfast and again at supper. <br/>I leave their dry food out so they can come and eat as they please.<br/><br/><br/>Foster reported April 5/2020- <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>We had them vaccinated, dewormed, fecal tested, fel leuk/fiv tested, and neutered.<br/><br/>An adoption application must be completed online at www.adoptapet.lucknow.on.ca if you wish to meet these cats.<br/><br/>They are fostered in the Auburn area.<br/><br/>Adoption fee is $175 per cat.<br/>Indoor cat only <br/><br/>The adoption process and requirements for this pet are below, we welcome your application if you meet the requirements to allow this Pet to thrive.<br/><br/>PLEASE KEEP IN MIND:<br/><br/>* We only adopt within Ontario<br/>* We do not do same day adoptions for kittens or cats unless the home check has been done<br/>* No viewings are done without an approved application<br/>* We do not deliver pets.<br/>* Inquiries will not be replied to when all info and link to application is provided below<br/><br/>Adoption process :<br/>1- receipt of application for review .

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.
