Tom & Jerry Domestic Short Hair Fairborn, OH

Help us find a match! Tom (white and grey) and Jerry (solid grey tabby) are a couple of sweet, lovable boys with a tricky story.

Their original owner lived in a motel. He loved them, cared for them... but then sadly passed away, leaving them without a home. A kind woman accepted the brothers into her home, and they have been with her for the last year.

Their caretaker says Tom is very smart and outgoing, but he doesn't understand that he shouldn't use his claws on furniture and woodwork in her home, and can unfortunately be very destructive. She says she has tried clipping his nails (which he is great with, and allows her to do), has put covers over his nails that worked a little while, and has even tried to eliminate the 'issue areas' in her home, for example putting covers or two-sided tape on the door he continued to scratch, but unfortunately nothing has solved the issue. Despite being an otherwise wonderful kitty, Tom's clawing habit is too big of a problem for her.

Jerry is a different kitty than his brother! The caretaker says he is shy, but so so sweet. He's not dominant at all, but instead will wait patiently for his turn at the food dish or the head scratches from their caretaker. He doesn't feel the same desire to scratch things up (though for health and to assist with their natural instincts, EVERY kitty should be given a scratcher toy or two in their home!)

The caretaker says these 2-year old boys are both VERY sweet, completely lovable, playful, and love to soak up petting from their people. With as dominant as Tom is around his brother she believes separating them might actually be beneficial so Jerry can be "first" in someone's world, though they've lived together their whole lives, so placement together in a forever home is definitely an option!

So here we are now, looking for a perfect home (or 2!) for these boys. Tom will need somewhere that claws aren't a big deal, where patience and understanding will allow them to be the cats they were born to be (claws and all) for their forever. If you have that space in your home, please let us know by filling out an application!! If you know someone who might have that space, please share this information with them! Please help us find the 'right fit' for these handsome boys!
