Tootsie & Snickers Domestic Short Hair Warwick, RI

Hello, my furiends! The Scruffy Paws family has a bonded sister-brother duo ready to meet and greet you! Please welcome 9-month-old grey and white cuddle kitties - Tootsie and Snickers!

Tootsie (female) and Snickers (male - all pink nose!) love attention and cuddling with their person. They are super playful with toys and each other and are big foodies, especially Tootsie with her wet food and treats!
Smart little kitties - they know their names! Tootsie mainly responds to Toot (she does have some stinky farts) and Snickers to Snickerdoodle as that is their nickname foster mom gave them. Snickers loves to be up in cat trees, and Tootsie likes to sleep in things like mop buckets, the sink, or couch center consoles. A curious duo, they like to follow each other around, get into things, and see who can hide the most toys. If you are looking for your spoon or fork - ask Tootsie; one of her hobbies is stealing utensils.

Tootsie is an FIP survivor and will still need her Rabies vaccination, which needs to be done 1yr post-treatment. She may also need dental cleanings in the future. Tootsie and Snickers were originally part of a litter of 4 and came in with their semi-feral momma. Unfortunately, 2 passed, presumably by FIP, before we figured out what illness we were dealing with. Luckily, Snickers did not get FIP, but that does not mean he isn't a carrier of the Coronavirus, which could mutate into FIP.

They do great with other friendly cats and calm, respectful dogs. They can initially be a bit nervous about new people, but as long as you show them love, they quickly come around. They can also be skittish with loud noises and quick movements (loud, energetic dogs freak them out), so a quieter house with adults and older, respectful kids would be best. They will bring lots of love and laughter into a home!
