Hello! We’re Winsta (5-year-old girl) and Opal (1.5-year-old boy). We’re believed to be a mother-son pair and were rescued by a kind Samaritan after our family left us behind when they moved. We love making biscuits, cozying-up on your lap, “sharing” your bed, and watching the resident pigeons from the windowsill (though we really wish our foster parents could have one of those cool window bird feeders). While technically out of reach, we haven’t shown a strong interest in inspecting any of the houseplants (or high areas in general, for that matter). We’re well-fed and at an optimal weight, but that doesn’t stop us from trying to guilt our foster parents into thinking we’re starving. It’s worked twice so far, but they seem to have caught on.
Winsta: Despite my small stature, I inhale and put away my Fancy Feast at a rate that would perplex a physicist. This made my foster mom nervous (something about carpeting?), but I’ve shown her I can keep it down (I was also VERY vocally opposed to her attempts to pace me with smaller portions). I love pretending the floor is lava as I make my way across the apartment, leaping from furniture to furniture. My favorite place to be is the papasan chair, which I sometimes share with Opal, but other times I let out a long groan when I want me-time.
Opal: Privacy? Not part of my vocabulary. Personal space? Never heard of her. I feel and make myself at home the minute I step foot inside. My favorite things are drawstrings, lasers, and your attention. If you stop petting me, I’ll forcefully throw my body at you or headbutt your hand like a goat until you relent. I love doing whatever you’re doing and walking wherever you’re (about to be) walking, so if I had a favorite song, it’d probably be something like “Every Breath You Take” by The Police or “We Go Together” from Grease.
From Our Foster Parents: Despite all of the recent stress and changes in their lives, these two are so trusting, gentle, and eager for your companionship and their forever home! Winsta is more timid than Opal, but with the right introductions, we think they’d both adapt well to kids, other cats, and respectful dogs.
New stuff!
Since our last update, our foster parents have learned how great we are with young kids after their 4 and 6-year-old nephews came to visit! We had SO much fun chasing strings, especially ones with feather toys on the end.
They also thought that I, Winsta, wasn’t as into playtime as Opal but (surprise!) after 5-6 days, my personality and playfulness really started to come out! They also learned I love trying to try and burrow my head under you when we’re lounging on the couch and sleeping under puffy comforters when you’re in bed.
As for me, Opal, I’m as playful and tolerant (and clingy :)) as ever. I’m so excited Winsta has settled in so that we can do our morning, afternoon, AND evening zoomies together! We especially love launching ourselves on, off, over, and under our foster parents bed, bonus points when they’re trying to sleep.
We have been waiting for a home for soooo long. We hope our forever family is coming soon. Could that be you? Meow thanks!
