What we have here is a sort of odd, bonded pair between a kitten and an adult. Rascal, three-four months old, is as cute a kitten as anyone could ever hope for. Five-year-old Sailor was a shy orange boy who came out of a hoarding situation where he did not receive much human attention, and reclusively hid in his foster home until Rascal, an affectionate little grey kitten about two-three months old, came along. Sailor took to the little guy quickly, adopting the role of a nurturing uncle: watching over him, gently wrestling with him, and generally looking after him. In turn, Rascal helped Sailor come out of his shell and gradually accept more human interaction to the point where he allows petting. He sees little purring machine Rascal enjoy being pet, which has helped Sailor’s caring nature emerge. Little Rascal can play with his tail or chew on his ear, but Sailor is always gentle and protective. It’s quite touching to see. We haven’t observed them with children or dogs. We think they would do well with children who are mature enough to treat cats respectfully and understand their dynamic.
Rascal might be the world’s cuddliest kitten. He loves to be held and pet. He’s also full of mischief. and loves toys. Sailor is also very playful. All you need is a pole toy for him to entertain you with acrobatic leaps. He’s also very well behaved and never scratches furniture.
These boys should be adopted into an interactive home where they’ll get lots of play and attention, and it would be best if they were the only cats in their adoptive home. They’d be an excellent pair for an adopter who wants a friendly little kitten, and is willing to be patient with Sailor as he adjusts more slowly. Because they are bonded to each other, they must be adopted together.
They have been neutered, given rabies and distemper vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and treated for worms and fleas. Their adopter will receive their medical records. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. They’re being fostered in Boston’s North End.
