Oreo and Reese - American Shorthair Cat for Adoption in Medford, Massachusetts

Hi! We’re Oreo and Reese, two 5 and half-year-old sisters who have been together our whole lives. We came all the way from the British Virgin Islands about five years ago and were adopted together. Now, through no fault of our own, our family is moving to an apartment that doesn’t allow cats, so we need a new home.
And there’s one thing we know for sure: we want to stay together.
We may be sisters, but you definitely won’t have trouble telling us apart — either by our looks or our personalities!
I’m Oreo, the black-and-white girl.
I’m the more outgoing, affectionate sister and a serious snuggler once I know you. I love laps, have a wonderfully loud purr, and enjoy being wherever my people are. I’m playful and curious, too — toy mice are my favorite, and sometimes I’ll even ask my people to follow me around while I investigate things!
I love affection, especially chin rubs, and I’m very good at letting you know when I’m ready for some love. I can be shy with strangers at first, but once I decide you’re one of my people, you’ll get to see my sweet, social, snuggly side.
And I’m Reese, the pretty striped girl.
I’m the quieter, more independent sister. I’m sweet, curious, observant, and I like to take a little more time before deciding someone has earned my trust. But once I’m comfortable, my personality starts to shine.
I especially love kneading on my favorite blanket — preferably when it’s draped over my person’s legs on the couch. It’s one of my favorite cozy routines! I also enjoy playing with corks and ping-pong balls and keeping a close eye on everything happening around me.
Together, we enjoy the finer things in life: cat trees, scratching posts, windowsills, sunny spots, toys, cozy blankets, good food, naps, and being near our people.
We can both be shy and skittish when we first meet someone, so we’re looking for people who understand that the best relationships sometimes take a little time. Give us patience and the chance to feel safe, and we’ll show you just how special we are.
We’ve never lived with other pets, and with such a big transition ahead of us, we’d be happiest in a home without other animals. We’re good with adults; Oreo is comfortable with adults, while Reese hasn’t lived with children, so a calm household would be a great fit for us.
We’re both spayed, microchipped, litter-box trained, and in good health.
Most importantly, we’re a bonded pair and need to be adopted together. We’ve had each other through every chapter of our lives — from the British Virgin Islands to our first home and now through this unexpected change. We’d really like the next chapter to be the one where we find our forever family.
I’m Oreo — the black-and-white, snuggly, social explorer.
And I’m Reese — the striped, independent, observant sweetheart.
Two sisters. Two very different personalities. One forever home.
Could you be the person who gives us the happy ending we deserve?
(Adoption fee is for both)
