Serena Roanoke, a female born in June 2015, was returned to 4Paws with her mom, Simone Roanoke, who's just over 11. Their adopters had a baby and don't have enough time to give their kitties the attention and love they deserve.
Simone and Serena are not bonded and we expect they would adjust well to being adopted separately. However, given their age, it would be preferable for them to be adopted together.
Both Serena and Simone enjoy being picked up; Serena would sometimes curl up on the couch next to her humans for some pets, but not before she spent some time kneading a blanket to ensure the spot was just right.
Simone likes her solitude, snoozing in cozy places, but she also enjoys long stretches of attention/pets. She was curious about the children in her former home and was very patient despite the toddler squeezing her tail sometimes. Serena was also curious about the kids, but was a little wary of the toddler.
Despite their age, they both still love to play! Serena is the more energetic of the two and sometimes gets the zoomies. Both Simone and Serena enjoy attacking ribbon and other similar toys.
They both approach their humans for affection, including requests for pets! They were not allowed to sleep with their prior owners because they're light sleepers, but it seems clear that Serena would like to as she would meow for a few minutes after her parents would say goodnight....perhaps in hopes that they'd let her sleep with them. Simone never made any similar requests.
They've been exposed to a small dog and they were not fans. Given their age, we think it's best that their adoptive home(s) be one(s) that do not have any dogs. We expect that they would do well with other medium to older aged, mellow cats.
Serena has been spayed, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and has been microchipped.
