Forget about Sugarplum fairies dancing in our heads... wishful dreaming for cat lovers, sometimes features purring ginger kittens!! TIGERLILY and DANDY LION were rescued by friends up county who are dedicated to community cats and TNR. Ordinarily, these precious souls would have been returned outside, but there was just something about them. Patience and a whole lot of TLC made it impossible to consider anything other than keeping them safe and loved with us!

Dandy Lion is currently the more confident of the pair. He is curious and playful but even more endearing is how eager he is to purr in response to our pets and even offer us his warm belly. His eyes are filled with new-found trust and love and it's hard not to respond to that!

Tigerlily might still be more skeptical about us in spots, but this courageous little one is learning fast. She is no less affectionate (that spotted rump goes high in the air!) and she seems slightly bemused by the fact that humans can make her feel so good. Looking much like a little leopard or lion cub, the tender pull of her brave heart is undeniable.

We'd love to keep them together, but would consider sending them home to - or with - another social cat. Insider info: our handsome Redford is likely related to these babies and has been known to snuggle them lovingly.
