Fresh out of the bakery and ready to steal your heart!

Every great Italian bakery has two specialties... and we'd like to think it's these two.

Meet Biscotti and Cannoli, two sweet brothers whose recipe for happiness includes a pinch of patience, a spoonful of love, and—most importantly—a generous helping of snacks.

Our story didn't begin so sweet. We were born in a feral colony where life was uncertain, and although returning there was an option, everyone who met us knew we deserved something better. We deserved warm beds instead of cold nights, full bellies instead of wondering where our next meal would come from, and a family to call our own.

Thanks to our incredible foster family, we've discovered that people are actually pretty wonderful. (Especially the ones carrying treat bags.)

I'm Cannoli, the handsome birch-striped tabby with white. I tend to be the cautious one. New things can make me a little nervous, but give me a little time, a quiet place to settle in, and maybe a few strategically placed snacks, and you'll discover a sweetheart who absolutely melts for gentle affection.

And I'm Biscotti, the stunning brown swirl tabby with white. I might be a little shy at first too, but once I decide you're one of my people, you'll quickly learn that my favorite place is wherever you are. I'm soft, sweet, and always happy to let my brother know that everything is going to be just fine.

Together we're the perfect batch.

We love chasing toys, wrestling with each other, bird watching from the window, and curling up together after a long day of kitten adventures. While we may not run up to greet strangers on day one, every little step forward is incredibly rewarding. Watching us learn to trust, lean in for pets, and finally flop over for belly rubs is the kind of magic that rescue is all about.

Our foster family has taught us one very important life lesson:

Bribery is absolutely encouraged around here.

Treats? Excellent.
Churu? Outstanding.
A patient human willing to let us come to them? Chef's kiss.

We're looking for a family that understands that some of the sweetest things in life take just a little time. Trust us—we're worth the wait.

So, if your home could use twice the love, twice the purrs, and just the right amount of Italian sweetness...

Biscotti & Cannoli are officially ready to be your favorite comfort food.

"Life is sweeter when it's shared... especially with brothers."

Our adoption fee is $650! We do not accept deposits or the adoption fee until you have met your new fur babies and are ready to bring them home.

Important Information:
All of our animals are fully vetted before going to their furever homes. They are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines (age appropriate), dewormed, up to date on flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and microchipped!

You must be an approved adopter in order to go on meet and greets. This saves everyones time- especially our gracious foster families! This also allows for you to take the animals home from the meet and greet if you so choose.

We are very quick to respond and process applications! All animals are posted until they have gone home to their new family. This animal may have other interested adopters in line. Please apply quickly and be prepared to welcome them into your home within a few days if you are interested.

The Adoption Process:
After our volunteers receive the application, they contact the potential adopter to set up an interview. During the interview they will:
discuss the animal the adopter is applying to adopt,
talk to the adopter about their experience with animals,
find out more about the type of animal the adopter is looking to adopt,
go over any questions the rescue may have regarding your application,
help find the perfect fit for the adopter's family and lifestyle,
and answer any questions the adopter has about the animal they are looking to adopt, the rescue, and how the adoption process works.

As part of the approval process, we require 2 non-family personal references. Our volunteers contact both references and have conversations regarding the potential adopter. If we are unable to reach the references provided, additional references may be requested. We also require a vet check. We will call the vet to conduct a short reference check.

A video walk-through of the adopter's home (and yard, if adopting a dog) is also required. The safety of our animals is one of our top priorities. They deserve to have a safe and secure place to live. The video can be sent to the Whiskers Fund email address or Facebook messenger upon submitting your application. When submitting the video, please reference which animal(s) you are applying to adopt.

Once the adopter is approved and matched with an animal, we will make arrangements for the animal to go to their new home. We hope to have each animal in their new home within a week. We are very clear that we will be keeping in touch and checking in for updates.
