Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in New York, New York

Leo and Theo are a bonded pair of 8 week old, 2lb tabby kittens from Long Island. They adore playing with all manner of kitten toys, getting groomed by the resident cat, and cuddling/napping/playing with their foster family.

Behaviors: Leo and Theo were litterbox trained before they arrived at their foster home and have been very good kittens both using the litter box and burying their waste to minimize smells. They are very considerate house guests! Leo and Theo were given full range of the foster home when left alone during the work day. They had kitten kibble available all day, interactive toys, and the company of the resident cat (and each other) to keep them engaged. As a result, there have been no accidents or destructive behaviors signaling the absence of anxiety or stress.

Personalities: When Leo and Theo first arrived in their foster home they were a bit shy and skittish but quickly grew comfortable and showed that they are in fact very playful, affectionate, healthy kittens. Their forever family will need to continue working with them to reinforce and advance the progress they've been making by showing them love and attention. They love to wrestle and play with each other and they are rarely seen without one following the other. They also love to get cozy with their foster family and can often be found playing with all manner of cat toys from springs, mousies, wands, and more.

Ideal Home: Leo and Theo are looking for a loving family that will give them plenty of affection and attention. While they do appreciate downtime and will gladly take naps next to the resident human or cat, they also have plenty of energy to play. Leo and Theo do well with other friendly cats. However, since they have each other to play with they can also thrive in a home without other pets or where the humans have full time jobs.

Leo and Theo will need to be neutered and get their rabies vaccines when they are big enough. They are microchipped, dewormed, and FeLV/FIV negative, dewormed, and microchipped.
