Minerva bonded with Ford - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Silverton, Oregon

Meet Minerva DOB 06-01-26 & Ford DOB 05-01-2026

A Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home

Minerva and Ford found each other, and together they've become the best versions of themselves. They are bonded and must be adopted together.

Minerva came to us from the streets of Salem as a tiny kitten. She was scared and would hide in the tiniest spot in the furthest corner of the house. But with Ford by her side, she learned that people are actually pretty OK!

Now, this once-shy girl has completely transformed. She waits for cuddles on everyone's pillows and would happily be petted all day long! She even cries when her people leave the house.

Ford is an outgoing, cuddly, melt-in-your-arms kind of guy with a personality that wins everyone over. He loves to play snake, slinking along the back of the couch or making his way down from the top of his cat tree.

Ford gave Minerva the confidence she needed, and they make a wonderful team.

Minerva and Ford are looking for a loving forever home together.

If you're looking for two sweet, affectionate cats who will bring plenty of love and personality to your home, these two could be the perfect pair!

Why We Encourage Kitten Pairs

Kittens are social and do best with a feline friend. A buddy helps with confidence, proper play, and emotional well-being. We encourage adopting kittens in pairs, or adopting a single kitten only if you already have another young cat at home.

Fun fact: **Two kittens are often easier than one!**
