Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Bootsy Collins and Peeta are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

Hi. I'm Bootsy Collins ~ accomplished athlete and proud brother to Peeta (you'll hear him before you see him!). I recently competed in the Olympic Chase Event and took first place in the high-speed hallway sprint event. It was so pawsome! And when I'm not competing, I work out at home with crinkle balls and ping pong balls to stay in shape. If it crinkles, rattles, or skitters across the floor at lightning speed, I'm on it!

Now, my brother, Peeta, is more low-key and a real love bug. If you are sitting, he will be on your lap. If you are not sitting, he will politely (and loudly) suggest that you should be. He believes in proactive cuddling, but he doesn't believe in waiting for love when you can demand it with tiny little head boops and dramatic eye contact!

Oh, just a few fine-print details (because we believe transparency is important in lifelong relationships): Paw cleaning? Hard pass. Our toes are perfect as they are. Car rides to the vet? We will likely protest with interpretive meowing. But other than that, we are sweet, funny, playful boys with giant hearts. We love each other and we promise to fill your home with laughter, energy, and more love than you even thought possible!
