Pinto & Cheese - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in West Allis, Wisconsin

Pinto and Cheese are a bonded pair who were trapped on December 15, 2025. They were approximately four months old and were living behind a Taco Bell eating from a dumpster to survive.

They were unsocialized feral kittens when first brought indoors. They have spent the last several months discovering the splendors of indoor life and human companionship. They have made leaps and bounds in their socialization.

They have fully integrated into their foster family, and are currently living with other resident dogs and cats along with two older children. Pinto and Cheese will do best a quieter home setting with a family who understands that they will need the gift of patience while they transition into a new home.

Pinto is a slow burn. She is a petite little kitten with short legs and a solid little body. She has a timid, cautious nature about her and relies on her brother Cheese for comfort until she feels comfortable in her environment. She is a beautiful queen who prefers to take her time and observe you from a distance before giving you her most precious gift of trust and affection. Pinto enjoys the company of other cats and when she’s ready she loves to be in the room with you, though she prefers to be adored from afar at first— Typical queen behavior. She is well worth the wait to win her over. She is an absolute favorite in our household, and is worshipped by all.

Cheese is your classic deluxe outgoing orangie. He is big and bright. Though he may take a little extra time to warm up in the beginning he makes up for it once he’s comfortable. He absolutely loves his humans, and will look at you like you are the apple of his eye. He enjoys hanging out and observing whatever you’re doing, and has a purr that you can hear from another room. It is truly other worldly. He is an absolute delight. He is easygoing, gets along well with other cats and adores calm respectful dogs. His best friend is a dog named Violet and seeks her out to rub against her and lay next to her.

Together they are a perfect little pair. A small. A large. Both with their own little quirks that for the right family will be the qualities they adore most about them. They are low maintenance cats- very independent, not overly cuddly. They both prefer all four on the floor, being held and snuggled close is not their vibe. But that could change once they’re settled into your home. They will need their new family to be ready to commit to their need for time and patience to acclimate to a new environment. Give them that and they will blossom before your eyes.
