Marisol and Maximus

My story

Meet Marisol and Maximus! These two sweet babies came to us when a person who does TNR had them at the clinic and afterwards they were going to be dropped off at a barn. We saw their faces and knew they were destined for so much more! They've been in their foster home for roughly 7 months and are now one year old. When they first came to us, Mary and Max were extremely shy but still welcomed love and pets. Over time, this bonded pair have become complete love bugs. Sometimes at a loud noise, new stimulus, or new people they still cower away for a few minutes- but they’re sure to come back around and get as close as they can to you. We wouldn’t describe these two as lap cats, but definitely velcro cats! When you enter their space they come up to you curiously seeking pets and affection. Mary is fairly confident in herself and doesn’t get spooked as often and Max. She’ll walk up, present herself, and demand you give her scritches. She has such a calm, cool, and collected demeanor about her. Max can be slightly more apprehensive than Mary, but he will under all circumstances chase you around with his tail shaking in anticipation of getting love. Although he seems timid initially, he in particular loves hard and firm pets and scratches. He’ll lean into your hands and hope you don’t pull away… ever lol. These two absolutely adore each other and where you’ll find one, you’ll find the other. They like to nap, play, eat, and snuggle together all day every day! They’re still fairly young, but they don’t obtain the high energy most kittens do. They’re quite laid back and prefer to sit on a cat tower with one another or look out the window and gaze at things passing by. Both of these kitties absolutely love other cats! They spend all their time with their foster friends and can’t get enough of them. Due to their more apprehensive nature, we don’t recommend they be placed in a home with children under 8 years of age unless your child truly understand cats spaces, and respecting their bodies and boundaries. They don’t mind being picked up in short increments and it really helps them learn to trust their people when the person doesn’t just abruptly intrude on their space by grabbing, lifting, etc. We recommend a calmer household for these two where they can really blossom into the full version of themselves with a patient and loving owner.
