My story

A family found two adult cats & four 1-week-old kittens in a large plastic bin. The two adult cats were both females and not only were they bonded to each other, something unique was happening. Katie Jo and Leona were both caring for the kittens, nursing them, cleaning them, etc. Each taking such loving turns that we could not figure out who was who: Perhaps two Mamas and their babies were found together? Some sleuthing with the Vet uncovered that while Katie Jo was their Mama, Leona was their surrogate wet nurse. How that came to be we will never know, but it was truly magical to watch these two jointly care for and nurture the kittens. Found and chosen family, a world we know all about. When the kittens were weaned and ready for adoption it was clear that Katie Jo and Leona, our Mama Sisters, would need to stay together and they are currently available for adoption Katie Jo can never ever get enough pets, that is your first clue that you have an absolute lovebug next to you! She adores her wand toy time, looking out the window at Cat TV and being with Leona, her adopted Sister. Give her a hairbrushing and you have go yourself a new Bff! Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. This cat is currently in a foster home. To meet the cat, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Our adoption application is on our website here:  www.thedancingcat.org/adopt  July 29, 2025, 5:21 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Katie Jo (bonded w/ Leona), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
