Dom / Winston

My story

Dom is a cuddle monster and Wonston is a play machine, and you are in luck because these two 3-year-old bonded boys are looking for their new furever home to spoil and love them for the rest of their days! Winston is your right hand man. He’s energetic, goofy, and interested in everything, and able to play nonstop with you or his brother Dom. Winston’s personality is a lovable goofball. He’s talkative, and loves to talk to you even though he can’t speak human. Once he’s comfortable, Winston will be your best buddy—staying nearby when play resumes. Winston spends his day watching the squirrels outside, chasing balls around the living room or sleeping in his plush cat bed. Like a dog, Winston will often offer you a few licks to let you know he’s in for some lovin’—the chin’s the spot. Winston prefers a deep neck and chest scratch; whereas Dom much prefers a chin, back and butt rub.Dom is your lovable cowardly lion. Once comfortable, Dom is a singer—he’ll sing for you and his brother Winston when he’s happy, teasing, or excited to see you. While adjusting to new homes or people, though, Dom can stay quite distant or afraid for a while. His brother Winston slowly helps him adventure and demonstrate the home’s safeness—and Dom soon catches on.Dom’s personality is all cuddle and wonder—he’ll happily take the crook of your arm while on the couch, or find a small blanket to sit atop; or he loves to hang his head from high spaces and gaze around. Dom spends his day sleeping, trying to catch the laser pointer, and tagging along with his brother on his adventures. Dom always plays backup.Together, Dom and his brother Winston are two little best friends who are looking for a home where they can be their joyous, energetic selves. Dom much prefers a chin, back and butt rub; whereas Winston prefers a deep neck and chest scratch.Once comfortable, Dom’s energy matches Winston’s—he loves to tag along on whatever activity has everyone’s attention. Dom and Winston both have lots of energy—they know no energy limits to playtime. Dom is particularly savage when it comes to crinkly balls, mice or feathers on string. He’s a chaser, and loves to swat at “prey.”Both brothers play quite a bit with each other. When you’re lucky enough to witness, it’s an adorable bedlam of snowball paws and fluffy slam downs by the boys. They love to chase each other and wrestle—who wins is still undecided. Winston can sometimes become intimidated by Dom’s dominance. During play, it helps to have them engaged separately with their own individual play when possible.Dom and his brother are happiest in homes with at least one large space or hallway for running and chasing each other. Rugs or carpets help, so they can practice their zoomies. They are strictly indoor cats. Dom’s home should be clean, with small cuddly crooks and nooks for him to explore and from which to observe. Dom’s ideal home is one without existing resident animals—his shyness can limit his sociability with other animals.Dom and his brother Winston would ideally do best in a home that’s familiar with the quirks and behaviors of cats.Dom—once comfortable—will be your shoulder-crook cuddle partner in any space after your relationship grows. Until then, Dom takes much longer than Winston to adjust to new spaces and people. He’s also more sensitive to loud noises, bangs or stomping in the home by tall people. During the first three weeks in his new space, Dom will mostly hide, and slowly begin to observe you and the home from safe distances. But with time, and successful tips you’ll receive from the foster, Dom will become comfortable in no time.These boys are so special, and deserve a forever home that loves and respects their endearing and quirky personalities furever. So, if you’re looking to add 8 furry paws, two wet noses and endless purrs, pets and snuggles, consider these two bonded boys!Interested in adopting or learning more about this cat?
