My story

How this pet arrived:Meet Tanooki and Lumen (#964473), a sweet bonded pair of cats who need to go home together. These two are inseparable and share a special connection, bringing double the companionship to the right family. Both can be shy and a bit fearful when first settling in, so patience and understanding are essential. A quiet home without dogs or children will allow them to truly feel safe and comfortable. The key to helping Tanooki and Lumen acclimate is setting them up in a safe room at first. This gives them a calm, controlled environment where they can build trust at their own pace. Low-pressure interactions-gentle visits, food, delicate play, and treats-will help these two blossom. Make sure to provide ample cozy hiding spots where they can retreat when they need a little time to themselves. Once comfortable, their personalities shine. Tanooki is a clever little food thief who can sniff out snacks from anywhere-so you'll want to keep a close eye on your goodies! Lumen is his loyal sidekick, always nearby to share in the comfort of companionship. Progress may take time, but patient adopters will be rewarded with the quiet joy of seeing these two grow more confident each day. And when it's time for the journey home, don't forget to bring not one, but two top-loading carriers for safe travels. Shy/Fearful Cat:  Tanooki and Lumen require a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. Primary Color: Buff Tabby Weight: 6.64 Age: 1yrs 6mths 3wks

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Tanooki, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
