Bashful

My story

Birthdate:  02/16/2021Breed: One of a kindJust like us, cats crave companionship and safety.  Before rescue, SLEEPY probably spent the better part of a year outside left to fend for himself.  His partner, BASHFUL was more fortunate- - rescued just after all the cold winter months.  Now if I never knew differently, I might assume that they'd been in a home their entire lives.   Adjusting to indoors and all the love and real care that was coming their way, proved unproblematic and now, this charming duo is turn-key ready to fill your heart and your home.  The "strong, silent type", SLEEPY is both elegant and ruggedly handsome.  A long neck, eyes that pop and frilly bibs of white at his neck and below give us "dapper".  But it's his morning greeting - a solid, intentional headlong "boop" that brings you directly into his circle of trust.   He is both friend and North Star for our glamour girl, BASHFUL.  Looking to him for direction and reassurance, we're told any time they were separated, the longing for one another was painfully obvious.  But she is eager to reach for us as well and what a delightful surprise, the first time she snuggled deep in my arms.  A deep pewter grey coat is perfectly detailed as if it was stenciled with silver lightning.   Luminous jade eyes are beacons of tender love that she'll gladly share with her guy Sleepy and you, too.  **Bashful and Sleepy are a bonded pair and need to go home together!** The Rescue is open 7 days a week for you to come and meet our pets!
