Two 8-year old sibling cats NEED a home
1) female - spayed, short-haired grey mix and 2) male - neutered medium-haired orange and white. Although they have been cared for well and adored over the years, circumstances necessitate that they adopt a new individual or family to love and care for them. They have grown into beautiful, sweet adult cats with very different personalities and looks but both with the love for human affection and appreciation of a good tummy rub and a brush through their fur. They are easy to care for indoor cats that would thrive in a home with space to move around and a calm atmosphere. It would be best if they remained together, but if the circumstance are right, it might work for them to separate too.
