Our family was pulled from Mpls Animal Control and we went directly into a loving foster home until we were ready for adoption. We're back at the shelter now and looking forward to meeting you!
Notes from my foster mom: This crew came to me for socialization. They were all able to be handled from the start, but comfort levels with being held and human interaction with wand toys varied. None of them will fight to escape being held, but some are more comfortable with being held at this point. All of them, except for Chet, will likely need time to adjust to, and trust, being held by a new family member. Lickable treats are a great way to lure them in and build that trust and with patience, you will win them over! This crew is so fun to watch - one running off with the wand toy, trying to play keep away from the siblings - and giving little growls in the process! Batting fling toys, or running with them in their mouths! Each would do great with a feline companion - a built-in playmate for when the humans are not (or even are!) around!! All these siblings do very well together and any combination would work well if decided to adopt in a pair.
Gale, the 2nd sister, is a solid tabby. She is currently wearing a red collar - the only way I can tell her apart from Chet, yet her personality is definitely different. Confident Chet, observer Gale would be my initial description comparison. Gale is the most reserved of the litter, but has been an alert observer for a while. Just this week, she started engaging in the wand toy activity - I am so proud of her! It takes braveness to conquer a fear of new environments and humans! She is now coming up for the lickable treats also but backs off when all the other siblings try to overtake; unlike Chet who will find a way to stay in and get some! Gale likes to get ahold of the wand toy when she can and then runs around the room "growling" with it. It's so endearing/fun to watch this! Currently, if you try to pick her up within the room, she will run off unless you can get her while she's playing, etc. We have been working on holding her close and loving on her to build that trust. I know she will get there with continued support, love, and patience!
Good with dogs: likely with a proper introduction
Good with cats: yes
Good with children: possibly with a slower introduction
Cats are feline leukemia/feline immunodeficiency virus tested (if applicable), if there is a litter, one in the litter is tested or the queen is tested. They have had at least their first distemper combo (booster given if been in our care for the appropriate time), been de-wormed, microchipped, and treated with a flea and tick product (if applicable). All the cats are spayed or neutered before they leave for their forever homes.
