About Ingrid & Katia
Ingrid & Katia — Two Shy Sisters Looking for a Kingdom (and a Patient Royal Staff).
Ingrid and Katia are two very shy young sisters with an unbreakable bond and a shared belief that humans exist mainly to deliver food, treats, and entertainment on demand. Rescued as older feral kittens, they arrived wide‑eyed and suspicious, but with patience and kindness they’ve already made some lovely progress.
Ingrid – A delicate little beauty with a soft, thoughtful presence. She’s still gathering her courage, but her gentle soul peeks through more and more each day.
Katia – Equally lovely, a touch braver, and now officially the spokesperson of the duo. She meows at us — not because she wants affection, but because she’s politely reminding the staff that dinner is late or the toy selection is inadequate.
Neither girl is ready for strokes or cuddles yet. They simply do not feel the need to reward their humans with such luxuries at this time. They may reconsider in the future… or they may not. They like to keep us guessing.
What These Sisters Need
These girls would flourish in a calm, adult‑only home with someone experienced in building trust slowly, gently, and without expectations. They adore other cats — especially older, friendly “uncle” types who can show them that humans aren’t entirely useless and that strokes can actually be quite nice.
A spacious indoor home is essential. They need room to explore, play, and observe their kingdom from various vantage points. A small flat won’t give them the space they need to grow into their full, quietly majestic selves.
Most importantly, they need a guardian who is:
Happy to serve
Happy to provide a safe indoor kingdom
Happy to offer toys, enrichment, and patience
Happy to accept that stroking may not be permitted for a long time
With the right person, Ingrid and Katia will continue to blossom — slowly, softly, and in their own beautifully shy way.
