Bluey and Bingo

Some of you may remember us, we are two of the three kittens that were found dumped in a plastic box outside some shops back in February, our finder found us and took us to the sanctuary where they knew we would get the care we deserved. There was 4 of us but sadly upon discovery our finder opened the lid slightly to see what was inside and one of us ran out and sadly despite our carers best efforts there were just no sightings to be reunited. We were severely malnourished so we were taken straight into a foster home with one of our carers so that we could have closer monitoring and so we can be fed more frequently to help us build up some strength and gain weight. Our bad luck didn’t stop there… After a few weeks of being in foster our foster mummy knew something wasn’t quite right when we kept having loose stools, faecal samples were taken which later showed that we had a nasty parasite called giardia. The decision was made for us to come back to the sanctuary where they could do stricter cleaning to help fight the giardia quicker! After some horrible medicine for a couple of weeks we soon got the all clear for this and were on our way to finally being able to start our vet work! I Bingo can be a little bit wary at first but it really doesn’t take long for me to gain your trust, my sister Bluey is much more confident in meeting new people. We are a very sweet pair that just loves to give cuddles and be parrot cats! Once bonded with you we love nothing more than plopping onto a lap for some cuddles. We will accept being picked up however we are very wiggly and won’t stay there for very long, we much prefer cuddles on the floor and us to climb onto you instead! We have such high energy and will spend hours doing zoomies and having a play, anyone that adopts us need to be prepared for minimal quiet moments, my carers say we will bring such joy and entertainment to a home. Home we are looking for… We must be homed together as we are a bonded pair. (We could also be rehomed with our brother Bandit if someone wanted to adopt all three of us together). We are cheeky girls that are livewires and so full of energy especially Bluey! We have a naughty habit of jumping up on shoulders (more so bluey) as we just want to be close to our humans, we do hurt sometimes when doing this, our carers are working with us to try and discourage this behaviour. We have calmed down recently with this behaviour as we have started to mature and are much calmer in general. We would be better suited to a home with older children 8+ only who understand when to give us space. Our ideal home would be an active home with lots of space where we can burn off our energy and where we will get plenty of human time for cuddles and play. Unfortunately we were very fearful of dogs and completely freaked out so for this reason we couldn’t be homed with a dog as they would cause us too much stress. We would prefer to indoor-only cats due to how easily we may spook outside, as long as our new family provides us with plenty of enrichment, including toys, puzzle feeders, scratching posts, and cat furniture to keep us entertained. We could also enjoy access to the outdoors, either through a secure catio, a cat-proofed garden. Please note- Applicants will ONLY be contacted if you are a suitable match. Please be aware we complete our rehoming checks prior to arranging any meets. Medical History… When we first arrived at the sanctuary we suffered with poorly tummies, after some tests it was discovered that we were suffering from a nasty parasite called Giardia. After some medication we were given the all clear. My carers have recently noticed we have very red and inflamed gums, this has been seen by a vet who has said it could be juvenile gingivitis which may go on its own but no one can say for certain, this will need monitoring in a home. We carry feline coronavirus, which can cause occasional diarrhoea when the virus is being shed. Feline coronavirus is very common, and many cats are exposed to it without becoming seriously unwell. In a small number of cats, the virus can mutate and cause FIP, but most cats exposed to feline coronavirus do not develop FIP.

Please make sure you have read about all of my needs and our adoption policies before applying. Forms lacking in detail or with questions unanswered may not be considered, we need to ensure we are matching our cats to the right home for them.
