M
ixed Siamese brother and sister Boogie and
Cuddles have been attached since they were
found together as kittens living under the house of an
elderly couple. Friendly and cuddly, the kittens were
loved in their quiet home for 13 years until the recent
passing of their caretakers. Now the twins are without
a home and are in need of someone willing to adopt or
foster them until they find a permanent home.
After the couple passed, their daughters began trying
to find a home for the cats and reached out to Parker
Paws, but their facilities were full. The ladies agreed to
become courtesy fosters, making the cats the property
of Parker Paws, but allowing them to remain in their
home until there was space available. Both cats almost
immediately confined themselves to a closet once they
realized their owners wouldn’t be returning, and after
two weeks of depression in the dark closet, the cats
were removed from the home and placed in the Cat
Adoption Center at PetSmart, returning to their old
selves.
Boogie is the more outgoing of the two cats. He
loves to greet visitors by rubbing against their legs or
jumping in their lap to be petted. But as much as he
appreciates being rubbed, his silky fur will make you
not want to stop stroking him. He’ll explore your bags
and lay on your wallet, probably to remind you of him
later when you find cat hairs on both, but his glassy
blue eyes will capture your heart with one glance. But,
not even his adventurous nature can pull him away
from Cuddles. Often grooming her and leading her on
adventures she would otherwise be afraid to go on,
Boogie is Cuddles’ caretaker.
“Though more skittish than Boogie, Cuddles is just
as loveable. She’s slower to warm up to new people,
but will be more attached once she gets to know them.
Her lazier nature makes her the more laid-back of the
two, and she is often described as a ‘lap cat,’” Parker
Paws staff member Brenda said.
As her name implies, she’s always ready to snuggle
and is a great companion to have on a rainy day when
you want to spend a few hours in a book.
“Both cats would do best indoors in a quiet home,
without children, and are looking to be kept together
in a situation that is similar to the one they came from.
Normally, older cats are more anti-social, but both are
still friendly and have youthful personalities and energy
levels,” Brenda said.
These cats have been without a home since the end
of April and would love to be the pets of any animal
lover that can provide for them. Both are vaccinated
and ready to become companions. Anyone interested
in adopting Boogie and Cuddles or fostering them can
visit the cats at PetSmart in Weatherford at the Cat
Adoption Center and fill out an adoption application on
the Parker Paws website.
