A North Carolina animal rights activist captured on the street seals from a wild cat colony (to castrate and release) and noticed two kittens who stuck together multiple times. Just before the snowstorm, she managed to get them and many other cats to safety.
Two kittens were sent to the veterinarian clinic in separate cages for inspection. When Murphy’s Law Animal Rescue founder Sarah Kelly was asked for assistance, she went to pick them up.
“We fell in love with their personality as soon as we arrived and saw them sitting in cages.” Gus, the oldest one (who was seven months old at the time), was really peaceful. “All he did was sit and purr as Spencer (the youngest, four months old) struggled to come out and seek attention,” Sarah explains.
Spencer spun in place and mewed, affectionately stretching out his paw to Sarah. It was clear from the start that the kittens were hungry for attention and excited to finally be off the streets.
“We decided to put them in one carrier based on how they behave in neighboring cages – and this was the best decision.”
Gus, the elder cat, began lovingly washing Spencer’s muzzle right away.
“Spencer rolled around blissfully curled up in a ball. “They slept the whole way home, cuddling close to one other,” Sarah recounts.
“They are really close; we are astounded by this tremendous closeness between two boys who are not blood brothers, yet they like being around each other – they are quite unique.”
The best pals immediately adapted to their new surroundings. They were cleansed and wormed and flea treated. They spent the day caressing and grooming each other, content in their new surroundings.
The kittens never sleep alone because they keep each other insight.
Gus and Spencer were neutered at the start of the week and returned home purring and ready to be petted.
“Gus is the more caring of the duo, and Spencer is the more restless and attention-seeking, but together they are both loving, hugging, and trying to curl up in your lap to get the affection for two,” says Sarah.
“Gus is relieved to be out of the cold and snow and in excellent hands. Spencer and he are both very gentle!”
“These two are obviously not from the same brood, since one is a few months older than the other, but they hit it off!”
Knowing that their bond is special, Murphy’s Law Animal Rescue hopes to have the cats successfully placed in the same hands.
“We’re thrilled to offer these two the second opportunity they deserve, as well as a warm, welcoming environment where they may wait for their forever family.”
