When North Carolina-based animal rights activist used to capture cats from a street-based wild cat colony (to castrate and release them), she frequently noticed two kittens clinging to one other. Just before the snowstorm, she was able to transport them and several more cats to safety.
Two kittens were brought in separate cages for inspection at the vet’s office. When asked for assistance, Sarah Kelly—founder of Murphy’s Law Animal Rescue—went to pick them up.
“As soon as we arrived and discovered them confined in cages, we fell in love with their personalities. The older child, seven-month-old Gus, was so composed.
e just sat and purred while Spencer (the youngest, four months old) tried to get out and get attention, ”says Sarah.
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.”
The older cat, Gus, started lovingly washing Spencer’s muzzle right away.
“Spencer gleefully rolled about in a ball. They slept the entire way home, hugging each other, said Sarah.
“They are very close, we are surprised by this incredible bond between two males who are not biological brothers, but they really enjoy being around – they are so special.”
The best pals settled in fast to their temporary house. They were cleaned and given worm and flea treatments. They enjoyed their new surroundings and spent the day grooming and loving one another.
Kittens never sleep alone because they stay in close proximity to one another.
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 affection for two,” says Sarah.
“Gus is very happy to be in good hands, away from the cold and snow. He and his brother Spencer are very tame!”
Despite the fact that one of them is a few months older than the other, these two get along despite not being from the same brood.
Murphy’s Law Animal Rescue want to successfully place the cats in the same care since they have a particular relationship.
“We’re excited to give these two the second chance they deserve and a warm, soft spot where they can wait for the family of their dreams.”
