A North Carolina animal rights activist collected wild cat colonies’ seals on the streets (to castrate and release them), and numerous times she noticed two kittens that stayed together. 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. Spencer (the youngest, four months old) tried to escape, but he simply sat there purring.
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 older cat, immediately began to wash Spencer’s muzzle with all his love.
“Spencer curled up into a ball and rolled happily. They slept all the way to the house, cuddled up to each other, ”says 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.
The kittens never sleep alone since they stay in close proximity to one another.
Gus and Spencer were neutered at the beginning 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!”
“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.
The best pals immediately became comfortable in their temporary house. They underwent washing and worm and flea treatments. They spent the day grooming and hugging each other after settling into their new home.
The kittens never sleep alone because they remain in each other’s line of sight.
