Billie

My story

Billie the Kid is a handsome short haired tuxedo. He does not like to be picked up or held but is starting to really enjoy head scratches and body rubs. Jesse James is a gorgeous medium-haired white & gray. He may look like a kitty that you want to pick up & cuddle, but Jesse is not there yet. Like Billie, he does not like to be picked up or held. He’s starting to let his foster hear his purr when they are able to pat him though. Billie was rescued along with several siblings. He and his brother Jesse were very feral at first. It took them several weeks at their 1st foster home to begin trusting humans and learning the love they can give. Billie & Jesse have been in their 2nd foster home for 6 weeks learning from the older kitties in the home. They have had no problems living with the older kitties & often follow them around learning how to be a house cat. Jesse is still very skittish when people are walking around, but Billie has adjusted quite well. Billie allows a few more body rubs than Jesse does. The best time to pat them is during & after meals. That’s the best time to play with them as well. They love laser pointers, yarn rope toys, toy mice and the turbo scratcher. Jesse still spends a lot of the day hiding under beds & chairs but is slowly making progress. Billie & Jesse need a very special adopter that will give them plenty of time to adjust. We’re not sure how long of an adjustment they will need. They have not been around dogs in foster homes, but may get along well with a kitty-friendly doggie, if introduced properly. Both boys are neutered, microchipped, flea treated, dewormed, fiv/felv tested negative, and received their age-appropriate vaccines. We want Jesse and Billie to be adopted together as they are very much bonded, always spending time together. Plus we believe since they will take an adjustment period to get used to a new environment they would do better together rather then being separated.
