Charlie (bonded with Chessa)

My story

Meet Charlie and Chessa!They went through a lot as babies. They’re doing great now, healthy, playful and curious. They are both skittish initially and when at the rescue awaiting adoption, they’re both terrified and super shy. That is NOT an accurate reflection of their wonderful personalities though. Chessa was adopted once, but was miserable without her brother. She barely ate and was super withdrawn for a few days. For the sake of her health, I took her back. Within an hour of being back with her brother, they were playing, grooming and chasing each other. We then decided it would be best for her and her brother to be adopted as a bonded pair. They both get along with other cats as well, as long as introduced properly and the other cat/cats are accepting. They both LOVE to play! Springs, balls, balled up receipts, and the pole with feathers at the end of a string. Charlie is super lovey with a BIG purr motor. He’s a bit goofy and loves to flop on you. Chessa is a bit more reserved, but will loosen up and enjoys being loved on and talked to. She will talk back. I’m pretty sure she has primary possession of the one brain cell because she has a very intelligent look in her eyes and she’s always watching. Her initial name was Chester, because I was told she’s a boy. They had just assumed she was a he because orange girls are rare. Needless to say, she then became “Chessa”. Both love to be on the bed with me, but Charlie will get under the covers for a cuddle. They just met my dog today and both were curious, but hissed (normal). My dog ignored them, so I’m sure that helped. They adjust well if given time. They’re wonderful and just need someone to give them a chance. You won’t regret it. Each is a good Ying to the others Yang.If you are interested in adopting please complete our online application: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=lv2236&method=online_form_html&formid=43Adoption Fee for the pair is $250.00All kittens are fully vetted prior to being adopted, FVRCP, FeLV and Rabies Vaccines, FeLV / FIV Tested, Spayed / Neutered and Microchipped.Note: We are part of Texas Rustlers Guinea Pig Rescue - www.texasrustlers.com
