Murphy is a formerly sheltered brown tabby boy who spent his early life staying near to his mama Ashanti side, tucked safely under her wing.
You could always tell in his eyes that he wanted to play and interact with humans. He would watch with so much curiosity and hope, but he was always just a little too nervous to get super comfortable with them. So he stayed close to his mama, the one person in the whole world he trusted completely.
Thankfully, he and his mama, who he loves dearly, moved onto a foster home a few weeks ago, and Murphy has blossomed into a super social teenager.
He still is a mama boy and loves to go back to the perch they share with one another to tell her all about the games he played with his human friends, and now other boy kitty friends too. And the very best part, he even loves to be petted and held now. He has learned that humans are kind, that playtime is wonderful, and that love is safe.
We would love to find a forever home for both Murphy and his mama, hopefully with a home that has another playmate for Murphy and humans who do not mind Ashanti space.
Ashanti is a sweet girl and very low maintenance. She gets along with other cats as well. She is just an extremely slow burn, like a snail covered in thick molasses kind of pace, at trusting and interacting with humans. She may not climb into your lap on day one, but she is watching, she is learning, and she is so worth the wait. With patience, kindness, and a quiet place to feel safe, she will show you her gentle heart in her own time.
Together, they are perfect. Murphy brings the joy, the play, and the cuddles. Ashanti brings the calm, the comfort, and the love of a mama who never gave up on her boy.
If you have room in your home and your heart for a bonded pair, one brave boy who is ready to love you, and one shy mama who just needs a little more time, Murphy and Ashanti are waiting to meet you.
