UPDATE: Pip and Rob have found a new home! Thanks to all who care and share. Thank you to the lovely lady who gets to see just how precious they are :)
Pipsqueek (the Grey) & Rob (the Orange) have been together for 10 years.
They have enjoyed quite the life in diverse places including a three month winter stint in a 16’ x 16’ cabin in the Garnet mountains of Montana. Often you would find them sleeping together directly under the wood stove with its intense heat.
A year and a half in Georgia introduced them to humidity, fleas, and a bear that liked to come right up on the porch. The biting and scratching that fleas brought confused and drove them crazy until we found a solution to get rid of them.
Pipsqueek was a thrift store kitty for several years. She used to ride there on the handle bars of a bicycle in a canvas bag with her head poked out just enough to see the view. Anytime a car would pass by she would duck her head inside the bag and when she felt safe again you would see her head pop out again. In the thrift store she enjoyed being the center of attention frequently flipping over on her back and exposing her belly at the check-out counter to elicit belly rubs from customers. Her penchant for belly rubs continues to this day.
Pipsqueek and Rob are both very affectionate with their person and others. They crave attention. They also enjoy snuggling together and grooming each other. Rob is a bit more aggressive and when Pip has had enough she swats him. Fur begins to fly, they part and then they get over it. Soon you will find them all snuggly together again.
The greatest joy they have had is being with their person. No matter how many times he’s moved they have rolled with the changes and learned to be content wherever they are just to be near him. There was a time about three years ago that life threw him a curve ball and he had to give them up not knowing if he would ever be able to have them back again. They were elated when they were able to be reunited again after three months.
And now their person is making a life change that involves moving at the beginning of July to someplace where they cannot go. Not being able to have his beloved kitties may be temporary, only time will tell. Until we know for sure Pipsqueek and Rob need a loving foster family, someplace where they can live the rest of their lives together if need be. A place where their caretaker or caretakers will give them the love, attention, and affection they crave.
They are happy being indoor kitties only, but there was a time that they were able to be indoor/outdoor kitties and I am sure they would enjoy that again if the opportunity presented itself.
They have a cat tree that both enjoy for looking out the window. Rob really likes scratching on tree. Pipsqueek won’t scratch on it at all. I discovered she likes scratching on a log so she has her very own that she picked up in Georgia.
They have a morning and night food routine that they would like to keep with a special diet and brand of cat food. Their person would like to cover the cost of the food and assist with the cost of the litter.
It is not easy for me to give up my kitties. What would make this transition much easier is knowing my precious Pipsqueek and Rob had a nice loving home to go to. Might that be with you in your home? I look forward to hearing from you.
