Meet Chowder and Gumbo! These brothers came to us in early January at just over a week old. The kittens were found in an Akron dumpster and were fortunate to be brought to rescue before being harmed by the winter cold. Chowder & Gumbo have bright blue eyes and beautiful flame point coloring. The boys are best friends but each has his own unique personality. Gumbo is the baby of the litter - h e loves to be held and carried. He often sleeps on his back and loves to get belly rubs while he naps. Gumbo is very affectionate and likes to lick and groom his siblings and foster parents. He came to us with an injured ear, and while it has healed very well and doesn't require continued care, it will always look a little different. Chowder is the leader of his litter - he is very friendly and confident and will be the first to greet a visitor. He is a master cuddler and can make himself comfortable in any lap. Chowder loves toys and carries his favorite mouse around like a dog would. Chowder and Gumbo l ove to wrestle and play with each other and with their foster siblings. They love other cats and have been fostered with older feline foster siblings. They have not been introduced to children or adults, but are adaptable and should be fine with either (with proper supervision). Both kittens are litterbox trained and eating hard food. Chowder and Gumbo are about 10 weeks old now. Like any kittens their age, Chowder and Gumbo are learning the ropes of house manners. They have frequent zoomies, love to climb, and will occasionally jump or scratch on surfaces they shouldn't. They require patient adopters who will work with them on their manners and gently redirect them with a fun toy or scratch post! PLEASE NOTE: The kittens will not be ready for adoption until the weekend of April 1st. Their vetting is scheduled for Thursday, 3/31. They are available to meet now and we will accept a signed adoption contract $50 deposit (removed from the total fee) to hold them for their new family.
