Wiley and Willow are two loving, absolutely adorable brothers. It's hard to believe, but they were someone's pets at one time. Apparently they were dumped outside, but they were lucky enough to find a wonderful woman who feeds the local stray cats. She quickly realized that these sweet boys, who came up and rubbed against her legs, were in urgent need of rescue and a new home!

These are two sweet, gentle cats. They love to cuddle with you, especially in bed of course. They are playful and like to romp and wrestle with each other on occasion, but other times are just laid back. They get along with the other cats in their foster home, and love to play and romp with them. They both have wonderfully sleek, shiny black fur. The shape of their heads makes us think they have some Siamese in their background. Wiley is sometimes talkative, but has an odd vocabulary of squeaks when he wants attention and YOWs when he's feeling playful. Willow prefers to curl up with you and let actions speak louder than meows.

Time to wrestle!!!

The vet estimates their age at 2 to 3 years old, and both were neutered in the past. We of course have gotten them tested and vaccinated as well.

Wiley is the leader, but not an alpha cat at all. He is completely black and a little smaller than his brother. He loves to jump right into my arms to cuddle. He has a huge purr and likes to get a tummy rub and a head scratch. He doesn't mind being turned upside down and having his tummy rubbed, or being carried around the house. He's quite curious and likes to explore. When he's in the mood to play, he makes high pitched kitten-like squeaks and YOWs, and you know he's ready to romp or wrestle with his brother.

Willow is a little shier, but quickly comes around especially if there are tummy rubs to be gotten. He loves to jump up and flop over for belly rubs and get his rump scratched. He also has a big purr. He has a touch of white on his chest and on his tummy. He is especially fond of food and so is a bit bigger than his brother. He has earned the nickname "Silly Willy" because he loves being petted and scratched so much, he squirms around and falls off his perch. No matter, he jumps right up again for more.

If you can get both of them into your arms (that's over 20 pounds of cat), you will not only make them very happy but you will get loved and purred until you cry "uncle". They seem to be bonded and you will frequently find them curled up together. However we think they would do OK being adopted separately as well. They do fine with other nice cats and in fact seem to really enjoy having other feline friends, so a multicat household would suit them fine. They would probably do well with a nice, quiet dog also. They might find small children a bit too intimidating at first, but they are so calm and gentle that they may well do fine. Both are OK with being picked up, turned upside down, etc. once they get to know you.

If you are interested in either of these boys, please email us. If you are coming to an adoption show, let us know so we can make sure they can come to meet you!
