Meirou and Amaya
MEIROU and AMAYA are 7 month old ORIENTAL LONGHAIR sisters. Meirou is blue with green eyes, and Amaya is a Chocolate Tortoiseshell with green eyes. Meirou’s fur is all a light steel gray, and Amaya’s fur is a blend of cream, orange and light/dark brown. They’re beautiful girls who sport fancy long, floofy tails, soft fur, have long, lanky Oriental bodies, and Meirou is a little cross-eyed. So endearing! Both girls have had rabies and distemper vaccines, microchip, dewormed, tested FIV/FELV negative, spayed, and have their claws.
These two girls came into SPCR very undersocialized, especially Meirou. Because of their past and being Orientals, who have sensitive natures, strange noises and new people scare them. But on the flipside, these girls are utterly delightful! They love playing with wand toys, lasers, da rat, springs, small balls, zooming thru crinkly tunnels/donuts, chasing/running around the house, and racing up and down cat trees. They love spending time in the enclosed catio, napping in cat trees, looking out the window or following you around to see what you’re up to. They’re always hanging out close by. Orientals are curious and athletic by nature, so everything needs investigating, nothing is too high or out of reach. They sleep on the fosterparent’s bed at night, cuddling close to our legs. Amaya lays on people’s laps, Meirou close by. They didn’t like it when our hand went in front of their face, because of past scruffing, but that fear is slowly fading away. They both love petting and shoulder rubs, and we can pick up and hold both of them. They are busy girls, love to help with chores, and be involved. Neither girl is exceptionally talkative, but do like to have conversations once in a awhile, especially Amaya. They are usually always together.
Fostercats get to a point where you know it’s time for them to find their forever home and settle in. The girls are at that point. Yes, they’ll be scared, and yes they’ll do terrible when their adoptive family comes to meet them, but Orientals are a sensitive breed. They wrote the book on not liking change.
It will be important in their forever home to have someone that is home most of the day, and maybe have a cat, whether male or female, that has a mothering, easy going nature, BUT they would be fine as the only two in the house also. They came from a large cat home, so when they first came here, they only knew large numbers and took comfort in older, easy going cats. They’re older now, and are used to a lot less numbers, and are okay with just the two of them.
No families with children under the age of 14 yrs old or with dogs will be considered. A quiet home is best for them. Anyone applying will have to have experience with Oriental/Siamese or Aby breeds, and the girls are listed as special needs, because the adopter will have to realize that these two girls will be scared and require extra time to get used to new surroundings and new people.
ADOPTION FEE (for the pair) $500. FOSTERED IN CAMPBELLSPORT, WI
