Bella and Sterling are a bonded pair of 13-year old Persian cats. They are front-paw declawed. Their mom sadly passed away in December, and they are now looking for a wonderful foster or adoptive home to help them live out their Golden Years. They recently had a vet appointment and are a healthy pair. Do you have room in your heart and home?
The are a bonded pair and by each other's side a lot so they must go together. They grew up with small dogs around. None of the dogs were aggressive to them, so they do ok with smaller dogs that could care less about cats. Bella used to play together with a pomeranian mix. Their human sister moved in with her two cats several months ago. These cats have been living along side her 2 cats the last few months, but her cats do not get along with them. Thus, Bella and Sterling's introduction to other cats has been a rough start. They were curious and friendly with these cats until the others started harassing them. If they go to a home with other cats, care must be taken to ensure a slow and successful introduction.
Bella is a sweetheart. She tends to keep more to herself and sleeps a lot. She is a purring machine and the second you start petting or holding her she purrs away. She loves being petted. She isn't a lap cat and typically won't approach you for attention but she tolerates being held and will purr the whole time. Lately, she has been joining Sterling in the morning to say good morning to her human. She also enjoys getting attention from her nine-year old human sibling! Bella is more active at night and has a spunky side to her when she feels comfortable. She still loves playing with string-type toys.
Notice Bella in her coat and lion cut in two of the pictures. She can get mats, so got a fancy trim! But it is still cold, and the coat helps her stay warm. What a cutie!!
Bella and Sterling are listed as a courtesy as we help their mom's family find a loving second home for them to live out the rest of their lives. We ask that you please fill out a non-binding adoption application on our website: purrfectmatch.rescuegroups.org/forms. Once we receive the application, we will forward it to the family. Thank you for choosing to adopt!
