Description Vlad (bonded To Edwin)
Vlad & Edwin
We are 5-year-old twin brothers with black-and-white coats. Vlad has more white on his face and weighs more than Edwin. We have always lived together. We depend on each other to feel confident and comfortable. Our first owner surrendered us to the HSHC in March 2024. We were adopted in April 2024. Our latest owner loved us very much. She only had to surrender us back to HSHC because she lost her home. She reported that we do great with scratching posts. We can be held in any position. We coexisted with the dog but did not play or interact much with it. We were very comfortable with the kids. We would play with them and let them hold and pet us. Our favorite snack is Temptation cat treats! We both enjoy a little catnip, though it tends to wind us up. We are handsome, friendly, and eager to meet you. Edwin says he is the more outgoing one because he was the first to greet the interviewer lady (IL). But yesterday, Vlad wanted to visit her too. He flopped over and asked for pets and ear rubs. Today, Edwin was the social butterfly, seeking her attention. He allowed her to pet him all over his body. At the same time, Vlad stayed in his Kitty Kasa. In summary, depending on our mood, we seem to take turns being the life of the party! We are excited about the prospect of a new life with a new person or family. As for our names, we do not know why these were chosen for us. Please feel free to change them. 3-31-26

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?

You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
