The pets of the week this week are Petal and Kiwi! They’ve developed quite the friendship while here at the shelter, so I thought it’d be nice to have them both be the pets of the week

Petal is a one- to three-year-old female. “Hello there, my name is Petal. I’m a polite lady however I’m still acclimating to life with humans and making lots of progress accepting love and affection! While I’m timid when it comes to people, I do get on well with the other cat social cats here. I get along well with Kiwi especially, we have quite the special bond!”

Kiwi, one year old, male. “Hello! I’m Kiwi. I’m a very good boy and I love to play! Feather toys and laser pointers are the best things! I’m still pretty people shy, but I can overcome my shyness if you have a cool enough toy. I love other cats and would either need to go home with another cat or go to a home with other cat social cats. Me and Petal have become quite good friends!”
