My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Melvin and Payton are a bonded pair with personalities that complement each other perfectly. Melvin, a chonky tuxedo with green eyes and a face like a medieval painting, is confident and social, always ready to explore. Payton, a long and skinny grey tabby with an incredibly soft coat, is more reserved but deeply affectionate once he feels comfortable. Melvin takes the lead in new situations, while Payton follows his cues, making them a great duo for a home that wants both an outgoing cat and a sweet, cuddly companion.

Both love to play but in different ways. Melvin is energetic and curious, always climbing and batting at his roller ball track. Payton prefers crinkle toys and hair ties, getting playful but never too wild. Melvin is the thinker of the pair, always figuring things out, while Payton thrives on affection. Both are food-motivated, making it easy to earn their trust.

When it’s time to relax, they curl up together at the foot of the bed or on the couch. Payton loves being carried and cuddled, while Melvin prefers to keep all four paws on the ground but enjoys a good brushing. Both meow for attention, with Payton being especially chatty when he wants pets or food.

They’ve done well with other cats and gentle older kids, making them a great fit for a multi-cat household or a family with considerate children. Melvin is social with new people, while Payton takes a little more time but warms up once he sees Melvin feeling safe. They aren’t fans of dogs, so they’d be happiest in a home without them. Melvin and Payton would thrive in a home where they can stay together, bringing the perfect mix of playfulness and affection. If you’re looking for a well-balanced pair, these two are ready to make your home complete.
