Story
We need to find a wonderful new home for our two beloved kitties. They are both incredibly sweet, well-mannered, and have been a part of our family for 8 years. Both were adopted as kittens. We are looking for responsible, loving individuals or families who will cherish them as much as we do. We prefer them to go to a home with no other cats/dogs since they have only been with each other and want them to have as similar of a life as possible. Meet Minnie: 8 y/o female tabby, very playful, loves petting, cuddling and lounging on your back. She loves small mouse toys and chasing your hand under the blanket. Meet Buddy: 8 y/o, Chartreux, shy at first, but warms up eventually. He appreciates attention, but is also content on his own. He loves food, toys he can kick, and laser pointers. Both healthy, used to free feeding dry food and split one wet can of food/ in the afternoon. Both neutered and spayed. We would love to find a home that can take them together.

Chartreux fun facts

Fun Facts:

One legend of this breed's origins is that it was bred at the Grande Chartreuse Monastery, and they selectively bred them for quiet, monastery-appropriate voices.

The Chartreux were street cats for centuries, prized for their rat-catching acumen -- a skill that persists in the breed today.

The development of the Chartreux began in earnest in France in the 1930s, when a pair of sisters became taken with the breed and began showing them around Paris. They weren't brought to the United States until the 1970s.
