Kittens available for adoption.

• Piglet and Winnie

Approx 7 Months

These two are bonded sisters, though they look identically, Piglet is a bit more timid amd she has a black mark on her forehead.

Although they are both timid, they do like to cuddle once they've warmed up to you, they'll need to go to a home with teen kids (no younger kids) and no pets, a quiet home with one or two people would be ideal.

They've made amazing progress and are really starting to enjoy cuddling but Piglet will hiss if she's approached not on her terms, apart from that they are both confident and independent girls.

They must go to a home together!
These girls have been mucked around, so serious inquiries only.

Adoption cost is $210 each.
Vaccinanated, desexed and microchipped.
