Two Is Better Than One

When Scruff and Scuttle came to PAWS, they were a little under 2 months old and still nursing. A lot happened in their first few weeks here—after testing positive for feline leukemia, they were quarantined, treated, weaned, vaccinated, and neutered. Phew! Still too small for adoption, Scruff and Scuttle were moved to a foster home where they enjoyed Merrick kitten food to help them grow.

“Scuttle and Scruff are bonded and they are two mischievous kitties! They like belly and chin rubs, and will just try to crawl into my lap and cuddle whenever I’m sitting on the sofa. They also really enjoy riding on my robot vacuum cleaner and take turns sitting on it for a decent thirty minutes or more chilling. It really made my day when I looked up from my laptop and first saw Scuttle just drifting,” said foster mom Chloe Tsai.

At the end of July, Scruff and Scuttle were finally adopted together and we couldn’t be happier. Fingers crossed their new family has a vacuum to ride!

Special thanks to our partner Merrick Pet Care for helping Scruff and Scuttle get the nutrition they need and for helping so many more homeless pets through food donations.
