TNT Cats — Tiger n'Tansy

The Feline Rescue folks gave Tiger & Tansy a great write-up on their blog.  Click HERE to see their post.  Feline Rescue posts updates on successful adoptions of cats and kittens, and news items about their work.

After one day and night, we decided to exchange Fuzzy for Java’s sister Molly.  Fuzzy was just not happy.  He hissed and prowled and looked very uncomfortable.  We really wanted cats that would get along with each other, and would be comfortable riding in the car.  Fuzzy wasn’t doing either.

It took Tansy about 2 minutes to get comfortable.

Today, after weeks of thinking about it, we brought home two kittens.  We got them from Feline Rescue, a Saint Paul cat shelter where the kids and I volunteered many years ago.

These will be indoor only cats.  I’m a firm believer in keeping cats inside.

We got two boys, Java and Fuzzy.  Java is a tabby, about 3 months old, Fuzzy is gray with longer hair, and is a few months older.
