About Sherlock & Sassy-Pants - 6 Month Old DMH
Introducing Sherlock and Sassy-Pants, a pair of cheeky rascal 6 month old male kittens. They are affectionate and very entertaining little purr machines who love to snuggle you at night. Don’t let these precious little angel faces fool you though as these sweet boys are adventurous, sassy and they love to play rough too!
Sherlock has white on his face and gorgeous swirls in his long tabby coat - he’s a bit more chilled-out than his brother. Sassy has a white lightning strike on his nose - he loves to be wherever you are (sitting on your lap during bathroom visits is his specialty!) and was named due to his sassy nature - this boy has a spark and is full of adventure !
The boys are 6 months old and due to them loving to sleep and play together (albeit rough at times!) they must stay together. Adopting a bonded pair of kittens is double the fun, cuteness, cuddles and also double-trouble ! These boys are guaranteed to steal your heart and give you a lot of laughs every day 💖
Sherlock and Sassy-Pants were only 7 weeks old when they were rescued in very poor condition. They have been in foster care since then and are now ready for adoption - their coats have grown back beautifully soft and feel like satin. It’s taken time to settle their sensitive tummies - they receive daily probiotics in their breakfast and only eat premium food. They may grown out of their sensitive tummies, or they may need to stay on premium food long term.
In foster care they have socialised with 2 adult cats and 2 small calm dogs - initially they were scared of them but now they are confident. They adore their foster mum and are quite good meeting human visitors.
Their favourite toys are little fluffy ones, balls, shoelaces or anything interactive including chewing your fingers - they are into anything and everything ! They love speeding through the house like it’s a race-way, playing in cardboard boxes and cupboards, and they are experts at counter-surfing on any table or counter they can get up on so they can play with water in the sink. These little rascals will keep you on your toes.
Sherlock and Sassy-Pants are litter and scratching post trained and are only available to indoor-only homes. Due to their rough start they need premium food, a safe and stable home (no young children or noisy/fast dogs please) who understand that they may take a little while to settle in.
The adoption fee is $450 which includes desexing when they are old enough. They have been vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, and microchipped.
They are in foster care in the Gosford, NSW area. Since not yet desexed, they are only available for adoption to the Lower Hunter region (Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock) plus Central Coast and Sydney.
