Arlo & Coco

🐾 Meet Arlo 🧡

Arlo is a 5-year-old gentle giant who may start off a bit shy, but once he feels at home, he’ll show you just how loving and loyal he can be.

At first, Arlo is the quiet observer—he likes to take his time and settle into his new environment. He might hide for a few days while he gets to know you, but once he's comfortable, he’ll follow you from room to room, always nearby, always watching you with those sweet, loving eyes. 🥺

This guy is not the type to demand attention, but when he’s feeling safe, he’ll gently nudge his way into your space, and you’ll be treated to one of his adorable stares as he watches you lovingly. He’s definitely the kind of cat who enjoys being near you, whether you’re sitting down for a quiet moment or moving around the house. And when it’s grooming time, Arlo is here for it—he’ll happily sit by your side and let you brush his gorgeous, fluffy fur. This might need to be a regular routine, as he’s got a luxurious coat that appreciates some TLC!

Arlo’s bestie, Coco, is his constant companion. Whenever he’s feeling a little unsure, Coco is there to offer a comforting nudge or lick. These two are inseparable—Coco’s playful nature helps Arlo feel safe, and Arlo’s relaxed presence balances out Coco’s energy. When Arlo is fully relaxed, he enjoys playtime, especially stalking Coco, stealing toys, or even trying to sneak a bite of her food when she’s not paying attention! 😂

Arlo loves the quiet moments—his ideal spot is basking in a sunny window, just enjoying the warmth of the day. He’s not easily spooked but does get a little wary of things like the vacuum and fast movements. But with time, he’s very adaptable and content just being in your presence.

Churu treats are a big win for this guy—he’s a total foodie and can’t resist those yummy snacks! And once he’s relaxed, he might even curl up in your lap, letting you pet him and enjoy some quality cuddle time.

🏡 Arlo’s Ideal Home

Arlo would do best with a patient owner who understands that it may take a little time for him to warm up. He’s not the type to rush into things but once he’s settled, he’ll want to be by your side, following you around and just soaking up all the love and attention you have to give. He’s the kind of companion who’ll bring a sense of calm to your home, always by your side but never demanding.

He would not be suited to a solo home—he definitely needs the presence of another cat, especially someone like his buddy Coco, who helps him feel safe. If you have another cat who’s a little more outgoing or confident, they’d be a great match for Arlo.

If you’re looking for a sweet, laid-back cat who just needs a little patience to show his true affection, Arlo is the perfect fit for you 🧡🐾✨

🐾 Meet Coco 🤍✨

Coco is a 5-year-old fluffy queen with a playful spirit, a curious mind, and a whole lot of charm wrapped up in that glorious floof 🥹

At first, Coco might seem a little shy—but it doesn’t take long for her true personality to shine through. Once she feels comfortable, she transforms into a confident, curious, and delightfully playful girl who’s always ready to explore, chase, and entertain herself (and you).

She’s the kind of cat who wants to know everything happening in her environment. Coco will happily scale tall spots in the room first, survey her kingdom like royalty 👑, and then come down to join in the fun once she’s satisfied she’s seen it all.

Toys are one of her favourite things in the world—especially felt balls, springs, feathers, and anything she can chase or bat around. She also absolutely loves silvervine sticks, happily rubbing her face all over them like they’re the best invention ever 😭

Despite her independent streak, Coco is still affectionate and enjoys being near her humans once she’s settled. She’s not overly clingy, but she loves being part of the space you’re in, especially after she’s finished her rounds of exploration.

When she needs downtime, Coco likes to retreat somewhere cozy and safe—often tucked under or behind something soft where she can relax in peace.

She is also very food-motivated and a big fan of Churu treats, which is a great way to win her heart 💕

Coco shares a special bond with Arlo, and the two complement each other beautifully. She brings confidence and playful energy, while also helping Arlo feel more secure and settled. They truly shine together.

🏡 Coco’s Ideal Home

Coco would thrive in a loving home where she can continue to explore, play, and feel safe at her own pace.

She would do best with:

Her bonded companion Arlo (they are happiest together)
A home that enjoys playful, curious cats
Plenty of enrichment, toys, and climbing spaces
Gentle affection on her terms

She is not suited to a solo cat home, as she is strongly bonded to Arlo.

If you’re looking for a fluffy little adventurer who will climb high, play hard, and then quietly settle near you once she’s done ruling her world—Coco is your girl 🤍🐾✨
