About Mossy rsta015419 & Clover rsta015418
Meet Mossy and Clover, a stunning brother and sister duo with silky charcoal coats, beautiful green eyes and faces that will melt your heart. But finding the right forever home for these two isn't about their gorgeous looks; it's about finding someone who truly understands their personalities. Mossy and Clover came to us from a colony, where life was about survival and trusting humans simply wasn't part of their world. Since moving into foster care, they have slowly started to discover that people can bring kindness, comfort and, most importantly, delicious treats! They are still very much a work in progress and need someone who understands that building trust takes time, patience and plenty of love.
Mossy is the cheeky brother with a healthy appetite and absolutely no shame when it comes to stealing his sister's dinner! Don't let his permanently grumpy-looking face fool you; underneath that serious expression is a sweetheart waiting to blossom. Clover is the more polite of the pair, usually happy to let her brother have his way, unless creamy tube treats are involved! Then all manners go out the window as she makes sure she gets her fair share. Both are very food motivated, and tasty treats will be a wonderful way to slowly win their hearts.
These gorgeous siblings are still easily startled by sudden noises and unfamiliar situations, although their foster carers have seen encouraging improvements in their confidence. Clover particularly appreciates having a safe little hideaway where she can retreat when the world feels overwhelming. Despite being offered lovely plush beds, these two prefer snuggling up together in their carrier, finding comfort and security in each other's company. Mossy and Clover share a very special bond and must be adopted together, as having each other makes navigating the world that little bit less frightening.
Mossy and Clover need a very special, experienced and cat-savvy person who understands that progress may be measured in tiny steps rather than big leaps. Their ideal home will be quiet, calm and predictable, without children or dogs, where they can settle at their own pace without pressure or expectations. They may never become traditional cuddly lap cats, but with patience, gentle encouragement and unconditional love, their confidence may continue to grow. These beautiful siblings aren't looking for someone to change who they are; they're looking for someone who will love them just as they are while giving them every opportunity to blossom. If you have the patience and kindness to earn the trust of two very special souls, Mossy and Clover could be the most rewarding companions imaginable.

If you are wishing to adopt a cat as a present for someone, bring them with you as cats are individuals and bond with different people in different ways, the cat you may choose, may not choose your friend! It is also important to allocate time for adoption and we recommend you allow at least a couple of hours to get to know the cat and do the necessary paperwork.
