Hello all, my names Malibu and this is my sister Schnapps, we were captured as kittens with our other sibling and mum back in January in the cold winter. We were found scarpering about near the main road that goes through a village next to the pub, when a lady seen us she was so scared we were going to be hurt so she made a post to Facebook where mummy Zoe saw and less then 24 hours later we were safely brought to The Ark.
We are all very nervous cats. I think growing up with mummy being scared its taught us to fear the world and breaking out of this is something we are showing capability of but haven't exactly mastered yet. We are two of the more confident ones and believe our sibling would be better off staying with mum and we will be ok as we have each other.
I tend to run and hide a lot however if you manage to corner me and stroke me I do eventually realise that it isn't too bad and I accept being touched, however my sister Schnapps is more feisty and can throw a hiss and spit in there, again once she's over that she's then okish at being touched. I know this all seems off putting and I truly hope it isn't but mummy Zoe says in order to get the purrrfect home for us we have to be honest about ourselves.
We were born and grew up on the streets, survival mode is all we know. We are better at trusting and come out a lot more (especially for food and treaties) we just still like to protect ourselves when we are unsure, please understand we aren't bad, just misunderstood. Hopefully your someone who likes a bit of spice in your life.
The type of home that would best suit us would be a quite one, people who have had experience with temperamental cats and can understand us and work with us to help us continue to grow and blossom. No children under 16, no dogs however other cats are fine as we love cuddling into our friends at the rescue. If you feel you can give us what we are looking for then please just scroll down and click the adoption option below in the quick links now to give us that chance. Thank you in advance.
