Squid and Marlin are bonded brothers who came from a tough start but have grown up together, leaning on each other every step of the way. Squid has a silly, quirky side, while Marlin brings the sweet and devoted energy—though both are reserved and will need time, patience, and understanding from their adopter. They’re not jump-in-your-lap types right away; expect a few months before they’re comfortable enough to show their true selves. The reward of earning their trust, though, is something special. Marlin tends to act as his brother’s shield at loud or busy events, while Squid lives with a minor scar on his left eye that doesn’t bother him. The pair really need a quiet, stable home, ideally with a couple of humans around much of the time. They feel right at home among other cats but will steer clear of dogs and probably hide from young children. Once settled, these two will win you over on their own terms.
