About Burly

This could be the start of something paw-some. Burly is a darling boy who is incredibly fun, playful, and loving toward his people. He truly enjoys being petted and spending time with you. This handsome fellow comes as a package deal, only available for adoption with his closely bonded brother, Figaro. Watching these two snuggle and nap side by side is utterly adorable. Burly requires a special urinary diet, but even during his past urinary infection and crystals, he consistently used the litter box and never once went outside of it. Both boys simply need to be fed in separate rooms, which is easily managed as they quickly finish their meals. They have proven to be adaptable and settle into new environments well, making them excellent additions to a loving family. While their compatibility with other cats or dogs is uncertain, their companionship with each other is sure to warm your heart. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
