You definitely can call a boy kitty beautiful, and Kerouac makes the case. He’s shy and very sweet, quietly asking for affection and happy to be brushed—especially with all that thick, lustrous fur. Give him a good scratch along his spine, and he’ll show you his legendary elevator butt. Kerouac may look perpetually grumpy, but don’t buy it for a second; he’s just got a misleading expression. What he lacks in bravado, he makes up for in gentle presence. Kerouac relies on his best buddy Phoenix for backup, and the two bring out the best in each other’s cautious personalities. They’re content together and warm up to people who show them patience and care. Kerouac eats a special diet and takes medication to keep his GI system stable, which keeps his spirits up. He really needs a calm, understanding home—no dogs or small kids—and must be adopted with Phoenix. If you’re looking for a bonded pair of timid but loving cats who just need a gentle start, these two are waiting. Adopt both Kerouac and Phoenix, and you’ll get a duo with character.
