About Penny & Marge

Your new best friend is just one click away. Penny and Marge are a beautiful young pair of kitties who share a very special bond. You'll often spot them snuggled up together or chasing toys through the room — playful, curious, and always an absolute delight to watch! These lovely girls are still learning that humans can be trusted. Naturally timid, they prefer keeping a safe distance and are not quite comfortable being picked up or handled just yet. Occasionally, on their own terms, they’ll accept gentle pets — and when they do, it feels like such a heartwarming little victory. With patience, calm routines, and a peaceful home, you’ll see them flourish at their own pace. Because of their shy natures, a home without children or dogs will suit them best. Penny and Marge are wonderfully cat-friendly and would thrive living with another easygoing, playful feline companion who can help boost their confidence. They are incredibly sweet and visually stunning, hoping for a compassionate adopter who understands pet love sometimes takes time to blossom. If you have a soft spot for shy kitties and want to provide two bonded beauties with a safe, forever home, these two would love to share their world with you! Their adoption fee is $150 and includes spay, microchip, current vaccinations, and FeLV/FIV testing. They require an indoor-only home. Last Hope asks adopters to have a record of keeping prior pets indoors, altered, and up to date on vet care. The adoption process will include a background check, vet history check, and a home visit. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
