About Bailey

Bailey and Rascal started life on the skittish side, but after months of steady care, these two have turned a corner and are now hunting for a place that feels like home. At one year old, they're a classic bonded pair: Rascal brings a wild streak and cheeky energy, while Bailey likes quieter moments and often just wants a good cuddle. They tag-team playtime but balance each other out—Rascal’s all about adventure, Bailey keeps it mellow. They need to be adopted together, and you'll want to skip this pair if you have other pets. Rascal especially is happiest without other animals in the house. Neither cat has lived with children, so that's worth considering for your situation. Health-wise, both boys are neutered, fully vaccinated, FeLV/FIV negative, and ready to go. Give them some patience and space at first, and you’ll end up with two cats who are affectionate, clever, and full of character. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
