About Sunset Mouse

Mouse & Sunset are an inseparable pair ready to join a home that values both youthful play and laid-back cuddles. Mouse, at one year old, brings the lively kitten spark—chasing after toys, patrolling for birds and squirrels from sunny windows, and zooming around with boundless energy. He’s also deeply affectionate, thriving when he’s close to his people, especially someone who spends time working from home. Sunset, at five, balances things out with a relaxed, gentle presence. He favors naps in cozy spaces and adores attention and scratches, but he’s still playful, springing into bursts of activity and wrestling games with Mouse. The pair interact well with other cats, having shared space peacefully in their foster home. Mouse and Sunset’s combo works well for households seeking both activity and a calm vibe—just be sure to provide interactive toys and vertical spots like cat trees to keep them engaged. Sunset sports a small scar near his left eye, fully healed and not affecting his vision, and he’s making steady progress towards a healthy weight. Both are FIV positive, but this doesn’t stop them from living normal, healthy lives or from sharing a home with FIV negative cats in stable groups. These bonded boys are eager to add warmth and fun to their next chapter. Ready to make space for both energy and comfort? Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
