About Apricot & Peach

Apricot & Peach are a bonded brother-sister pair rescued from an abandoned house in Kissimmee, FL. Apricot found safety first, but Peach wasn’t far behind, bravely sticking right by his side—the two have been inseparable ever since. Peach tends to follow Apricot’s lead; they eat, play, and nap together, always seeking comfort in each other’s presence. They must be adopted as a unit. The best way to win them over is with patience, Churu treats, some tasty wet food like Fancy Feast or Sheba, plenty of toys, and a quiet room to start off. Expect some hissing as they adjust—it’s all nerves, no aggression. Start them out in a calm, small space with nowhere to hide under so they’ll feel secure enough to get acclimated. Once they’re comfortable, they’ll reward you with purrs and a gentle request for attention. They’re curious and playful like most kittens, so kitten-proofing is a must: hide cords, strings, and anything dangerous. They are indoor-only and should not be declawed. Their basics include a cozy bed, scratching posts, a litter box with wood pellets, high-protein wet food, and lots of play. The pair is looking for someone willing to be patient and loving as they settle in. Give them your time and they’ll repay you with affection and trust. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
