FOSTERED IN: Adoption Center - Frankfort, IL 60423 ESTIMATED DOB: August 2023 COLOR/BREED: Black Shorthair KIDS: Likely DOGS: Unknown CATS: Maybe HISTORY: Gordita and her family (momma Taco Bell and sisters Burrito and Chalupa) were surrendered to a shelter and then transferred to our care. ABOUT: When Gordita first came to us, she would hang back and just observe us. We started calling her “judgy” because we were not quite sure of what she thought about us! We found out that the way to her heart was through belly rubs. She LOVES them. She may take a bit to warm up, but when she does, look out. She is one sweet little panther. We did try to separate Gordita to see how she would do without her sister, Chalupa, but she did not thrive. We think she tries to not let Gordita see how much she needs her. I mean she would never hear the end of it, LOL! This is also why we are adopting them out as a bonded pair! We even have a program for bonded pairs where adopters only pay one adoption fee! Like most siblings, they are not attached at the hip every second of the day. One may be lounging in a cat tree while the other supervises bird activity from the window. But the moment something exciting, suspicious, or snack related happens, they immediately appear side by side like a tiny panther security team reporting for duty. Both girls absolutely adore people and are incredibly loving once they settle in. They enjoy attention, belly rubs, and being told how stunning they are, which honestly should happen often because they are gorgeous. They are affectionate without being demanding and have a wonderful independent streak. If you are at work or out running errands, they are perfectly content hanging out together and keeping each other company. When it comes to other cats, these sisters are a little selective. They have not been especially receptive to other female cats and seem happiest being the stars of the show. Interestingly, they do tolerate a young, confident male cat who visits their room from time to time, so there may be some flexibility with the right personality match. Still, they would likely thrive in a calmer home where they can remain the main feline focus. They are excellent eaters, use the litter box perfectly, and clearly believe interior decorating is an important nighttime hobby. The morning volunteer is often greeted by mysteriously relocated beds, scattered toys, and a room that has been “updated” overnight according to the sisters’ unique vision.
