“We’ll be friends forever, won’t we, Pooh?’ asked Piglet. Even longer,’ Pooh answered.” Why Hello! We are Fawkes (Gray and white 5 year old male) and Maple (Tabico (.5 month female). We are a bond BEST FRIENDS duo! Our foster Mom sometimes says we remind her of Winnie the Pooh (Fawkes) and Piglet (Maple). Behind our adorable faces is a story of resilience and love. We both came to kitty connection as strays at different times. We ended up getting adopted but sadly had to come back to kitty connection due to extenuating circumstances. Although we were sad to lose our home we met each other in that home and fell in love. We are now on our next journey TOGETHER. When I Fawkes first came to Kitty Connection I had a terrible eye injury. I was able to get the treatment I needed and had my eye removed. I recently also had to have several teeth removed which Kitty Connection is helping me with as well. I am happy to have that behind me! I am feeling better and am not afraid to show it! I am a sweet ball of joy, gentle , sweet and loving. I like to snuggle with my best friend Maple and my foster parents. I love my Maple very much and protect her and make her feel at ease. Maple can be anxious at times and I am there to make her feel calm and safe. I, Maple, was born outside. A nice lady came to help me, but was told I wasn’t friendly enough to adjust to living inside. She didn’t want to give up on me and brought me to Kitty Connection. It was hard for me to adjust at first, but I am learning how nice these humans can be. As they have extended their hand to me I am learning to extend my paw back! My foster parents are patient with me, and understand it takes time for me to trust. The key to my heart is play time! I love playing with my foster Dad. The wand toy is my favorite. I love to play with Fawkes and cuddle as well! Play time here we come! Zoomies?? I GOT THAT. Because I am still learning to fully trust humans, it's important for my forever parents to understand I am shy and anxious at times. My best friend Fawkes helps me feel safe, secure, and gives me the confidence to be more brave on this journey that I am on. Always reminding me that I am never alone and I always have my Fawkes by my side. We are looking for a quiet home where our forever parents understand our journey! Forever parents who understand it will take some patience with Maple and give Maple and Fawkes all the TLC they need. Are you ready to go on this special journey with us? We can’t wait to find you.
