About Twix

Meet Twix, a gentle black-and-white boy who embodies the charm of a shy kitty. He prefers to observe his surroundings from a comfortable hideaway until he feels it's safe to emerge. But don’t be fooled by his timid nature; the sound of a Temptations bag is a surefire way to coax him out. With a few rustles, Twix will peek out and approach, revealing his playful side. Once you start petting him, you’ll witness a transformation. His shoulders relax, his eyes show warmth, and that delightful purr begins. Although he’s fine being picked up, Twix is happiest with his paws firmly on the ground, especially when he’s playing with his sibling. Initially a bit possessive about food, he has learned to share thanks to separate bowls. Twix needs a patient and kind home where he can acclimate at his own pace. He may not be the first one to greet you, but his journey to trust is what makes him special. Once you win his heart, he’ll reward you with the sweetest companionship. Ready to fall in love?
