About Zippy and Dippy

Meet Zippy and Dippy, two charming bonded brothers also known as Mothers Milk and Butch! These delightful cats came to us as kittens in May 2025, but life took an unexpected turn when they were returned to our care a year later due to their dad's travel commitments. It’s heartbreaking for us to see them back, but they’re currently in a loving foster home, ready to find a new family who understands the commitment that comes with adopting pets. They deserve a forever home that will cherish them for their lifetime. Zippy and Dippy are friendly, playful, and very affectionate. Both boys are neutered, up-to-date on their vaccinations, and FIV/FeLV negative. Transport can be arranged for interested families in the NYC, NJ, and Long Island areas. Remember, these kittens are available in pairs only or to homes with another cat or a cat-friendly dog. Let’s find them a loving home that won’t let them down again! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
