About Velvet

Meet Tilly & Velvet! These lovely 2.5-month-old sisters are on the lookout for a patient family to help them come out of their shells. Tilly is the dilute calico with soft gray, peach, and white patches, while Velvet is her stunning tortoiseshell sister. Both girls are a bit shy and skittish as they learn to blossom around people. They require gentle interaction, time, and plenty of play to develop trust. Their ideal adopters will understand the need for a slow introduction, celebrating every little victory along the way. Tilly and Velvet are a bonded pair, so finding them a home together is our hope. However, we can also consider separate adoptions if there's another feline friend already in the household. With a nurturing environment, patience, and love, these sisters will eventually reveal their unique personalities. Could you be the family they’re waiting for?
