About Trick

Meet Trick, the outgoing half of a dynamic duo with his brother Treat. These bonded black kittens are packed with personality and energy. Trick is the smaller, athletic brother, always keen for affection. He loves to be held and will melt into your arms while purring loudly, demanding all the attention he can get. If Treat ever seems to get too much of your love, Trick will be right there to join in. On the other hand, Treat, the bigger brother, takes his time to adjust to new experiences. He may retreat initially but has made remarkable progress. Although he enjoys laps and being petted, he’s still learning about being held comfortably. The two of them are playful, often racing around together, chasing toys like fleece wands and balls. They even share everything: meals, naps, and playtime. Wherever you see Trick, Treat won't be far behind. Adopting these two together means double the fun and companionship. They are available for pre-adoption and need an indoor-only home for their safety. Their adoption fee is reduced by $20 thanks to the Bogey Fund, aimed at helping overlooked black cats find loving homes. They're ready for you to come meet them. Start your journey with Trick and Treat today!
