Marvin and Aretha Domestic Short Hair Weehawken, NJ

Life has been a series of ups and downs for this beautiful pair.

Marvin and Aretha started life in a backyard with 3 littermates. Fortunately some kind people brought them and their mom inside. They were quickly scooped up by an adopter but the family’s busy home life and resident dog did not agree with their quiet nature, so they returned to their first foster home.

When they're in foster homes without dogs, they are model housemates. Aretha is more curious than her brother, and is the first to explore new situations. Marvin quickly follows her lead, but then he likes to take over and get your attention.

Marvin is a champion lap kitty, and he enjoys spending time sitting with you. Sometimes he's so eager that he can't wait for you to be settled before he climbs into your lap to enjoy head scratches and pets.

Aretha takes time to warm up to people, but she loves affection. She wants to be near you on the sofa, but is a bit shy. Initially, she may sit a few feet away, and wait for you to approach and pet her. Over time, she plops down next to you, shows you her belly for some gentle pets, and, at times, tries to share lap space with Marvin.

Both kitties enjoy playing with toys – especially feather wands. Marvin and Aretha have been the only constant in each other’s lives so they must be adopted together.

Both are altered, FIV/FeLV negative, up-to-date on shots, and microchipped.
