Truly and Shiloh

This week’s posts are about the Winnie’s Wishers who are black or black-&-white.  Monday highlighted Maverick.  Yesterday it was Hershey Bear’s turn.  Today the attention is on Truly and Shiloh.  You might remember their story.  There were three “kittens” in a remote area quite a long way from my home.  We were eventually able to trap all three - Truly, Shiloh, and Autumn (a calico who was highlighted last week). 

Truly is a tuxedo, and Shiloh is black-&-white.  Truly was the most easily tamed when we took in this group.  Autumn was next.  When we finally trapped Shiloh, I immediately discovered that he had a badly broken leg.  He received the care he needed, and a chip-in on this blog filled to overflowing thanks to the loving hearts of some readers of this blog.

I went to work taming the group that was residing in my home at the time - Autumn, Truly, Shiloh, Sallie, and Hershey Bear.  Truly was always the most tame.  Shiloh was consistently the least tame.  He also constantly stuck like glue to either Autumn or Truly.  These were his family members, and he clearly needed them for security.  When the group finally moved to the cathouse, Autumn busied herself with exploration and toys (she really enjoys toys).  Truly adapted immediately and also went about the business of making herself at home.  But whereas Autumn didn’t coddle Shiloh as much anymore, Truly did not leave him behind.  Shiloh still prefers to be in sister Truly’s company.  And she allows it - even seems to welcome it.

In the cathouse

You probably know where I’m going next.  It would be wonderful if someone would adopt Truly and Shiloh together.  It would be sort of like Sunshine and Juice.  Sunshine was SO tame with me; Juice was continuously fearful.  This pair - Truly and Shiloh - are NOT the extreme case that Sunshine and Juice were.  In fact, Shiloh joins me on the couch when I sit in the cathouse.  But he definitely takes his comfort from having Truly somewhere around.  He will take comfort from some of the other cathouse kitties, too.

Shiloh NOT with Truly but sandwiched in between Autumn and Maverick.

 

Truly is one of the most delightful personalities in the cathouse at the moment.  She is friendly.  She comes TO ME for affection (and purrs loudly when she receives it).  She plays with toys and she plays with the other cathouse kitties.  As I said of Maverick, Truly is an all-around well-adjusted little personality.  I will not hold her back from her very own forever home if someone is interested in adopting her as a single.  And who knows?  Maybe Shiloh would come around nicely in the right home himself.  But I DO believe that if Shiloh could go with Truly into a home, she would be his security and he might come around more quickly.  Truly and Shiloh (like family member Autumn) are some of the tiniest cats I’ve ever seen.  So think about it, friends - Truly and Shiloh together would hardly take up any more space than just one normal-sized cat.  (smile)  Anyway, here they are, separately and together, in all of their cuteness.

He actually chased a toy under there. Good for him.

Friends - Please help me find the perfect home for these two sweethearts.  And tune in tomorrow for an introduction.

Awwww! Look how well Shiloh is doing after his leg healed! What a little darling! What a pair of little darlings!
Boy do I know about tiny kitties! Star was a two year old mommy cat and I thought she was one of the 'free kittens'! There's a lot of oomph in tiny packages! And these two are filled up with CUTE!

Won't you please consider taking this pair? Won't you share and tweet and tell everyone about these kitties? Won't you help find a home for them?

By the way! See Shiloh walking and playing? That's because of YOU! Everyone who helped and prayed and purred and donated and cared! So give yourselves a big round of applause and a big ol' self hug!

I feel so happy when I see Truly and Shiloe playing together. You can feel that you saved two little souls worth love and affection. Keep up the good work and all of us out here will concentrate on getting good vibes out there for adoptions for the two together or even three would be great. Chrystal took her time and money to keep going back way up in the country to try to nab this lost little family. She got them and brought them home and doctored them all and has gotten them to a stage where they can go to new forever loving homes. Lets shout out for Chrystal....God bless this good friend of the furries.... Ginny & The fur Family
