Hi, we’re Merlot (female, black) and Shiraz (male, black)!

We’re a bonded pair, so we must be adopted together 

Two tiny house panthers with expensive names and very important schedules. Professional snack inspectors, expert nappers, and firm believers that every sunny spot and cozy blanket belongs to them. Sweet, curious, and always ready to make themselves at home. Great additions to any kitten-appropriate homes!

A note from my foster:

Merlot is full of kitten energy and endless curiosity! She loves exploring her surroundings and is always finding new ways to play and entertain herself. As the ringleader of the duo, she’s constantly encouraging her brother to join her adventures, which often turn into games of chase and playful wrestling matches. She isn’t shy and warms up quickly to young children, making her a wonderful little playmate. And when playtime is over, she’s more than happy to curl up on your lap for cuddles.

Shiraz is a very friendly and affectionate boy who loves being carried like a baby, draped around your shoulders, or even perched on top of your hat! For him, there are no limits when it comes to giving love. That extends to his sister too, as he’s often found sitting on top of her or snuggled up beside her. This guy craves attention, so playtime is his absolute favorite — especially when a wand toy is involved and his sister joins in to help catch their prey!
