❤️ Cloudy & Midnight need a home—together! Please consider meeting them you will literally fall in LOVE!! 🥰🥰 please share 🙏🏻🐈‍⬛♥️

These deeply bonded siblings are looking for a long-term foster home or an adoptive family. They are two of the friendliest, most affectionate cats you’ll ever meet! 🐾 they are most certainly Russian Blue mixes 🥰

Cloudy and Midnight were found in a tiny carrier in a Winsted, CT apartment after their owner was evicted. Thankfully, someone reached out, and BOLAR brought them to safety. They’ve been with our rescue since early August and are so deserving of a loving home.

Cloudy is a handsome, almost 14-pound boy with white fur and gray patches. His sweet sister Midnight is every bit as lovable. Their bond is precious, and they must stay together.

💙 Cloudy has been tested twice for feline leukemia virus (FeLV). His veterinarian confirms his infection remains regressive, with very low virus levels, making transmission very unlikely at this time. His vet says he can live with another FeLV-vaccinated cat, with continued monitoring because transmission risk can change. Midnight has tested negative twice. Both are fully vetted and otherwise healthy and sweet as can be! There is also a chance that one day he will test negative. We are just hoping that that will happen soon. He has no symptoms whatsoever. 

Midnight will receive her FeLV vaccination, and our rescue will sponsor Cloudy’s next PCR test, planned for about a year from now. We’re happy to share his veterinary information with prospective fosters or adopters.

Could you give these loving siblings a place to call home? 🏡❤️

🐾♥️ Those soulful eyes belong to Daisy 🌼- and she’s looking for a family to love! 💛🐶

Daisy is approximately 18 months old, weighs 75 pounds, and is a hound/Lab mix with a wonderfully sweet personality. She loves people, belly rubs, and playtime! She’s been good with cats and the dogs she’s met. She also has been really great with kids! 🥰

Well behaved and responsive to guidance, Daisy sometimes needs a little reassurance in new situations. A patient, loving family can help her build confidence as she explores the world.

Daisy is fully vetted, healthy, recently had all of her vaccines updated and is current on monthly prevention. She just had negative heartworm and f***l tests, too. She is ready for YOU! ♥️🐾

Daisy is being fostered in Torrington, CT.
