🧐If you are looking to double the love in your life, we have the ultimate dynamic duo for you. Astro and Sara Lee beauties who look so much alike they could pass for brother and sister! They have spent months together at the rescue, developing an inseparable friendship, a beautiful daily routine, and a shared understanding of what it means to be beautifully unique.
❤️🩹We fully understand that finding a forever home for just one "special needs" kitty is incredibly hard, and finding a placement for two can sometimes feel completely impossible. While they can be adopted separately if the perfect individual homes come along, we still believe in magic. We know there is an extraordinarily special home out there meant for both of them, and seeing these two besties get to stay together forever would be absolutely magical.
💪Astro and Sara Lee aren't just roommates; they are each other's therapy partners. Sara Lee's hyper-fun, adventurous energy keeps Astro moving and staying active, which is exactly what he needs to build up his muscle strength and maintain his mobility. In return, Astro’s calm, gentle presence keeps Sara Lee beautifully grounded. They have a mutual respect for each other's differences, balancing one another out perfectly.
🩻Astro came to us after losing most of the use of his back legs. Thanks to our vets, 'home' physical therapy, and a whole lot of love, he has made incredible strides!
Astro gets around pretty dang well now! He can easily navigate flat floors, get in and out of his litter box, and climb up foam stairs, perch like a prairie dog at the kitchen door to ask for food...
He cannot stretch his hind legs very far or jump, and he cannot move quickly to escape threats.
😇He is an absolute lovebug who knows how to communicate his needs sweetly and clearly. His favorite pastimes include curling up on a warm lap, sitting right by your side, basking in the sunshine, and greeting every human and kitty he meets.
🤪Now, Sara Lee is Astro's gorgeous "little sister" lookalike and the ultimate companion. She a hyper-fun, energetic girl during playtime, but the second she burns off her energy, she transforms into the ultimate snuggle bug. She and Astro are joined at the hip, constantly playing "follow the leader" around the room until bedtime.
😺Sara Lee takes her role as Astro’s best friend very seriously—she has even become his personal safety inspector! In new situations, she will step up first to assess the risks and make sure everything is completely safe before letting Astro proceed behind her.
Here is what her daily care looks like:
🥣Strict Paté-Only Diet: Sara Lee has a congenital narrowing of her esophagus (a stricture), meaning solid food can get stuck. Because of this, she must have zero access to table scraps, kibble, or other animal food.
Her Daily Routine: She does beautifully on a strict diet of Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Paté! To help her food go down smoothly, she just needs to eat small, frequent meals with her front end slightly elevated (like standing on a small block with her front paws so her mouth is level with her feeder).
Because of Astro's mobility limitations and Sara Lee's dietary needs, these best friends need a slower-paced, attentive home where feeding times can be strictly supervised to ensure Sara Lee doesn't sneak any crunchy snacks, and where they can play safely and be thoroughly pampered together.
