Meet the Honeymooners, Trixie (shorthair snowshoe Siamese) and Ralphie (gray tuxie)! As kittens, they were found by Forgotten Felines Rescue volunteers at two different feral colonies in the Denver area. Since they were only a few weeks old, they were good candidates to leave their lives on the street forever and become loving pets, so they were brought to the same foster home to be socialized, spayed and neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. When they met, it was love at first sight, and the babies immediately bonded. Trixie was underweight for her age and Ralphie had an upper respiratory infection when he was found, but with the loving care of their foster family, and support from each other, they rapidly recovered, learning to be their best kitten selves. After seeing how much these two sweet kittens had begun to rely on each other, their foster mom decided it was important for them to stay together. So, once they were old enough, she started to look for a family who would take them as a bonded pair.

Unfortunately, as they neared adoption age, Ralphie was diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP).  A few years ago, this diagnosis would have been a death sentence as there had been no cure or even treatment for FIP. However, veterinary medicine has advanced in the last few years, and Forgotten Felines Rescue and his foster mom decided to try a relatively new treatment protocol. After several months of treatment and several more months of testing, Ralphie was cured of the potentially fatal disease! Of course, Trixie was a big help in his recovery and they grew closer than ever. 

We are so glad they have found the purrfect forever home together! Trixie has mastered the art of playing fetch and has become an expert lounger. She can be found splayed out on the carpet, in her bed, even in the sink. Her best bud prefers to pose more regally, but wherever Trixie is, Ralphie is close by.
