Dilute Tortoiseshell / Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) Cat

Gretel the Cat needs a home

Once upon a time, there lived 2 baby kittens. Hansel, an orange/buff medium-haired little man, and his sister Gretel, a medium-haired muted tortie. They had a rough start and became lost in the woods without any bread crumbs to find their way home at the young age of 5-7 weeks. Without bread crumbs for food or guidance, they both became extremely malnourished. Little Hansel weighed only 4 ounces and even lost the use of his back legs. Gretel was in much better shape at 1.25 pounds. Luckily, with her loving encouragement and determination, after a while they happened upon a mysterious house filled with treats in the middle of the woods. This house of treats wasn't occupied by a bad witch, but a good witch and her husband. Their hosts knew how dire the situation was, and they did everything within their magical powers to bring Hansel and his sister back to health. Little Gretel bounced back quickly with lots of snacks and meals. Little Hansel needed much more hands-on care. He almost didn't pull through, but the couple was able to bring him very slowly back to health with luck and with his sister’s loving support. Soon he was regaining the use of his tiny back legs. After a while, the two kittens were finally able to meet the rest of the house’s furry members. The home was filled with 8 other kitties of all ages. The oldest, gentlest, and wisest kitty had been able to join them sooner than the rest, and he taught them all about kitty ways. The home also had 3 large, scary beasts they called dogs. After a while the kittens learned to trust these rowdy big protectors, brother much sooner than sister. Hansel now has full use of his back legs. He is daring and adventurous, with the heart of a lion. Gretel has a strong personality and keeps her brother in line. She is more cautious, but she warms up quickly to new friends and situations. They are about 7 months old as of December 2017, and they are now looking for their happy ending and a new, treat-filled forever home. They can be adopted as a pair or individually, but they would love to stay together. Both are up to date on all shots, altered, microchipped, and fully vetted.
