Parker & Braveheart met in the cat pens after being rescued. Although Parker at the time was a grumpy old man, Braveheart saw right through him, and a spark was lit. They were placed in the foster home together, and having each other helped them warm up to their humans and learn how to live in the home they never had.

Braveheart, who was once terrified of people, now enjoys being petted. He will get close to you when he wants some cuddles and leave once he’s had enough. He initially grimaces when being stroked, however when he settles into it, he purrs like a motorcycle and even dribbles. He is frightened by string toys or anything attached to a stick, but he happily spends time chasing balls around the floor. If he’s not snuggling into Parker’s long silky fur, he likes to spend time perched on the window, where he can watch the world go by.

Parker has become a lot less grumpy after being diagnosed with arthritis and finally receiving monthly pain relief injections from the vet. He sometimes still hisses to remind everyone of his position in the pecking order, but he also melts when having his chin or head rubbed. When he’s in the mood for cuddles, he will come and sit in front of you and stare until he gets what he wants. He eats a special diet, since he’s lost most of his teeth, but this doesn’t stop him from enjoying wet and dry food, as well as treats (he loooves dreamies!)

Ever the unlikely couple, Parker & Braveheart can often be found cuddled together on the couch. You can witness the classic lover’s quarrels every now and then, but they always find their way back to each other.

They are looking for a family together, one that has experience with cats and can be patient as they continue on their journey of warming up to humans. Their new family will be rewarded with great company from a pair of very different, strongly bonded characters.
