Cotter and Xander's story

　　Did you ever hear the nursery rhyme "There was a crooked man"? That crooked man had a crooked cat. Cotter is the crooked cat who is wise beyond his very few years. He spent his very young life fighting hard to survive on the outskirts of a kitty colony and has a crooked tail he proudly displays as his battle scar. Along the way, he found his forever friend Xander and looks out for her like a big brother.

　　Cotter is a mellow boy with a thick, gorgeous grey coat, about 2 years old who is very thoughtful and cautious about life. It's a good thing because keeping Xander from her own crazy antics is a lot of work! Cotter loves a good scrubbing scratch. He and Xander are both polydactyl and Cotter looks like he has thumbs, but they are not opposable, so he relies on his hoomans to love him, open treats and play kitty wand toys with him. He is a big boy with a quiet voice who asks nicely for pets. His quiet purr is a treasured reward for being able to earn his trust. Cotter loves a good view so he asks for a window to be able to nap next to.

　　Xander is Cotter's best friend and about a year and a half old. She is silky soft with a huge heart and a fun pixie look, curled ears included. Xander doesn't do anything halfway! Once you have earned her trust, she loves big and purrs even bigger! Xander wants to be big and fearless but she remembers the hard days of living in the colony so her guard is still up. She loves lap time and loves to kneed (with claws out) so Xander thinks thick lap blankets are normal. You will often find her sharing Cotter's sunny window seat or on your bed.

　　Cotter and Xander are hoping you have a quiet, stable home that has room for them share their love with you. They do not want to be picked up or held, but they come for loves every chance they get. They will require time to get to know you and your home at their pace but they will reward your patience with absolute devotion. They are fine with other nice kitties but haven't met any dogs to know if they are a threat or not. As they are still very cautious, they would not do well with small children but older (10 yo and up), patient kids who will play wand toys with them would be just their thing.

　　They can be adopted together to a loving home for $115!
