Buddy and Milo - inseparable companions seeking their fresh start
Buddy and Milo's world fell apart when their owner's house was repossessed, leaving these 2-year-1-month-old boys suddenly homeless through absolutely no fault of their own. A kind relative stepped in temporarily, but with several cats already in the household, the situation quickly became stressful for everyone involved. What started as a rescue became another upheaval for two cats who'd already lost everything they knew.
Through all this uncertainty, Buddy (black and white) and Milo (tabby white) have had each other, and that bond has clearly been their anchor. Both are understandably quiet, nervous, and shy – hardly surprising given they've faced house loss, owner loss, and an overcrowded temporary home in quick succession. They're the sort of cats who need time to trust that this new situation will actually be permanent and safe, but their capacity for affection is simply waiting beneath that cautious exterior.
Buddy and Milo absolutely must stay together and would thrive in a calm household with older children who can give them the space and patience they need to emerge from their shells. Perfect for indoor living away from busy roads, they've shown they can live with other cats provided the household isn't overwhelming. These devoted companions simply need someone who understands that the best relationships develop slowly, and who'll find deep reward in watching two nervous cats gradually discover they're finally, truly home.
