Looking for a forever home for my adorable foster kitten duo: Flo & Rida - please help them stay together! (PRC/Tampa)
I’m feeling quite defeated right now and just hoping the right person somewhere out there might see this. I’ve been fostering two kittens, Flo and Rida, through the Pet Resource Center (PRC) here in Tampa. To be completely honest, fostering is never easy and can be really exhausting and stressful at times. Then comes the hardest part, if everything else worked out for your furbabies, when your fosters are ready for adoption, you don't have complete control over what happens next, on top of the bittersweet feeling of saying farewell. With these two, it actually has been a pretty smooth ride - we only went through initial GI bumps and of course the general chaos of raising kittens... But overall, it’s been incredibly rewarding, and I’ve poured so much love into getting them healthy and ready for adoption. They are a happy, playful, and completely adorable little duo. The last pic is from when I first got them, and the rest are more recent. As you can see, they belong together.
They are scheduled to return to the shelter this coming Wednesday, and I haven’t found anyone yet who will adopt them as a pair. Just look at Rida’s eyes - how can anyone say no to those?
My biggest worry right now is that once they are back at the shelter they are going to be adopted separately. They are a deeply bonded pair. They sleep in a tangled pile, groom each other, and rely on each other for everything. Flo, the white patchy boy, is a cautious, gentle soul, and Rida, the black sassy girl, is a bundle of energy who keeps them both entertained. Seeing them split up after all the work put into raising them together would break my heart, and I know it would be incredibly stressful for them. And there are so many great reasons to adopt 2 kittens instead of 1!
They are fully litter-box trained, microchipped, vaccinated, and will be fixed through PRC. They can be pre-adopted, meaning they can go straight to a home and won't have to sit in a shelter cage.
I really just want the best outcome for these two. If you or anyone you know in the Tampa area has room for two, please reach out. I'm running out of time and am just really worried about them.
