Meet the Ladies of The Hunt – Artemis (Torbie) and Diana (Black/White)

 

These beautiful two-year-old girls are a bonded pair and have been together their whole lives and must be adopted together.  The SPCA does realize that adopting two cats is more of a responsibly, but it is very important these girls go to a home together for their well-being, so they are waiving the adoption fee for one.

These two ladies came to the SPCA as part of a hoarding situation, along with just over 60 other cats. Though everyone was initially frozen in fear and covered in fleas, through patience and socialization work they have started to come around and are slowly learning that people are not that scary,  though they may always be somewhat fearful around new things or unexpected actions.

Artemis is a little more outgoing than her sister Diana and loves to climb up high to observe the world from her tower, she also loves to play with wand toys, kicker balls, basically anything that gets her hunting instinct going! While she is getting more comfortable with people and being pet,  she is not yet ready to be picked up or snuggled and will require her guardian to let her decide when she is ready for this.

Diana is a bit shyer than her sister Artemis but has been making huge progress. When she first came in, she was more scared than nearly any cat they had ever seen, and even bit staff members on intake day. Though they were worried for her psychological health, when she met up with her sister Artemis her entire personality began to change. Though they are still working on being able to pet her, she now LOVES to play with wand toys, will eat tasty treats from their hands, and loves nothing more than her late afternoon naps! Though she still has a lot of work ahead of her, a quiet, calm and patient home where she can be with her sister all day long is exactly what she needs in her life.
