Day in and day out, the two little brown tabbies jumped and ran and tumbled across the big floor in Valley Humane Society’s Kitty City cat run. Though they looked similar enough to be brothers, Ron and Frit had come from different litters. Left behind long after their littermates were adopted, the amiable kittens had grown enough to integrate into the adult cat habitat, where they became the best of friends.

Then along came the Roster family, who reached out across the Internet to express their desire to adopt a pair of kittens. Ron and Frit 9.29.16_squareTheir previous cat, Mazie, had been adopted from VHS 17 years earlier. After reviewing staff recommendations online, the whole family came for a visit. They had in mind to bring home two friendly, outgoing young cats, and Ron and Frit fit the bill perfectly.

Now the pair, “our teenage boys,” as Carol calls them provide endless hours of entertainment. “I’m so grateful to the entire team,” writes Carol. “We wanted a friendly, bonded pair for our family, and these two were recommended immediately. We LOVE our boys! We are bursting with joy!” The Rosters decided that Ron “looked like a Ron,” so he kept his name, but Frit has become Schooner, named for Carol’s favorite restaurant in Monterey. The two are happy and playful and are finally real brothers in a forever family.
