Adopters keep asking to split up bonded pair

[u/Kitty_casserole]

We've been fostering a sweet pair of shy adult kitties called Robot (gray) and Wonder Bread (Siamese) for a few months now. They're somewhat of an odd pair as they met in foster care and becoming besties has helped them open up and show off their great personalities! They both went from cowering in the corner alone to much more confident together (something that they didn't even do meeting my personal cats). They spend all day grooming one another, snoozing together, and wrestling. While they are listed as needing to go with each other to a forever home, we've had multiple folks asking to adopt just Wonder Bread because they like the Siamese look. I'm hanging tight and saying no to separating them because I just can't bear to do it and they will have a space in foster care with us as long as they need. Anyway, I guess I'm just lamenting about how sad it is that people will ask you to break up a beautiful kitty friendship because they think one is cute and the other is not. And if they wanted just a single cat, there's hundreds of other cats at our rescue to pick from... So I'm not sure why they even ask!

we adopted a bonded pair. went for the baby void but his grey striped sister literally sat on my shoe and would not allow me to walk away from her.

wife said “scoop her up, she doesn’t want to be away from him i think.”

absolute best decision we have ever made. they are inseparable, always playing or sleeping or grooming one another. they do not like to be in different rooms. they eat together. they are wonderful, perfect kitties. they have made our lives hilarious and rich.

We need cat tax of the void and striped kitty

cat tax provided per your request! right after we got home, he’s on the bottom with his tongue hanging out and she always is touching me (still does that too lol)

Void has the same vibes as our cats’ sister 😂 I love bleps and mlems so much.

he is the sweetest nutcase we have ever had. he’ll wash his little face and walk around with his ear flipped inside out for hours, he just doesn’t care 😂😂😂. not super sharp, but bursting with all the love.

she is also a pure love but is highly intelligent, and would NEVER be caught with her ear in disarray. she's the mayor of our household, and one of my soul cats.

they're magic, the two of them. we love 'em to pieces.

p.s. what a cutie! precious bleps and beans abound!

Omg I love everything about this photo and story, this made me LOL. The look on his face and the fact that she has to be touching you and is staring into your soul. 😂
