About Tommy and Jerry | |

“Good afternoon. Thank you for stopping by. We are a dignified pair of designer brothers, very black and white, highly appropriate for a retro 1950s kitchen with some touches of pink and turquoise. We love each other very much. We’ve been together all our lives. We’re so glad that Feline Rescue took us in when our human crossed the rainbow bridge and that the humans here have assured us that we can stay together. Perhaps we could come stay with you? We’ll love you as much as we love each other.”
Tommy and Jerry, or Jerry and Tommy, are about six years old. Jerry has a very black chin; Tommy a very white chin. Jerry talks a bit and likes his ears scratched – gently, very gently. Tommy prefers to do the decorative, tall, strong, silent cat pose or to stand behind his brother and pretend they are just one being with a lot of ears. They say they are Tommy and Jerry, not Tom and Jerry, and they don’t do cartoons or egg nog – although if there were egg nog in their water bowl, they could be interested.
“Yes, we are quiet, well-mannered fellows. Pardon me while I wash my brother’s head. It’s not that he’s dirty; we are never dirty. We are cats. I wash his head to assure him that he’s still loved even though we lost our first human. Our second human loved us, too, but his place burned down. He loved us so much that we were all he saved. So, we're back at Feline Rescue, looking for the third time charm. We love each other, and we want to love you. I’m not much of a bragger, but we do have the cutest black noses. Very black. Very cute. Would you like to pet us? We would like to be petted.”
“So, here we are, dignified designer cats, pretending we are panda bears, which we could be if we were larger and our ears were smaller. And less pointed. A matching set of fine fellows waiting to share their brotherly love with you. How about a new team for you? How about Tommy and Jerry? We’ll sleep picture-perfect on a set of turquoise and pink pillows if you’d like – but no bows around necks, please. $235 takes us home with you to be your forever cats. The pillows aren’t, alas, included.”
PS: We currently reside at THE ADOPTION CENTER (not in foster care). If you can't stop in but would like to know more about us, please call 651-642-5900, ext.3. Thanks!
