Feline BFFs Squeeky and Brandy, currently being cared for by the Canadian Animal Rescue & Extended Shelter (C.A.R.E.S.) in Langley, have but one wish: to find their forever home together.
“Squeeky was under a year old when she came to the shelter in November 2008. She’d been rescued … out of the wall of a barn that was going to be torn down near the shelter,” said C.A.R.E.S. director Allison Burton. “She was traumatized and very scared – it took a very long time before any volunteer was able to touch her.”
The black-and-white, long-haired beauty took much comfort in hiding behind other cats, Burton added.
“The only way you could pet her was to slowly reach over the others in front of her and pet her while you were petting the cat in front of her,” she explained. “The only home Squeeky has known is our shelter. She continues to adore the company of other cats, and in particular, her best friend Brandy.”
Indeed, the two cats are often seen cuddling together in a kitty bed or walking and bumping along together to get a bite to eat at the feeding bowls.
“We can now pet Squeeky with just her friend Brandy buffering her,” Burton said.
Though Squeeky seems to have accepted the C.A.R.E.S. shelter and her fellow felines as her home and “family,” volunteers “still hold out hope that the right person might come along and offer a home to Squeeky and her buddy Brandy both.”Brandy is a pretty six-year-old friendly, spayed tortoiseshell female. She too was rescued – this time from a trailer park with her two kittens. All three had been abandoned. Though the babies have since found their forever homes, Brandy waits on. Her ideal adoptive family would offer a quiet indoor environment with no young children – and with space, of course, for her pal Squeeky, as well.
“As best friends, Brandy and Squeeky need to be adopted as a pair,” Burton said. “We’d love to see them find their forever home together.”
Can you open your heart and your home to this sweet pair?
