These are my new kitties, Leo (male) on the left and Peach (female) on the right. They're siblings and had to be adopted together. Peach relies on her older brother for protection, here they are huddled up in the bathroom (temporary safe room) while they acclimate. Leo is approximately 4 months old while Peach is about 3 months old.
Leo is starting to warm up to me slowly and starts purring if I pick him up or pet him. Peach is still very hand shy and hisses if I try to approach her. I still try to handle her at least once a day though so that she can start to get used to my presence. Peach is also recovering from a cold so that's why she looks a bit off. While she does hiss initially, she doesn't try to run away or fight when I handle her so that's a good sign.
Both of them still have their names given to them by their foster parents. I want to rename them but I'm drawing a blank so feel free to suggest some. I was hoping for 2 black kitties but that deal fell through, which is a shame because I already had names picked out (Luna for the tuxedo and Obsidian for the black one).
Sadly, Coco has yet to be found. After I lost her I resolved that will only keep my cats indoors from now on. It's a shame to deprive them of the joys of the great outdoors but sadly it's a choice I have to weigh against their safety. Coco's original name was Laurie Beth.
