Controlling the overpopulation of felines through sterilization.
Minimizing impact on wildlife by feeding abandoned cats.
Offering ongoing support, consolation, and advice.

Providing financial and moral support to pet owners.
Reuniting lost pets with their families.

These exotic looking twins are already 12 weeks old. Wouldn't you like to meet them?

Their' individual personalities are definitely beginning to come out. Tommy is more rambunctious like a typical boy...but usually waits for his sister to make the first move when it comes to encountering strangers or new situations. Trixie is much more adventurous and she is also a lap cat with a huge purr for such a little thing. She will climb onto a lap whenever the opportunity arises. Her brother will hear her purring and want to be picked up to join her. Unfortunately, my lap isn't that big and they are growing fast! 

Their origins are also beginning to show. Tommy is definitely going to be a black short haired adult, but he has some subtle stripes and spots on his back and sides that might get stronger as he gets older. Along with his larger than usual ears and his long body, I think that he could very well have some Bengal or at least BengalX in his genes. He gets his blackness from his mom.Trixie's coat is slightly fluffier but not by much. She has dark brown undertones in her coat, as well as those subtle patterns. Like her brother, she has a long body and tail. They seem tall for their age. Their new toy is a rolled up pair of small tennis socks :-)
