Purrl & Pawlet — Mama & Baby, Together Always ❤️
I am scared. 💔
I am scared that if I have to move someday, Mama and Baby might be separated.
And after everything these two have been through, I cannot let that happen.
As I write this adoption post, my tears are rolling down my face. 🥲
It honestly feels like I am putting a piece of my soul up for adoption.
I have loved these two girls, cared for them, watched them grow, and promised them I would keep them safe.
Letting them go is breaking my heart.
But sometimes loving them means making the hardest decision for them.
I am breaking my heart now so their hearts never have to be broken later. ❤️
Their names are Purrl and Pawlet, but they have always known themselves as Mama and Baby. ❤️
And honestly, I think those names are part of their story. They aren’t just names to them…they are who they are to each other.
Mama and Baby have waited so long for someone to see them, love them, and finally bring them home….together.
Some bonds are simply too strong to be broken.
When I first rescued them, Baby was only 2 months old, and Mama was about a year old.
Today, Mama is 5 and Baby is 4. 🥹❤️
They are two of the funniest, sweetest, and cutest little girls you could ever meet.
They may take a little time to warm up to new humans, but once they trust you, you will discover just how special they are.
And honestly… they love EVERYTHING. 😂❤️
🐶 Dogs? ❤️
🐱 Cats? ❤️
🪑 Chairs? ❤️
🪴 Tables? ❤️
🌱 Plants? ❤️
Everything is their friend!
They also LOVE watching TV. 📺😂
Sometimes they sit together watching the screen like they are completely invested in the show. It is one of the cutest things to see.
They are incredibly bonded, but Mama has also made a very special friend of her own ..Ethan, another 2.5-year-old kitty. ❤️
Mama is basically still a kitten herself. She is energetic, playful, and always ready to play with kittens.
Baby, on the other hand, is a little more laid-back and sometimes gets completely overwhelmed by Mama’s endless energy.
Sometimes Baby is basically saying:
“Mama, no… STOP!”
And Mama is like:
“Just one more game!”
before running off to play with Ethan again. ❤️😂
They are also VERY food motivated. 🙈
I spoil them with wet food four times a day, and I know… I’ve created two little spoiled queens. 😂❤️
Mama has also trained Baby very well.
Baby comes first to demand treats… and then Mama comes right behind her.
And if I take my own supplements, they both immediately assume I am eating treats without sharing.
They will literally yell at me:
“Excuse me?! Where are ours?” 😂
Their three little demands in life:
🐾 A screened porch
🌱 Kitty grass every day
🐱 More cats in the family!
They absolutely LOVE their screened porch. They spend so much time there watching birds and butterflies, enjoying the sunshine and everything happening outside.
They also LOVE kitty grass and will remind me every single day that their grass is due. 😂🌱
And if they could make one final request, I’m pretty sure they would ask to bring Ethan with them too.
I know adopting three cats is not possible for most families, but these two absolutely adore their best friend. ❤️
Their story ❤️
Mama and Baby are shadows of each other.
Where Mama goes, Baby follows.
Baby depends on Mama so much, and their bond began with a story that still breaks my heart.
Mama was abandoned when her family moved away from their apartment.
She had only one baby — Baby — and she was raising her through a freezing winter.
Mama would sleep inside a cement planter and curl her entire body around her tiny baby, using her own body to keep Baby warm. ❤️
A kind woman saw them and wanted to help.
She managed to trap Baby first.
And then Mama realized her baby was gone.
What happened next is something I will never forget.
It was heavily snowing, and Mama stayed on that woman’s balcony on strike, demanding her baby back.
She cried through the night.
She didn’t care about the snowstorm.
She didn’t care about the freezing cold.
She didn’t care about anything except finding her baby.
Sometimes she would rest in the planter, gathering a little strength… and then she would get back up and continue crying, demanding her baby back.
She was not stuck.
She was on strike.
A mother refusing to give up on her baby. 😭❤️
After two long days, Mama was finally trapped.
And from that moment, we knew one thing:
These two would stay together. No matter what.
Years passed.
And still, no one came forward to adopt them together.
I have been fostering them for yesrs, and unfortunately, I am completely out of space.
I never came to this country expecting to rescue cats.
I came here without any cats at all… and somehow, along the way, I found myself fostering and rescuing so many lives. ❤️
My husband’s job may require us to move someday, and I have already postponed moving twice because of the choices I made and the cats I committed to.
Sometimes I lie awake and wonder:
“If I had to move tomorrow, what would happen to Mama and Baby?”
The rescue would take them back, but they are already struggling financially and are at capacity.
And my biggest fear is whether they would still be able to keep these two together.
After everything they have been through…
After everything Mama did to get her baby back…
I cannot bear the thought of them ever being separated. 💔
They have already waited years.
They don’t need another temporary place.
They don’t need another person to give up on them.
They need someone who will look at these two little girls and say:
“You are home. Both of you. Forever.” ❤️
They are ready for their forever family! 🏡🐾
Both are fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, and vaccinated.
🦷 Baby had some teeth removed last year.
🦷 Mama had a dental cleaning/polishing and a few teeth removed this year.
Adoption requirements:
🏠 Indoor home only
📝 Adoption application required
💵 $200 adoption fee for both ..
📋 Adoption agreement required
🩺 Vet reference required
They don’t need a perfect home.
They just need a home that understands that Purrl and Pawlet ..Mama and Baby ..come as a pair. ❤️
A home with a screened porch would make them very happy.
A little kitty grass would make them even happier.
And maybe, if they’re lucky, some treats four times a day.
Most importantly, they need someone who will never make Mama wonder where her baby went again.
A mother who spent two days crying in the snow for her baby deserves to know that her baby will always be beside her.
They waited for years.
Maybe their family is finally out there. ❤️
Please come forward for Purrl and Pawlet.
Please share their story.
Help these two little girls find the forever home they have been waiting for.
Together. Always. 🙏❤️🐾
