Name:  Betty & Spike – 2 For 1! (Adopt them both for a reduced fee)
Species:  Domestic shorthaired cats
Age:  18 (both)
Gender:  Female (Betty), Male (Spike)

Betty and Spike are an adorable bonded pair of 18-year-old seniors who are hoping to spend their golden years side by side in a calm, loving home. These two have been together for a long time and take great comfort in one another, often playing together and sharing quiet moments. In their previous home, Betty and Spike were true couch potatoes and lap cats who enjoyed relaxing close to their people. They are both sweet and friendly, but can be shy with new people and will need a patient adopter who understands that it may take some time for them to feel safe and settled in a new environment. Betty is the more outgoing of the two—she’s affectionate and enjoys attention, especially full-body pets. She does have a bit of sass and likes to set clear boundaries; when she’s had enough pets, she’ll politely (or not so politely!) let you know. Spike is the quieter, shyer half of the pair. He’s very sweet and affectionate once comfortable, loves body pets, and spends most of his time snoozing the day away. Together, Betty and Spike are gentle, loving companions who would thrive in a peaceful home where they can relax, cuddle, and continue enjoying each other’s company. If you’re looking for a bonded senior pair to share quiet moments and lots of love, Betty and Spike may be the perfect match. They’re also a “2 For 1” match, which means you pay a reduced adoption fee to bring them both home. For more info on these pets, please visit https://www.dakinhumane.org/adopt-a-pet
