Damon and Stefan are a pair of eye candies! These two handsome boys have beautiful markings and vibrant eyes that just tug at your heart. The tipped ears on them indicate they have been through a TNR program. While this program is great for managing cat populations, it doesn’t necessarily provide the best introduction to humans. While they have been gradually warming up to the idea that people aren’t so bad, naturally, they still have reservations. Once Stefan has warmed up to you, he loves to be pet behind the ears and will reward you with nonstop purrs. Damon will show his trust by coming up to you for treats and wet food, but is still not comfortable with being petted. They are shy at first, but they are familiar with people and enjoy gentle care on their own terms. According to these kittens, a great building block for trust starts with tasty treats and play. Damon and Stefan will let their guard down a bit to play with wand toys or chase springs and toys that you toss for them. Damon prefers wand toys, Stefan LOVES the laser pointer, and they equally love chasing any toy you can toss.
Damon and Stefan have the potential to do well in an indoor home given the right conditions. Although they love cats and get along very well with them, they have a much better chance at warming up to you if they are the only two cats. They wouldn’t make good cats for first time cat owners or families with children. They would do best in a calmer home with adults only that have previous experience working with very shy/feral cats. They are okay with a cat friendly dog. Potential adopters should have a good understanding of cat behavior and the patience to let them trust you at their pace. Stefan is slowly turning into a cuddle bug, however, Damon is still very reserved about being touched and it is difficult to say if he ever will fully warm up to the idea of being petted. Potential adopters for an indoor home must understand that they must fully be committed to gentle and consistent effort.
Damon and Stefan would also do great in a barn, workshop, stable, yard, or rural property where they can have shelter, regular food, and a safe place to settle in. Together they are the perfect little outdoor team ready to add an extra set of paws around your property. If you are someone who is willing to give them time to adjust and feel secure, they may just be your perfect outdoor companions!
