Hi! Our names are Rollie (boy, tabby) and SweetPea (girl, black fur). We are spunky, social, and sweet kittens from Texas. We have been through a lot of change lately but have adapted really well each step of the way I have lots of kitten energy. We are curious, outgoing, brave and busy! We love to wrestle each other, play "kitty parkour' all around the house, and supervise the bunnies and squirrels and birds in the front yard. We are also super snuggly and social - we love human pets, snuggles, and laps and often have lots to say to the humans.We have met kids and adults, cats and dogs and were unfazed.
Our background is a bit of a mystery; we are most likely siblings. We were found living outside in Texas. Kind people brought us (and our best buddy/sister PeekBoo) indoors and taught us about the cozy, indoor life. Along with a bunch of other pets, I rode in a van from Texas to Minnesota and then rode in a few cars before we landed at a foster home in Minneapolis on 2/11/2025. The 3 of us really like it here - we are living the great life. And we are ready to find our forever home and finally get settled in!
We are snuggly and easy-going cats and like being held and pet and snuggled and hugged. We love to be near or on people. We instantly trust and love humans and we assume all other animals want to be buddies. We both come running when called for meal time and love to snooze in the sun. And we are super curious and brave - if you leave a door open a crack, we will go through it - even into cupboards, closets, and bathtubs. We prefer to "jump first, ask questions later". And if we think there is something or someone interesting on the other side of a door, we will paw underneath it and meow to try and get access. We love to wrestle with each other and chase toys (real and imaginary) around the room; we are awesome at "kitty parkour"! Our play sessions are always followed by naps - nearly always snuggled together/intertwined.
We have a perfect litter box record, use scratching posts, and are good eaters.
We promise to add maximum cuteness, tons of fun and many snuggles to your family!
SweetPea is from Texas.

Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats' emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of "Single Kitten Syndrome" (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten's most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
