Taking on three rescue cats!

Other than being around friends and family's cats, we've never actually owned our own and are taking on three rescues, are we mad?

We were originally looking for a pair but wanted older than kittens and cats that are ok with kids/like affection and cuddles which can be tricky with rescues. Anyway we spotted some that sounded perfect in every way but are a trio! There was suggestion on the website they could possibly be split into a pair and a single if they struggled to re-home them but there was no way we were going to do that to them, so here we are!

All advice gratefully received 😄😺😺😺

Well we've had them a week and they officially own the place 😻😻😻
It already feels like they've been part of the family forever! They all snuggled on me and DH for a nap earlier, which was the sweetest thing ever ☺️

They are gorgeous! You are so lucky!!!

They are gorgeous aren't they 😍 I honestly don't understand why black and black and white are the most overlooked

We have a Cats Protection brother and sister. We were talking in general to the Cats Protection lady, and she said, in her experience, many people still think black cats are unlucky🙄

The RSPCA said the same thing to us, madness 🤷 😟

Three is a great number for a cat household, if two are playing the third gets to nap. They look very settled. Enjoy getting to know their personalities.

They are gorgeous. I'm so glad you were able to give them a home together. You'll not regret it except, maybe, when you stand in car vomit in bare feet

They look so settled! Lovely boys, I hope you are all very happy together
