***SAFE 05/24/16*** DELIGHTFUL DUO OF OLDER KITTENS NEED NEW FRIEND! Meet seven month old, Atari and Noble, an adorable healthy pair of kittens whose precious lives are in peril tonight. These cuties were sadly surrendered due to their former owner not being able to care for them anymore. But it sounds like a new baby might be at the heart of it all–even though notes say that both cats were shy and fearful around the one year old with whom they lived. Noble and Atari lived with a large dog–with whom they got along fine. Both kitties are described as affectionate with high energy levels–duh–they are kittens, after all! Noble received an experience no kids rating–due to being very shy–he still tolerated petting and handling. It was noted that Atari mostly hid during his behavior eval and who can blame him for that? Atari would need to be pulled by a NH rescue. It would be great if a kind, experienced cat owner can open up their heart and home to this delightful duo of older kittens and give them the time they need to decompress from the shelter. They are used to living in a home and deserve a new “leash on life.” Contact a NH rescue if you can help Atari and Noble–Noble can be reserved online, if you like. Email our help desk and we will help you be a hero–[email protected] Make the call for this purrfect pair NOW!!!
