Keppe

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

Hi! I’m Keppe. Together with my brother Joske, I’m currently living in a foster home that’s also home to two other cats. When we first arrived here, we were absolutely terrified. We hid as best we could, flinching at every sound and every movement. Joske immediately took on the role of protector. If anyone got too close, he’d briefly show his teeth to make it clear we weren’t ready for contact yet. But as soon as things calmed down and no one was in the room, we came alive. Then we’d chase each other around, climb everywhere, and play as if the whole world belonged to us. Now, a month later, we’ve already made tremendous progress. I’m the smaller of the two of us, but don’t be fooled— I’m just as brave. First, I like to watch from a safe distance, observing everything happening around me. That’s helped me gain more and more confidence. In the meantime, I’ve already started to approach people more closely, and sometimes I even cautiously touch a hand or a foot. I also love to lie nearby, taking it all in at my own pace. I’m sure that given enough time, patience, and space, I might one day even snuggle up comfortably against you. Though right now, I’m not quite ready for that yet. Joske, on the other hand, absolutely loves other cats. He’d love nothing more than to invite them all over to play together. And Joske does it in a really clever—and adorable—way. First he’ll play nearby, then—oops!—he’ll suddenly roll onto his back, inching closer and closer to the other cat. It’s almost as if he’s saying, “Come join me!” It’s hard not to fall for that charm. I love other cats too, but I’m a bit more mindful of their boundaries. While Joske uses his cuteness to get closer and sometimes even tries playing with them, I’ll simply move as close as I can and then lie down quietly. Hopefully, that way they’ll trust me enough to eventually play with me too. As you can tell, we’re real little playmates. We chase each other around, play with balls, climb in the scratching post, and experience new adventures every single day. When we’re a bit older, we’d also love to explore a safe garden or outdoor space. We dream of a warm home where we can stay together—a place where we’ll have the time to fully blossom, without pressure and at our own pace. Every day, we’re making great strides, and we’re convinced that with a little patience and love, we’ll grow into two wonderful housemates. Maybe we could take that step together—with you?
