Tristan en Tycho

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Tycho and Tristan came to the foundation from a difficult situation, along with their four little brothers and mom. At first, they spent plenty of time together there, but now they’re living in a foster home for further socialization. Tycho and Tristan would love nothing more than to stay together—they’ve become incredibly attuned to each other. They enjoy playing and sleeping together. Like almost all kittens around nine or ten weeks old, they’re absolutely crazy about playing. They don’t have much time for cuddling, though. When they get tired, they’ll lie down together in the scratching post and take a quick nap before jumping right back into play. Both are very sociable and do enjoy being petted from time to time. Tristan, in particular, doesn’t particularly like being picked up, but they’re both extremely people-oriented and love being near you. In their foster home, they’re also not afraid of strangers and let them pet them without any hesitation. There are three other cats living in the foster home, one of whom occasionally blows at them—but they hardly pay any attention to it and just keep on doing what they were doing. They’re not used to dogs or children yet, but since they’re truly social kittens, I expect they’ll adjust fine with a calm introduction. Because they haven’t experienced only pleasant things in their young lives, getting used to new surroundings might take a bit longer. In the foster home, it took some time for them to feel comfortable in the enclosed kitten room, but later on, they got used to the rest of the house as well. Tycho is the most assertive of the four brothers—he’s always at the front when it comes to food and playtime. He was also the first one to let himself be petted in the foster home. Tristan is a bit more cautious but much more cuddly. He’ll come to you purring happily and will want to be petted for a long time. In terms of energy levels, these two brothers really match each other perfectly, and they’d love to find a home with a big scratching post. They adore climbing back and forth on the scratching post. They also love playing with the water in the water bowls. The toy rail with balls is another huge hit. But to really win their hearts, they’d love a feather wand and liquid treats. Both brothers mainly eat fresh meat; they’ll occasionally eat kitten kibble, but they prefer fresh meat even more. In a new home, they don’t necessarily need access to the outdoors—instead, they’d rather have a fenced-in garden or balcony. They’re still young kittens who don’t yet know any dangers.
