They are both so lovable and walk very well together. Click on the high-resolution photo to see Axel & Sammy together.

Winter the Cat
Winter is a handsome affectionate cutie pie. He arrived with a much older woman, Autumn, who he is very attached to. They take care of one another and get upset if they are apart for too long. Both of them have wonderful personalities and they make a great couple.
Winter is completely deaf, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem at all.
We really want to keep these kitties together, do you have room for two?
