Burt & Ernie

Hi, I'm Burt!
And this is my brother, Ernie. We're a package deal, and honestly, that's the whole point of us.
We're black Bombay kitties, sleek and shiny like little panthers, and if you ask me, we're pretty darn handsome if we do say so ourselves. But looks aren't even the best part - the best part is that we're kittens through and through. We want adventure and mischief. Basically, we're ready to cause a lot of joy.
Ernie is the outgoing one. He'll march right up to you, head-butt your hand until you pet him, and turn into a full-blown cuddle bug the second you sit down. He doesn't really believe in strangers - just a friend he hadn't head-bonked yet.
I'm a little different. I'm shy, and the world's still a bit big and scary for me some days. But I'm coming around - I just need someone patient enough to let me do it in my own time.
Here's the thing you really need to know about us, though: we can't be split up. If I wander somewhere Ernie can't see me, he cries. He really does. And the second he cries, I come running - every single time. It's just how we work. He's braver when I'm around, and I'm a little more grounded when he's near. We're better together, and honestly, we're a lot more fun that way too.
Our mama was a sweet semi-feral calico named Cordelia. She started hanging around a family's home, and they took care of her the best they could - until one day she showed up expecting kittens. That's how we came into the world, and into rescue. But here's the happy part: Cordelia gets her own happy ending too. She chose that home, and now she gets to stay there for good.
As for me and Ernie? We're still looking for our forever people. We come as a two-for-one deal of purrs, chaos, and cuddles - one bold, one bashful, both completely ready to steal your heart (and probably your favorite pen too).
If you've got room for double the trouble and double the love, we're ready when you are.
Love,Burt & Ernie
