PLEASE - Edith and Violet Need You, Urgently!!!
Hi. I'm Edith.
I don't know a gentle way to say this, so I'm just going to say it plainly: my mommy is losing her home. It's not her fault - nothing she did wrong, nothing she could have stopped. But because of it, Violet and I are about to lose the only safe place we've ever known. And I'm scared. Please, please read this.
I need you to understand something about us first, though. Violet and I - we've already survived the unsurvivable. We were born on a property that was being cleared, and our mama had to run for her life. She couldn't get back to us. We were left behind, just the two of us, the only ones in our whole litter who made it. We were tiny. Dehydrated. Cold. Starving. Covered in fleas. We looked like two wrinkled little old ladies - that's actually why we got our names. And through all of that, do you know what we did? We clung to each other. We held on. And somehow, together, we lived.
That's who we are at our core. We are proof that love and togetherness can pull you through anything. And now we need somebody to prove that to us one more time.
Since then, we've grown into these silly, beautiful, affectionate girls, and I want you to know exactly who you'd be welcoming in. Violet is punctual about her dinner - she'll nudge you or pat your ankle with her paw like a tiny alarm clock, and she does not appreciate lateness. I have my own quirk too - I like to drink from the bathroom faucet, and I will patiently wait right there until you turn it on for me. We both go feral for wand toys and could stalk a laser light until the end of time. And when the zoomies hit? We are, without exaggeration, the best comedy show in town.
We LOVE Temptations and Churu - offer us either and we are yours instantly. I enjoy a little catnip now and then; Violet, on the other hand, wants absolutely nothing to do with it - very much a "just say no" kind of girl. Give us a cozy hideout up high, or better yet, an empty cardboard box, and you will have handed us the keys to paradise.
Given everything we've already survived out there, we're hoping for a home where we stay safely inside - we're strictly indoor-only girls now, and that's exactly how we'd love to stay. Warm, protected, and never out in the world alone again. We are seven year old cuddle bugs and we are the Venus & Serena of champion world class biscuit makers.
But please, understand this above everything else: we are a package deal. Our bond isn't something that can be split - it's the thing that kept us alive when nothing else could. Whoever takes us in gets double the love, double the silliness, and a bond so strong it survived what should have been unsurvivable.
We don't have much time left to find that person. Please - if you have room in your home and your heart for two little old-lady-named survivors who've already proven just how much love they can give, reach out today. We're waiting, and we're hoping with everything we have that it's you.
Love,Edith & Violet
