Twinkie (adopt with sister snack cake, Krimpet)

Twinkie came into the care of LCCR when Twinkie got sick with FIP, and her caretaker needed to find an experienced foster who could treat her and save her life. Her sister Krimpet came along for moral support! The wonderful news is that Twinkie got better quickly, and her 3-month treatment period has come to an end. She is thriving during her observation period, kept active by her busy body sister, Krimpet. Here's the thing with these two that you definitely cannot tell by the pictures. Born in May 2025, they still only weigh as much as a five-month-old kittens (5 lbs). In addition to being small, they are also very compact and have slightly smushed faces--almost looking like midget cats, but they are not. Just completely ADORABLE.

In addition to their cute size, they also have fantastic personalities. Krimpet is the more outgoing of the two, having no fear in approaching you for pets, snuggles, toys, or food requests. Often she will accompany that with a high-pitched kitten-like meow and a tap of her paw. Twinkie lets her sister do most of the work, but she is close behind on any foraging or begging excursions. She is a little bit more reserved, though, and in new situations, you can find her peeking out from under the sofa, taking everything in. Once they both are comfortable, though, there is no stopping them. They recently have discovered plastic spring toys and they just go bonkers! Krimpet will often climb up next to you for naps, whether it's the sofa or your bed. Twinkie's first instinct is to take a nap in a cat tree, but if you pick her up and lay her on you, she will likely fall asleep there. They are entertaining cuddlebugs!

Twinkie and Krimpet live with a friendly beagle, so they would be good with a dog who knows their manners and won't chase them. They are fine with other playful or unobtrusive kitties--unfortunately one resident cat at their foster home has started to pick on them, so they are living a quiet life in a bedroom where they can nap and play and look out the window. Given their small size, they should likely only go to a home with older kids.

Here is the unique offering with Twinkie and Krimpet. Twinkie is in the observation phase of her FIP treatment, which means she is finished with her medicine, but she needs her bloodwork done in at the end of February and in mid-April (which LCCR will pay for), and then she can be declared cured of FIP (hooray!). Their foster, who is experienced with FIP cats and successful treatment, is confident that Twinkie will be declared cured and is offering a foster-to-adopt option for these two. An approved adopter can take them home (with a signed contract and deposit) and love on them and be loved on in a "pending adoption" status until mid-April when the adoption becomes official. Please feel free to inquire with their foster mom Ellyn for more information. This opportunity is being offered because there is no reason these girls can't find their forever homes now, which opens up space at the foster home for other cats needing placement.

Twinkie and Krimpet's joint adoption donation is $245 and includes age-appropriate vaccines, dewormer, flea treatment, Felv/FIV testing (negative for both), microchip, and /spay. If you would like more information on Twinkie and Krimpet, please contact Ellyn at [email protected].
