Description:
***Éowyn & Pippin MUST be adopted together.*** Éowyn (pronounced "HEY-oh-in" without the "H") and her brother Pippin are bonded siblings looking for their furever home! Named after characters from The Lord of the Rings trilogy, these beautiful 3-year-old Maine Coon mixes came to OMC! Rescue via a rescuer in New Jersey, who saved them from the streets, along with their mother, Rosie (also available for adoption: https://www.omcrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=20292666). No one knows what their life was like before they were rescued, but it couldn’t have been good, as they are very shy and skittish (but sweet!). They require a super-patient adopter who is willing to give them all the time they need to feel comfortable in their new home. Éowyn and Pippin have made some progress since arriving at their foster home. They’re both still very nervous around people, but Éowyn now approaches her foster mom to sniff her outstretched hand. Her foster mom was absolutely delighted when she recently accepted some neck scratches! Pippin still runs and hides when his foster mom tries to approach him. Éowyn is definitely his “protector” and always assures him that everything is OK. The two of them play and wrestle when their foster mom is in the room with them, and it’s heartwarming to see how much Éowyn loves her brother! The siblings love all kinds of toys — catnip mice, crinkly balls, jingle balls, even squeaky toys! They're also big fans of the laser pointer — especially Pippin, who is completely enraptured by the elusive red dot. When Éowyn and Pippin aren’t wrestling or running around playing, they can be found lounging on one of the cat trees or snoozing in one of the comfy cat beds. They also groom each other, which is super-cute! Éowyn and Pippin currently live with several other cats, as well as dogs. They've been fine with the cats, but they haven’t had any interactions with the dogs, who are big and somewhat boisterous. They would probably be OK with a very calm dog. Éowyn and Pippin have never been around children before, and given their shyness, they would probably do best in a home without young kids. Both Éowyn & Pippin are up to date on their vaccinations and spayed/neutered, and they’ve tested negative for FeLV/FIV. The siblings also have wonderful manners and always use their litter boxes, as well as their scratching posts! Éowyn & Pippin are located in Burke, Virginia.
