Let us introduce ourselves. We are two 13-year-old brothers (neutered, of course) who tell everyone we’re identical twins. But even though we are both black cats, we are slightly different. You can tell us apart the small white patch of fur on Tar's chest and his one crazy white whisker. 

That brings us to our unusual names: our mother who adopted us when we were kittens really liked a couple of schools in North Carolina. One of us was named Tar Heel after the UNC mascot; the other one was named Blue Devil after the Duke University mascot. But those are our formal names really. We prefer to go by Tar and Blue.

Like we said, our adoptive mother had us since we were tiny kittens. We haven’t ever lived with another pet except for each other. Unfortunately a while ago, our mom got sick and couldn’t take very good care of us. Then she passed away. Lately, we’ve been cared for by some foster parents. Under their care, we have become very friendly. We are so happy when our foster parents are around, and we greet them at the door. We love it when they get down on the floor so we can get lots of head scratches and pets. Tar has been known to jump up into a lap, while Blue snuggles close by.  Our purring motors are running, of course!

Even though we’re mature cats, we are very healthy. And we still enjoy playing with our toys too. Tar is fond of sitting in box lids while Blue is crazy for his kitty water fountain. Oh, and both of us LOVE to be brushed! And of course, when we are out sunning on the patio, we do a lot of rolling around hoping for belly scratches.

We are looking for a forever home with someone who doesn’t have any other animals, where we can be together. It would be pretty hard on us to be split up or to have to deal with another animal. Even though two cats might seem like a lot, we are really good at keeping each other company, so it might actually be easier. And we will be terrific to have around on Halloween - inside of course! 

We hope you will seriously consider taking us home with you.

Sincerely,

Tar and Blue
