Meet adoptable Lip and Ian, a pair of 1-year-old brothers.

Brothers Lip (or as we like to call him, Philip) and Ian are two of the most personable cats we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Philip, the grey one, has very strong older brother energy. He’s handsome and he knows it, and he likes to watch Ian’s antics with a judgmental eye. He is also smarter than his brother.

He likes freeze-dried minnow treats, people’s feet (smelling, licking, laying on), and flopping on his side submissively when he’s done something he isn’t supposed to do. He would probably like looking in the mirror if he could recognize himself.

Ian, the white one, has great athletic prowess (he did a double backflip while playing once!), but he is not very smart. He likes to nibble on fingers and ears, but listens when people say no. He also likes to climb on people, furniture, and potted plants, and on one memorable occasion into the washing machine.

Both cats are very food-motivated, noisy, and energetic. They love to cuddle, with humans or with each other, and play, especially with laser pointers and fishing-rod-style toys. They’re usually fine being left alone during the day, and will greet you happily at the door when you return!

Lip and Ian have tested positive for FelV. Many cats who test positive for FelV never exhibit symptoms and can live long normal lives. It is important that they live only with other FelV positive cats, although they can live safely with dogs and other pets without risk of transmission.
