Here they are!! They are currently camped out in our powder room with a litter box and their food/water. They also have a cat carrier that they were brought in with a blanket inside that smells like "home".

This boy came named Patches. We will be changing it, just not sure to what yet. **updated to say that we decided to name him Thomas** He's the brave one, and much more willing to accept pets and is very talkative. lol He has the cutest voice! haha Much deeper than Nora's.

I told him he didn't need to stay in the sink, but I don't think he believed me. lol




He's talking to me here


This boy came named as Felix, but we are going to change it to Walter. He is VERY shy and scared right now, so I only got pictures of him in the carrier. He has the SADDEST eyes I've ever seen.


Nora seems to be fine with all of this. She saw them a couple times and was weirded out at first, but seems back to normal now that they are settled in the bathroom.

They are striking. Congratulations!

Walter was my late brother's name. He would have been 51 years old tomorrow. I love it that he has a little namesake!

I'm glad you guys like the name Walter!
I LOVE the show Fringe and absolutely adore the character Walter on it (I always just want to give him a giant hug), so that is where the name came from. The character Walter is kind of meek, and "Felix" seems that way to us, at least more so than his brother, so we thought the name fit him best.

Now to come up with a name for "Patches". Everything I've thrown at DH gets rejected, but we'll come up with something. Nora didn't receive her name until we had her for a few days.

I'm already in love with both of them!

You are an angel of the animals to have adopted them. They will come around in their time.

Great pictures. Walter looks like a Walter! Give them skritches for me!

They are adorable! That's the best part coming up with names. So far my mother has named 2, and I've named 1.

Well, we decided on a name for "Patches". He's definitely the leader of the two, a very brave boy. We decided to name him after a great leader in history, so his name is Thomas after Thomas Jefferson.
I think he definitely looks like a Thomas.

So, we have Nora, Walter, and Thomas.

Thomas is so much more handsome in your pics than the pics on Petfinder! Maybe you could put a towel in the sink for him. LOL Poor little Walter, so scared. That always breaks my heart, but with your love and care, he'll come around soon.

Once again, congratulations on your new additions!!

Congrats!! They are both quite handsome!!


I like the names too
If you're concerned about Walter being nervous, you could always try a feliway diffuser to help calm him down a bit

I agree, he's a very handsome cat and looks so different in real life. I did put a towel in the sink, but he won't sit in it now. haha

The foster mom says that Walter was the shyest of the three siblings, so it might take him a bit longer. Thomas is already a huge lover...giving huge purrs and rubbing his face on my chin. He comes to me now when I go into the bathroom, which I thought would take a lot longer. Walter still refuses to come out of the carrier, but we'll just give it time.
His foster mom said that it only took him about two days when he came to her house, but he was a little younger then. I don't know if that matters or not.
