So, I am seriously debating adopting two beautiful brother cats (there are 3 brothers, but I can barely get 2 with my renting situation). Sadly, they are 3 year old cats that have been at the shelter since December of 2010. They have never lived in a home. The shelter says that they aren't "the friendliest of cats," and I am guessing that is due to lack of socialization or living anywhere other than a cage.
Does anyone have tips on what I could do to help them be ok with me and my home if I adopt them? I believe that they still have a chance to be happy and loved, and I would hate them to have to spend forever in a shelter.
There would be no other pets. It would just be me, my 16 year old autistic son (he won't bother them other than by being loud at times), and the goldfish. Any ideas would greatly help me in my decision making.
Thanks!
