Meet Duckie & Poppet! You’ll have to look very close to tell these two apart, if you can get them apart. This inseparable pair were thrown together by fate, and have become the very best of friends. Duckie was adopted as a kitten but returned when her human family had twins & then a third child. There was so much cacophony that she was overwhelmed & stressed, so her family felt it best that she be returned to CAWS to find her a quieter home. Poppet was part of a community colony when the caretaker noticed that he wasn’t doing well. (He’s the one with the ear tip.) A trip to the vet revealed that he was blocked & was unable to urinate. CAWS took on his care & the vet was able to get thing flowing. But when he blocked again within days, surgery (perineal urethrostomy) was required. These two can be a bit shy at first, but they warm up quickly because they have each other. They are the sweetest little chirpers when they want attention, they love to be brushed, and they love bird watching out the window from their perch. Poppet does require a prescription food to keep his urinary issues at bay and Duckie does just fine on it as well.
