Matteo

Enzo and Matteo are two of the sweetest boys you’ll ever meet.

They came to Revelation Gardens as small kittens as part of a trio. Their brother Rocco was adopted early on, while Enzo and Matteo stayed—and they’ve been together ever since.

These boys are loving, friendly and fun. They enjoy being cuddled, playing, exploring and spending time on their catio. Enzo is outgoing and affectionate, while Matteo tends to hang back just a little when someone new arrives. Give him a little time to decide everything is okay, though, and his loving personality comes through.

Enzo also has a look that’s entirely his own. He’s just a little cross-eyed. It doesn’t appear to interfere with his vision—it simply adds to an already pretty adorable face.

Enzo and Matteo were adopted together once, but their new home lasted only one night.

The boys were frightened by the sudden change. They cried, didn’t eat and didn’t use the litter box that first night. Their adopters decided it wasn’t going to work and asked us to come get them before Enzo and Matteo had an opportunity to adjust.

They came home to Revelation Gardens.

Since then, we’ve sometimes wondered whether these two simply think
this is their home
. They’ve grown up here. They know the routines, the people and the environment, and they’re happy.

So we’re not looking to disrupt their lives just so we can say they’ve been adopted.

But we also know what wonderful companions Enzo and Matteo could be in the right home.

Their next adopter needs to understand that the first night—or even the first several days—may not show them the Enzo and Matteo we know. They may cry. They may hide. They may need extra reassurance and patience while they learn that their new surroundings are safe.

And that’s okay.

Once given the chance to settle, there are two incredibly sweet, affectionate boys waiting to share their lives with someone.

Enzo and Matteo are bonded and will be adopted together. They are healthy, neutered and up to date on vaccinations.

They already have a home at Revelation Gardens. What we’re waiting for isn’t just another place for them to live—it’s someone willing to give them enough time for a new place to become home, too.
