Meet Butterfinger & Reeces Butterfinger and Reeces are two handsome brown silky tabby boys whose world has recently been turned upside down.

For two boys who have never known life apart, this has been a lot to process. They are currently adjusting to a new environment surrounded by many other cats, each with their own personalities, and understandably, they are feeling a little overwhelmed.

28. Butterfinger

Young · Male · Tabby · 92 mi from Bakersfield

Meet Butterfinger & Reeces Butterfinger and Reeces are two handsome brown silky tabby boys whose world has recently been turned upside down. These sweet brothers spent their entire lives in the same home after being adopted as tiny kittens. Sadly, due to an allergy that developed in their home, they were recently returned and are now facing the difficult transition of starting over just as they are nearing adulthood. For two boys who have never known life apart, this has been a lot to process. They are currently adjusting to a new environment surrounded by many other cats, each with their own personalities, and understandably, they are feeling a little overwhelmed.

Why adopt an adult cat in Bakersfield

An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.

Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
