Pet Of the Week

Jackson and Sydney

Sherry has been agonizing over the decision to release her cats for adoption for some time, after she experienced a blossoming dating relationship that turned into a Christmas engagement to a man who is highly asthmatic.

Sherry’s cats are almost 2 years old. The siblings, Jackson and Sydney, have beautiful black-brown sable coats, and their large size is that of America’s oldest natural longhaired breed called the Maine coon.

The breed is known to be independent and playful, which seem to be true of the pair.

Their gentle disposition would make them relaxed around dogs.

“Jackson and Sydney are very attached to each other and constantly fly through the air chasing their favorite toy furry mice. In the morning the toys are all over the bedroom floor like they have brought them to me as gifts,” Sherry said. “But when they retire they like to cuddle up on the bed with me.”
