Sorry for the late posting of this week’s adoptable animal, folks. Wednesday totally got away from me this week. (Seriously, I’ve no idea where it went. Lemme know if you happen to spot it, mkay?)

Anyway, on to Bert & Berta, two sweet little siblings in need of a forever home – together, of course. The pair is currently staying at the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City (HSGKC), which writes,

Date of birth: 4/26/05

8/26/09: Bert & Berta are litter mates and they would like to find a home together. Bert is a handsome brown tabby and his sister Berta is a pretty Tortoiseshell. They both have beautiful coats. They are 4 years old.

Bert & Berta came to us as kittens. Someone had found them in a dumpster. They were emaciated and sick. Bert was covered with abscesses and appeared to have been bitten by a dog. They were both scared and shy.

They have come a long ways since then. They are both very healthy and they love to play with toys. They get along extremely well with other cats. Bert’s become quite friendly with people. Berta’s still a bit bashful but she’s very sweet.

We’ve posted more photos of them on Petfinder under each of their names.

Both have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and tested for FIV and feline leukemia. They’ve been with us for a very long time and we’d like to find them a home where they can stay together.

The top photo, as you’ve no doubt already surmised, is of Bert; here’s a photo of his sis’, Berta:

If you’d like to adopt Bert and Berta, get thee to the HSGKC, stat!

If you’re all nerdy like me, you can also follow them (the HSGKC, not Bert and Berta, silly!) on the twitters: @HSGKC.

Each Wednesday, the Kansas City Freecycle blog will feature one adoptable animal from a local KC rescue group or animal shelter.

We do this for several reasons:

- To highlight the plight of abused, neglected and/or homeless non-human animals in the Kansas City (and surrounding) area.

- To remind members of our no-animal policy, and provide an alternative venue for members who wish to adopt an unwanted animal companion.

- To encourage members to adopt a furry, feathered or scaled friend.

- To help out out local animal rescue groups and animal shelters, many of which are overwhelmed by the sheer number of animals in need.

- To illustrate these animals’ unique personalities and characteristics, thus underscoring the fact that they are not objects and should not be “freecycled”.
