Violet & Edith

Description

PLEASE — Edith and Violet Need You, Urgently Hi. I'm Violet. I don't know a gentle way to say this, so I'm just going to say it plainly: my mommy is losing her home. It's not her fault — nothing she did wrong, nothing she could have stopped. But because of it, Edith and I are about to lose the only safe place we've ever known. And I'm scared. Please, please read this. I need you to understand something about us first, though. Edith and I — we've already survived the unsurvivable. We were born on a property that was being cleared, and our mama had to run for her life. She couldn't get back to us. We were left behind, just the two of us, the only ones in our whole litter who made it. We were tiny. Dehydrated. Cold. Starving. Covered in fleas. We looked like two wrinkled little old ladies — that's actually why we got our names. And through all of that, do you know what we did? We clung to each other. We held on. And somehow, together, we lived. That's who we are at our core. We are proof that love and togetherness can pull you through anything. And now we need somebody to prove that to us one more time. Since then, we've grown into these silly, beautiful, affectionate girls, and I want you to know exactly who you'd be welcoming in. I take breakfast very seriously — I'll nudge you or pat your ankle with my paw to let you know it's time. And if you're moving a little too slow for my taste? I will reach right out, tap you on the arm, and give you one good, pointed "meeeOowww!" just so there's no confusion — Edith and I are waiting, and we'd appreciate some urgency, thank you very much. Edith has her own little quirk too — she likes to drink from the bathroom faucet and will patiently wait for you to turn it on for her. Both of us absolutely lose our minds over toys and laser dot hunting. We take off running full speed, and I promise you, it is the funniest thing you will ever see — we hit a corner too fast, lose all traction, and go sliding sideways like a couple of superbike racers leaning way too hard into a turn. We are not graceful. We do not care. It is a whole comedy show, every single time. We LOVE Temptations and Churu — offer us either and you'll have us for life. Edith enjoys a little catnip now and then; I want absolutely nothing to do with it — I'm very much a "just say no" kind of girl. Give us a cozy hideout up high, or better yet, an empty cardboard box, and you will have handed us the keys to paradise. Given everything we've already survived out there, we're hoping for a home where we stay safely inside — we're strictly indoor-only girls now, and that's exactly how we'd love to stay. Warm, protected, and never out in the world alone again. But please, understand this above everything else: we are a package deal. Our bond isn't something that can be split — it's the thing that kept us alive when nothing else could. Whoever takes us in gets double the love, double the silliness, and a bond so strong it survived what should have been unsurvivable. We don't have much time left to find that person. Please — if you have room in your home and your heart for two little old-lady-named survivors who've already proven just how much love they can give, reach out today. We're waiting (impatiently, in my case, especially around breakfast) and hoping with everything we have that it's you.
