Pippin and Priscilla originally came to Safe Haven as bonded older kittens. They quickly found a home together with a quiet person who dearly loved her kittens. Not exposed to other cats and people, the sisters’ bond with each other and their “mom” became very strong. However, three years later, their adoptive mom had to move, and could not take Pippin and Priscilla.

Returning to Safe Haven, the sisters were thrust into a new, uncomfortable environment with many other cats and people, far outside their comfort zone. For months, they hid under a blanket on the couch in their room. Because they were so shy, it took much longer than normal for them to find the right new home. Almost two years passed before they were adopted again, and unfortunately this was not their much-desired forever home. And so they found their way back to Safe Haven once more.

This time around, the girls had a shorter wait. A couple from Forks came to Safe Haven and took Pippin and Priscilla home. It is a wonderful environment for the girls, providing a safe outdoor area as well as everything a self-respecting cat could ask for in a home. On cold nights, there is a wood stove to keep them warm. Pippin sits in front of the fire and watches the flames. Priscilla is more interested in curling up to sleep.

They love to sit in the living room window and watch the birds. In the summer they bring in moths and turn them
loose – it takes their parents quite a while to find them! They have also brought bugs in to their parents, and one day they accidentally brought in a dog. The neighbor’s dog had managed to get under the fence, came over to play and followed the girls inside. When the girls realized that the dog was in the house, they chased it back outside.

Best of all, there is a nice long couch in the living room. Pippin and Priscilla have taken it over and like to curl up
there often – one on each end. They are happy girls, with no more need to hide. And no blankets required!
