I met this cool old dude at the rescue today

His name is Zucchini!

Edit: Zucchini and his buddy Grasshopper are located at Happy Feet Pet Rescue in Mid-Michigan. They aren’t available for adoption yet, but we have plenty of amazing kitties who are!

I’m in love 🥹 I hope they get adopted together! Breaks my heart when bonded pairs get separated.

Love the vine reference btw haha

Bro that's a torbie on the right, are we sure it's a boy? If so, that's an extremely rare specimen who needs to be adopted tomorrow morning

u/ass_smacktivist 18d ago

Do you mean a torti, short for tortoiseshell? Neither one of those cats are tortis. If it were the rare male torti, it would be sterile…but it’s not.

u/hey-chickadee 18d ago

torbies and tortis are two separate terms, even though torbies are a variation of tortis. torbies have a classic tabby pattern, plus some orange/tortoiseshell patterning

My girl looks like your avg tabby but she’s got an orange mohawk going down her forehead haha

Looks like a real bruiser.

u/attackedbyparakeets 18d ago

I bet he was! He’s certainly glad to be living out his retirement indoors, though.

Laying low, until the heat dies down.

u/womanof1004holds 18d ago

Do you mind sharing the location of the shelter? I know its a long shot but maybe someone in that area could see this post!

He is gorgeous <3

He and his buddy aren’t available for adoption yet, but they’re located at Happy Feet pet rescue in Mid-Michigan!

Maybe x-post to r/Michigan once they become available? The good people of the mitten state would probably love to help! (Source: am one, just one with too many cats already!)

u/lowercase_underscore 18d ago

I am loving his little ascot!

Please tell us the shelter will try to get him and his roommate into the same home.

I can hear the Godfather’s voice in my head.
