Once a week, we will highlight a pet -- or pets -- available to be adopted... 

NAMES: Waverly and Hampden

OWNER: Being fostered by Erin Harty via the Maryland Feline Society

HOW THEY MET: Waverly and "Hammie" were feral kittens trapped by city animal control in August 2008 at Lyndhurst Elementary School. They went to a foster home and were adopted out last fall, but were returned this spring because a child in their new home developed severe asthma.

AGE: 11-12 months

HOME: Baltimore (Pigtown).

BREED: Waverly is a domestic longhair female while Hampden is a domestic shorthair male.

BEST TRICK: Waverly can open just about any door without a latch… cabinet doors, closet doors, etc. Nothing and no one are safe from her prying paws!

FAVORITE ACTIVITY: Hampden loves sleeping on sunny windowsills. Waverly likes to curl up on your pillow and snuggle at night.

FAVORITE FOOD: Pounce cat treats

WHY THEY STAY TOGETHER: Hampden and Waverly have been bounced around a lot during their short lives, but have never been separated and are very bonded to one another. That's why they're being offered for adoption as a pair. They can be shy, so they would do best in a quiet home with a patient and cat-savvy person.

MOTTO: Two cats are double the fun!
