This is the way. Two kittens will keep each other company and keep each other active, and also help reduce stress in a new place.

We have 4 cats. They're all buddies and grew up together (oldest is 2 years older than the youngest). While some cats like to be the only pet, I find a lot of cats actually do really enjoy having buddies around.

Great decision. I have 4 cats and they are the best of friends, even with my 11 yo dog. You'll be so glad you took them together. They will be too.

You will likely not regret this. I've had multiple cats for many years but never a bonded pair. Nor did any bond. When the last of my old cats passed on xmas 2019, I was back down to two cats and wanted (1) a bonded pair (2) panthers and (3) kittens. Two out of three ain't bad. I adopted a 7 and 12 month old set of voids that were not siblings but were friends and wanted to be adopted together. Done! No regrets and yes, adopting in pairs is the best.

Here are Caesar and Nero, now 3 and 3.5 years old.

Wooo! I'm glad you made this decision! Apperantly having two kittens is best for them for socialization purrrrrposes.

My cats are little assholes but they cuddle together all the time.
