Phineas and Scratch came to LCCR separately, but over time became bonded.

When Phineas was trapped and brought to us his left ear was frostbitten and his right eye was injured. But after some TLC at The Ranch he's feeling much better.

Phineas looks like a big black house panther, but he's actually a shy softie. He doesn't like loud noises or quick movements, so he should live in a home free of dogs and children. Phineas is a bit timid so you need to take a slow approach. Let him check you out and give you a sniff, and then he's likely to let you give him a head rub, which he adores!

Phineas often likes to sleep inside his hut or other little caves or dens. We'll often find him tucked away for a nap with only his little back feet sticking out. If you give those little tootsies a pet you'll discover he is incredibly soft. Once he has warmed up to you, he loves head rubs and scratches under his chin and behind his ears. He's a gentle boy who will relax as you love on him.

Scratch came from a colony of cats being cared for by a kind lady. She noticed that he was an outsider among the other cats and that he had few survival skills. When his condition started to deteriorate she reached out to LCCR for help.

Scratch lived up to his name when he first arrived. But over time and as he started to realize that he was safe, he began to relax bit by bit. He does not like to let people touch him, but he no longer runs and hides as soon as the volunteers arrive at the Ranch. He is always seen hanging around and is almost always near his new best buddy, Phineas. They eat together, sleep together, and walk side by side with tails entwined.

Scratch and Phineas need to be adopted into a home together where their new family can give them the love and patience they deserve. In a home environment, Scratch's true colours will shine.
