Hi, I'm Ash of Ash and Brutus! I am a Beautiful 5 year old Brown and Black with Black stripes DSH (so is Brutus his brother) who is being surrendered because his owner has to return to Bolivia and cannot take them as she is fearful of the 12K altitude for them and she wants them to have a great home. Ash was adopted from HRA Foster care with the name of Ash given to him by the foster (his original name was Draal). Ash is described as a cat who likes to play hard with his brother. Ash is not necessarily a lap cat but he does like to be close to you as you sit on a chair or couch. Plus he will follow you from room to room just to be with you. He affectionate and loves pets, is very curious and likes to interact with people. His favorite hiding place is the closet! In addition to playing with his brother he loves to chase pencils, pens, balls and running water!! He will try and catch treats if you toss them to him! He will sit next to you but is not fond of laps or of being picked up and snuggled. He is very disciplined in the use of a litter box and does like a scratching post. PS: The best was to tell them apart is that Ash is smaller than Brutus.
