Two feline brothers, Wellie (tabby) and Wally (black) arrived at Best Friends Animal Society (in L.A.), hoping for a chance at a better life.

Wellie was nervous and confused, shivering in the corner of the kennel. His brother, Wally, was calmer and more playful, even with a ruptured eye. “They had some flea dirt on them, which led me to believe they were most likely found outside before being brought to a shelter,” Frankie, their foster mom, shared with Love Meow.

Shortly after arriving at their foster home, their demeanor changed, especially Wellie’s.

“They started to feel at home and comfortable soon after getting into foster. Wellie went from anxious to the cuddliest boy once he knew he was in a safe place.”

He switched on his purr motor, rediscovered his squeaky meow, and eagerly sought attention. Within days, he transformed from a trembling kitten into a purr machine.

“Wellie has become a little puddle of cuddles and purrs. He is always the first to greet me with friendly meows and a snuggle. He radiates love and is no longer afraid but instead, a social butterfly who loves to be loved.”

Meanwhile, Wally remained as cool as a cucumber, completely unfazed by his eye treatment.

“I am amazed at his resilience. Wally carries on as if nothing is wrong and is the happiest boy, playing with his brother without a care in the world and full of happy purrs.”

Wellie showers Wally with snuggles, playfully holding him down with both arms to clean his face.

The two share an inseparable bond—you won’t see one without the other. Like partners in mischief, they romp around the room, stirring up all sorts of antics. Once they wear themselves out, they curl up together and drift off to sleep.

“I love a good squeak, but the purrs when Wellie wraps himself around his brother is my favorite part.”

Wellie seeks out his brother, making sure he’s always near. Wally leans into Wellie for comfort, often resting his head on him like a pillow

“They love taking naps on my lap, play-fighting, climbing their scratching post, and cuddling each other. I can’t think of a more picture-perfect pair to complete a home and family.”

When Wally was old enough, his left eye was removed to improve his quality of life. As soon as he came out of surgery, Wellie went straight to him and nestled right beside him.

“Wellie immediately comforted his brother post-surgery, and Wally woke up purring.”

“They have always been affectionate with each other and very playful, but that bond grew even more after Wally’s eye surgery. Wellie really stepped up and was so protective over his brother. You could tell he knew his brother needed healing, and Wellie was the best nurse to him.”

“I have never met two kittens purr so loud and consistently before in my life.”

The once skittish cat has blossomed into “the world’s cuddliest boy.” Wellie adores being cradled by his humans, soaking up all the affection.

“No one thrives in a kennel. This is one of the reasons why fostering is so important. Wellie was always a cuddly, happy boy; he just needed the right environment for his true self to shine through.”

From the very first day, Frankie hoped the two brothers would remain together. Yesterday, their dream came true.

“Wally and Wellie have been adopted together. Now, they will never have to know of a life without each other. Their mom will be spending the week getting ready for their arrival and is so excited to love and spoil them forever.”
