'Loving' Biscotti And Pignoli: Northport Adoptable Pets Of The Week

NORTHPORT, NY — Biscotti and Pignoli, 9-month-old bonded brothers, are the Northport Cat Rescue Association's Kittens of the Week.

The boys were "thrown out of their home as young kittens and left to fend for themselves," according to Lora Wild, a volunteer with the rescue.

"They stuck together, walking over to any person they would see for help, crying and reaching up to them for affection," Wild said. "Luckily, a wonderful lady took them in and found out that the only reason they were tossed out was because the people who had them were bored with them. That is not something that a sweet and innocent kitten would understand. They are so well behaved, and so loving. How could they find themselves out in the elements trying to fend for themselves? They did nothing wrong and deserve better. So now that they are in our care, we will do everything we can to find them a home that will take care and love them forever."

Wild said Biscotti and Pignoli need to be adopted together because they are brothers, best friends, and provide each other with the "only consistency" they have had in their lives.

Biscotti is a brown tabby while Pignoli is a gray tabby.

"Their eyes are beautiful and have so much expression to them," Wild said. "If they could talk, I am sure they would tell us their story. They both have kindness in their hearts and souls…they show no resentment. They are special. Never have I fostered such affectionate kittens."

They love to be held, and Pignoli will place his head on someone's shoulder while they hold him like a baby. Biscotti will start purring the minute someone starts petting him.

"Pignoli is very chatty and has the cutest chirp," Wild said. "They follow you around like dogs. They will jump in your lap at the same time; one giving you kisses while the other is pawing at you gently for pets. They get along with cats, dogs, children, and adults. All they want is love and attention, each other and of course, a forever home."

They are currently at Petco Commack, curled up together.

"If you visit them and talk to them, they will come to the window and reach out their paws to you," Wild said. "They will simply melt your heart."

Biscotti and Pignoli are neutered, have all their shots, are litter box-trained, micro-chipped and FELV/FIV negative.
