a few times. Initially, Ash was surrendered to WARL when his owner lost her home. He was very good with the woman’s 5-year-old child. Ash was adopted by another woman who had Muffin, a grumpy cat 10-year-old cat. The cats bonded quickly then their owner died. When we reunited the cats in an office, Muffin buried herself under a blanket while Ash sat next to her to keep her company. They were adopted together by a disabled woman a year ago. Unfortunately, her health deteriorated, and she had to return the cats. Ash is a laid-back cat; nothing bothers him, which makes him the perfect match for Muffin. She needs time to adjust to your home. She is a complainer who above all does not want to be picked up. She will come to you when she wants something. Ash and Muffin must be adopted together
