Fig & Vanilla

About Fig & Vanilla (Domestic short hair) in New York

Fig & Vanilla is waiting for you at Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition, Inc. in United States. Meet Fig & Vanilla – Sisters, Soulmates, and Champions of the One-Eyed Club Fig and Vanilla are a bonded pair of sisters with only one eye between them—but don’t tell them that. They have absolutely no idea they’re different from any other cats, and they’ll prove it daily with zoomies, curiosity, and plenty of love. Fig, the darker gray beauty with one working eye, is the “hunter” of the pair—pouncing on toys, scouting out treats, and always keeping an eye (literally) on her surroundings. She’s also the velcro cat of the duo: a snuggler who wants to be as close to you as possible—on your lap, by your feet, behind your head on the chair, or tucked next to you in bed. She’s a little rounder than her sister thanks to her love for dry food and her past as a mama cat, but she’s full of purrs and affection and wears her curves proudly. Vanilla, with her soft, mostly white coat and no eyesight at all, is the gentler soul—but don’t be fooled by her lack of vision. She’s a surprisingly fearless explorer, moving through her environment with cautious grace. Her quiet bravery is nothing short of inspiring—she’ll slowly map out a room, take a mental note of everything, and then zoom through it when she’s ready (especially if wet food is involved!). It may take her longer to bond, but once she does, she’ll sit beside you, lean into your leg, and silently “watch” your every move in her own intuitive way. These two are independent at times and cuddly at others. You’ll often find them curled up together, but they’re just as comfortable doing their own thing. What unites them most—aside from their deep sisterly bond—is their shared love of food. Shake the treat bag or crack open a can, and you’ll be met with a chorus of excited meows — Fig sounding like a cat, and Vanilla sounding suspiciously like a tiny person yelling. Despite their visual impairments, they play like any other
