In need of a forever home: Ancho and Annatto

Ancho and Annatto, domestic short hair
Ancho and Annatto have quite literally grown up in the shelter, having been waiting for adoption since April. They're in search of a forever home together.
These two came to us from a high-kill shelter where they were scheduled to be euthanized. Staff described them as completely feral, wanting nothing to do with people. After being sent to a foster home, they quickly learned that humans weren't so bad. Since then, they have learned trust, and slowly, these terrified little kittens turned into the sweetest orange boys. Now, they're waiting for the day they can finally go to their forever home.
Annatto has blossomed into a social butterfly and happily chats with anyone who will listen. His favorite thing is stretching out in the sunshine.
Ancho is still figuring out how to be a spoiled house cat. He's more reserved, but has discovered that pets are pretty wonderful. He'll need a little patience as he settles into a new home. Both are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and house trained.
