Second Chance Pets 3-12

Dolce and Gabbana

Dolce and Gabbana are gorgeous one-year-old Russian blue siblings that were rescued from an animal shelter.  The history of the Russian Blue is shrouded in mystery. Some believe the breed originated on the Archangel Isles in Northern Russia, and was brought to Europe by sailors in the 1800s. Legend states that the Russian Blue is a descendant of the royal cats owned by the Russian Czars. 

 

They were originally called the Archangel Cat.  Russian Blues are famous for their plush blue coat-uniform in color from one cat to another. The coat has a silvery sheen, the result of silver tipping on the hair.  These siblings are fine examples of the breed. Dolce is a little shy at first, but loves pets, head-rubs and CANNED FOOD!  Gabbana is a regal, sweet male.  And even at a year, they still have a lot of kitten left in them!
