Rexphiles

🎉 ADOPTED 🎉
⭐️Garrus and Wrex⭐️
WREX and GARRUS are two very handsome 6-year-old CORNISH REX’s. Both boys have are neutered, have all their claws, are FIV/FeLV negative, microchipped and fully vaccinated. Wrex is the larger of the two with big yellow/green eyes, a slender long body and a short orange curly coat. Garrus is a smaller boy with bog blue eyes and a velvety soft seal bi-color coat.

💚Wrex and Garrus are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together. Wrex is the more confident/outgoing one. They are both incredibly sweet and LOVE to cuddle/snuggle. Wrex is more adventures and inquisitive. He loves to explore and check things out. He also loves to cuddle with his brother, rub up against your legs and snuggle under the covers. Garrus is a sweet and gentle soul who takes a little longer to come out of his shell, but once he does he is purring and rolling all over asking for attention. Both boys enjoy tall cat trees, looking out sunny windows, heated beds/blankets and a warm lap or person to cuddle with.

💚The best home for these boys would be a quieter home where someone is home a lot. No dogs, a gentle cat friendly cat would be ok with a slow and proper introduction. No younger kids, older respectful teens would be fine. These boys are very special and a home with prior experience with this breed or similar breed would be fantastic.

💚Wrex and Garrus both use the litter box well along with scratching posts/pads. They enjoy both dry and wet food. Garrus is a bit of a picky eater, while his brother Wrex is not. Both boys love Bonito Flakes sprinkled on their food as a treat and Tiki Cat tube treats. Wrex and Garrus are a rare breed to get into the rescue and they are a fabulous pair that are sure to bring lots of love to the right home. If you are looking for two very affectionate lap cats and have the time to love and cherish them, than apply right away.

A determined troop of Girl Scouts worked for months to create a rainbow bridge to honor pets who have passed away -- and they weren't going to let a cowardly act of vandalism stop them from holding their dedication ceremony this week! Girl Scout Troop 508, a group of fourth and fifth graders from Our Lady of the Snows in Reno, Nevada, built "The Biggest Little Rainbow Bridge" at Crissie Caughlin Park as their Junior Bronze Award community service project. Two weeks after finishing the paint job, and just before they were going to add the finishing touches, someone poured white paint over the rainbow-colored tribute. Undeterred by what many in the community viewed as an act of anti-LGBTQ bigotry, the girls responded by rolling up their sleeves and repainting every stripe.

Before breaking ground, the young scouts surveyed 230 local students and found that over 82% had been significantly affected by pet loss, with nearly 67% saying it would help to have a special place to mourn. When they pitched the idea to the Reno City Council last May, Mayor Hillary Schieve told them, "You knocked my socks off." The city described the finished bridge as "a beautiful and peaceful place to mourn the loss of our beloved four-legged family members who have crossed the rainbow bridge into the great beyond" -- a reference to a poem written over 60 years ago that imagines a peaceful meadow where beloved animals wait to reunite with the people who loved them.

The city called the girls' response to the vandalism "inspiring." With help from the Parks Department, Troop 508 repainted the memorial and held their ribbon-cutting ceremony on December 7 as scheduled. Reno Police filed a report and continue to investigate, asking anyone with information to contact RPD. The vandalism follows a pattern seen across the country, where numerous rainbow crosswalks created as signs of support and solidarity with the LGBTQ community have been vandalized with paint around the country in recent years, from Nashville to Seattle to Huntington, West Virginia.

The incident sparked widespread speculation that the bridge was targeted by someone who mistook the rainbow colors for an LGBTQ symbol rather than a tribute to pets. "Conservatives [say] 'liberals are snowflakes and are offended by everything' yet here they are so threatened by gay people that they defaced a rainbow bridge made by children to memorialize their pets. Insane," wrote one commenter on a post by local news outlet Our Town Reno. Another added: "Homophobia and transphobia affect EVERYONE. Even though this was for pets that passed on, hatred in people's hearts over LGBT identities is what caused this because that is the only thing they think of when they see a rainbow."

In the end, the vandal with hate in their heart failed. The bridge stands, the ribbon has been cut, and the "dedicated Girl Scout Troop 508" -- as the city called them -- created exactly what they set out to build: "a beautiful and peaceful place to mourn the loss of our beloved four-legged family members who have crossed the rainbow bridge into the great beyond and reflect on the memories we have made with them."

Kudos to these mighty Girl Scouts for not letting an act of hate dim their rainbow!
