Despite the fact that their mother and other siblings also came at the Jackson County Animal Shelter alongside Sour Cream and Onion, they have always shared a unique kinship. The two are inseparable and spent every moment together in the shelter, which occasionally made it difficult for the workers taking care of them.
As the animal services director at the Jackson County Animal Shelter, Lydia Sattler, explained to The Dodo, “They spent so much time being as near to each other as possible, it was often hard to determine where one began and the other ended.”
One day, the employees saw Sour Cream and Onion relaxing together and thought they looked so adorable that they had to take a photo. Everyone who saw it went absolutely crazy for the cute twosome. They called the pair of them a “two-headed kitty” and uploaded a picture of them on their Facebook page.
The shelter advertised, “Rare Find: Adopt this 2-headed cat and you get a terrific deal.”
The staff at the shelter had no idea how much controversy the picture would spark as people argued about whether the adorable kittens were indeed a two-headed cat or two separate kittens.
Although they don’t technically have two heads, Sour Cream and Onion sure do appear like one when they’re all knotted up.
Fortunately, everyone else could see how much the siblings loved one another and opposed their separation. A woman recently adopted the pair as a unit after falling in love with them at first sight.
We always support her decision to come to the shelter to adopt them even though she was supposed to be at work at the time, according to Sattler.
Now that they are living together, Sour Cream and Onion have the best place to cuddle and spend their days looking like the cutest two-headed kittens ever.
