An urgent appeal, please read:

My name is Brendan. I’m a Corporal in the United States Army Reserve. The charming fellows in this picture are Heyzeus (left) and Andy.

I’ve received word recently that my unit is in all likelihood being called up for a deployment to Afghanistan this year, probably starting in May but perhaps even as early as the first of March. These guys are the only two things of mine that I don’t have a place to put while I’m gone. They’re also the most important to me.

Heyzeus, on the left, likes to think of himself as a big, gregarious tough guy, but is really just a sweet mush. It’s pretty standard for him to curl up on a person’s lap within seconds of meeting them. He’ll turn seven this year.

Andy is a little timid, but warms up to new people fairly quickly. He’s extremely talkative, and has a way of following people around and meowing until he’s petted. He has a way of chirping when he purrs, which is all the time. He’ll also lick your hand until you take it away from him. He’s six years old.

Both are neutered with no history of health problems. Neither is declawed. They’ve both lived with dogs and other cats. They love going outside when the weather is nice. They’re incredibly affectionate, loving animals with sweet and funny personalities.

These guys are my best buds and it’s absolutely imperative that I place them in a good home with a loving caretaker. I’d happily pay you up front for the cost of food and litter, plus a little something for your trouble. I’d need to know I can retrieve them when I come back, and that they would be in good hands should something happen to me. It would help if you live in the New York City area as that’s where most of my friends and family live and that would ease communication in both directions in case of emergency.

These boys are my family, please help. Thank you.
