New to ARK are these two sweet young boys, the tuxedoed Izanagi and all-black Fujin.

Two of four kittens that were rescued in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, they are most likely siblings.

A big, sweet boy, Fujin was incredibly timid when first rescued but he has now become reasonably comfortable with people. He will allow you to pet him and he’ll even look happy about it. His greatest talent is his ability to disappear — he’s great at hiding.

Izanagi is also shy but able to be bribed with treats into engaging with people. And, he’ll completely forget his shyness when someone breaks out a toy.

Izanagi and Fujin are currently with a foster family and it’s very clear the two love each other, as they often press their noses together. We’re hoping to find a kind soul that will adopt this pair together.

If you are interested in adopting, email ARK at [email protected] or call 050-1557-2763 (English or Japanese) Monday to Saturday (bilingual) for more information.
