The Animal Welfare Society in Kennebunk, Maine found these two brothers a perfect home, but more homes are needed.

The Animal Welfare Society loves kitties Earl Grey and his brother Stormy. But they knew it was time for them to find a forever home. They are best buds and needed a home that could take both as they are a ‘bonded’ pair. They can’t be separated, which I think makes them even more adorable.

How old are brother kitties at AWS in Kennebunk, Maine?

These sweet boys are about 8 months old and are almost identical. People ask – how do you tell them apart? Well, Earl Gray has a little more white fur on his upper lip than his brother does. And here’s another difference – Earl Gray is more outgoing than Stormy. He’s what you might call a wallflower, so EG is usually the first one to venture over to explore a new part of the house or greet a new visitor.

Don’t worry, Stormy doesn’t hide in the corners forever. It takes him a little while to warm up, but then he’s right by Earl Gray’s side playing, exploring, and bird-watching. They love being together.

Are Earl Gray and Stormy people cats?

Yes! They love their people! They are very loving, loyal cats who like to sandwich their people on the couch for a good snuggle session. And what’s better than the warmth of two cats by your side on a cool fall evening? Absolutely nothing. They are easygoing, fun, and playful, they love each other and have new people to love!

There are other cats that need their forever home at the Animal Welfare Society in Kennebunk, Maine.

This is Gizmo. He’s almost 12 years old and very chill. He’s an indoor/outdoor cat who loves exploring outside during the day and snuggling up with his person/people at night. Maybe you are the perfect match for this sweet boy.

For more information on your new forever cat, just contact the Animal Welfare Society. They are open daily and you don’t need an appointment!

BRADLEY, Maine (WABI) – The Maine Forest and Logging Museum in Bradley Maine celebrated their annual Living History Days Saturday, October 5th, and Sunday, October 6th.

The event, which ran from 10am to 3pm, featured horse-drawn wagon rides, fresh-pressed cider, and reenactors bringing us back to colonial and civil war times.

The Maine Forest and Logging Museum is a nonprofit organization focused on presenting Maine’s forests through a cultural lens.

The museum hosts a myriad of events, but it’s Living History Days that bring patrons to the era of sawmills and blacksmiths.

The heart of the reenactments took place at Leonard’s Mills, the site of an actual pioneer settlement that has since been rebuilt.

Besides reenactors, the site features a plethora of tools and machinery that would have been used at the time, from looms to sawmills.

Living History events began in the 1980′s with the first event featuring bean hole beans.

These celebrations have since only gotten bigger, showcasing to modern audiences what the various facets of colonial life would have been like.

It’s not just fun and games though — events like this provide a learning opportunity for children and adults alike.

“There’s so many museums where you come out to see things, and the best you can do is get twenty feet away behind a wall or a rope or something. Here you can come up and actually touch things and interact with people, making them work, and it’s a lot more fun. You can learn a lot more actually seeing things, going and helping out with it, they’re always looking for more volunteers and people want to come out and help,” said Chris Reuby, a volunteer at the museum.

“Take stock and see how far we’ve come from 1863, take stock and see how much we’ve learned. We don’t want to go backwards. We can’t go backwards. The clock only goes in one direction, it goes forward,” said David Sulin, one of the Civil War reenactors at the event.

Living History Days has concluded for this year, but will return October 4th and October 5th next year.
