Mowgli and Bagheera Need Your Help

In the 1967 Disney film “The Jungle Book,” Mowgli and Bagheera are not related. They aren’t even the same species. Mowgli is a little boy lost in the jungle and Bagheera is the black panther who finds him.

But at the Marblehead Animal Shelter, Mowgli and Bagheera are brothers who both look like small versions of the famous Disney movie’s Bagheera. The cats do have something in common with Mowgli, however, they are lost.

Mowgli and Bagheera were surrendered to the animal shelter and are looking for their forever home. These brothers are inseparable and therefore can only be adopted together.

The Friends of Marblehead’s Abandoned Animals describes Mowgli and Bagheera as “round, firm, snugly/cuddly cats with eyes that sparkle like gold carnival glass.”

They are said to be very soft, lovable and in good health. The animal shelter estimates Mowgli and Bagheera to be about one-year-old.

Anyone interested in meeting Mowgli and Bagheera can stop by the Marblehead Animal Shelter, 44 Village St., on Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Fridays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays from noon to 6 p.m. or Sundays from noon to 3 p.m.

For more information, call the animal shelter at 781 631-8664.
