Pinot Noir And Veuve Cliqcat Are Bedminster's Pet Of The Week

BERNARDSVILLE-BEDMINSTER, NJ — Meet Pinot Noir and Veuve Cliqcat! They have been chosen as Bernardsville-Bedminster Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"Pinot Noir (black cat) and Veuve Cliqcat (grey cat) are two rescue kittens from a local barn in Bedminster.

I work at a barn on River Road, one day my trainer caught these two little feral devils and wanted to save them. They were only about 4-5 weeks old at the time. Pinot was not friendly at all, Veuve was very curious about humans.

I offered to take them home, make them friendly and try to find homes for them. My boyfriend and I live in the Bedminster Hills with our dog Skylar. We fell in love with these two little weirdos. They are now almost one and a half.

They love to watch birds from our window, sit in boxes, play with their toys and cause general chaos in our home. We wouldn’t trade them for the world! And yes, they are named after my favorite wine and champagne, why have cats if they can’t have funny names?!

Unfortunately, their mother was too smart to be caught to have spayed. We try to trap the feral cats around our area to have them spayed and neutered. We know not every litter of kittens is as lucky as our Pinot and Veuve."
