Twix and Kit Kat began life in one of the worst places imaginable for a growing cat family. Someone left a rusted bird cage outside Abandoned Pet Rescue in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with mother cat Godiva and four kittens crammed inside. The kittens were Hershey, Twix, Kit Kat, and M&M. Godiva was losing weight, and the babies were still too young to manage without her, so a foster home took the entire family in.
Godiva, Hershey, and M&M eventually found homes, but Twix and Kit Kat were still waiting as of mid-August 2026. The sisters are not described as identical personalities. Twix is outgoing, adventurous, and quick to seek people, while Kit Kat takes more time before warming up. Both grew into healthy, social young cats after foster care, giving adopters a chance to choose between two very different temperaments rather than judging them by the cage where their story started.
Five Cats Shared One Cage
The family was discovered outside Abandoned Pet Rescue, a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale. A mother cat and four kittens had been packed into a bird cage that was never designed to house cats safely or comfortably. The rescue named the mother Godiva and identified the kittens as Hershey, Twix, Kit Kat, and M&M. Their arrival immediately created two priorities: protecting the kittens while they were still dependent on their mother and helping Godiva regain condition after she had begun losing weight.
Foster Care Changed Everything
A foster caregiver took the whole family home so the kittens could continue growing with their mother in a safer environment. That decision allowed Godiva to remain with her litter while she recovered rather than separating the kittens unnecessarily. Love Meow reports that the youngsters became playful, affectionate, and well socialized during foster care. Once they were old enough, the kittens returned to the shelter for adoption. The bird cage became part of their rescue history, but it did not define how they behaved once given space and routine.
Three Family Members Found Homes
The family’s adoption story unfolded unevenly. Godiva found a home, and siblings Hershey and M&M were adopted as they came of age. Twix and Kit Kat remained behind. By August 15, 2026, Abandoned Pet Rescue was still featuring the sisters among its adoptable animals. They were no longer tiny kittens by then, which can change how shelter visitors see them. Their story shows why rescue groups continue promoting animals after the first wave of kitten interest passes and why updated personality details can matter more than baby photos.
Twix Is the Explorer
Twix is the more adventurous sister. Shelter staff describe her as an explorer who climbs high cat trees, investigates new perches, and throws herself into play with rolling or crinkling toys. Her interest in people is just as obvious. She waits near the room entrance for attention and has developed a memorable habit of standing on her hind legs while leaning against the wall to keep a petting session going. Those repeated observations give adopters concrete information about how she likes to interact in daily shelter life.
Kit Kat Takes Her Time
Kit Kat makes a quieter first impression. Staff say she often hangs back when someone enters rather than immediately rushing over. After a few minutes, however, she begins seeking pets and settles comfortably with people. Her favorite relaxing behaviors include sitting in a lap, kneading a blanket, and drifting off to sleep. That slower approach does not mean she is unfriendly. It means her social style asks for a little patience, making her a good example of why brief shelter meetings can underestimate cats that need time before showing affection.
Both Sisters Gained Confidence
The sisters have also grown more confident as they have spent time with shelter staff. Love Meow reports that both developed into friendly, well-socialized young cats, even though their personalities remained distinct. Twix tends to involve herself quickly, while Kit Kat lets a relationship develop at a slower pace. That difference can help adopters think beyond appearance. A person wanting an active cat who immediately joins household life may lean toward Twix, while someone who enjoys earning trust gradually may find Kit Kat especially rewarding.
They Can Be Adopted Separately
Abandoned Pet Rescue says Twix and Kit Kat are spayed and available for adoption, and the sisters are not required to go home together. That matters because the word “sisters” can make readers assume they are a bonded pair who must remain in the same household. The rescue instead evaluates them as two adoptable individuals with different social styles. Either cat still needs the normal transition period, veterinary care, secure indoor resources, play, and patient introductions to any resident pets after leaving the shelter.
They Are Still Waiting
Their story began with five cats crowded into a bird cage, but the most useful ending is not about the container. It is about what became visible after rescue. Godiva recovered enough to be adopted, two kittens found families, and Twix and Kit Kat grew into healthy young cats with clearly recognizable personalities. As of mid-August 2026, both sisters were still waiting. Their continued availability is a reminder that affectionate, social cats can remain overlooked even after the emergency part of a rescue story is long finished.
