For more than a year, we have been trying to find Luke and Hummus the forever home they deserve. We've shared photos, written posts, created diary entries, featured them at adoption events, and we've taken them along on our daily adventures—yet these wonderful boys have received zero adoption applications. We simply refuse to give up on them. This new video captures the personalities we have come to love so much: their charm, their friendship, and the joy they bring every day. Please watch, share, and help us find the family that has been missing out on Luke and Hummus for far too long. ❤️

The adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor and these boys come with gently used supplies! They are in excellent health and have no medical issues. Luke and Hummus have all their vaccinations, are microchipped, and are neutered.

📍Flat Luke & Hummus Adventures — Day 1

Since these boys are still waiting for their forever home after more than a year, they’ve decided they’re no longer sitting around waiting… they’re coming along on my daily adventures instead! 😸

Today was a VERY exciting day for Luke and Hummus.

First stop: a facial appointment! 🧖‍♀️
The boys learned all about self-care, relaxation, and glowing skin. Luke was especially interested in the warm towels, while Hummus believes cucumbers should only be used as snacks.

Next stop: wedding dress shopping with my son’s fiancée! 👰✨
The boys took their role very seriously and provided emotional support, style opinions, and occasional dramatic reactions from the sidelines. They would like everyone to know they fully support sequins, lace, and long trains.

At the end of the day, Luke and Hummus headed home wishing they had a forever family to share these kinds of special moments with every day. ❤️
These sweet boys are almost 2 years old and have been waiting OVER A YEAR for someone to choose them. Please keep sharing their journey — because somewhere out there is a family missing two orange best friends. 🧡🧡

Last week, we shared “Diary Entries” from Luke and Hummus — a glimpse into the daily lives of two wonderful boys who have now spent OVER A YEAR waiting for someone to choose them.

We showed their personalities. Their routines. Their hopes. Their silly moments. Their quiet moments.

And still… no adoption applications.

So this week, we’re trying something new.

Since Luke and Hummus are still waiting, they’re officially joining me on my daily adventures “Flat Stanley” style! 🧳📸 Over the next week, these boys will be tagging along through everyday life — errands, work, coffee runs, relaxing at home, and wherever else the day takes us.

Why? Because these cats deserve to be SEEN. They deserve to be part of someone’s daily routine. Someone’s family. Someone’s life.

Luke and Hummus aren’t just shelter cats. They are companions waiting for their people. And until they find them, we’ll keep showing the world exactly why they are so special. ❤️

Follow along this week as the adventures of Luke and Hummus continue… and please keep sharing. Their forever family may still be out there.
