Gabrielle Zaffiro McLemore and her husband were strolling past the Pennsylvania SPCA one day when they came across a beautiful cat and decided to go inside and meet him. They had no intention of adopting on that day because they already had two cats, but after spending time with Jean Ralphio, they fell in love and knew he would be joining them at home. When the couple found the cat had a sibling, Mona Lisa, they felt they couldn't keep them apart and adopted her as well.

They've been with their family for over a year, and their parents are so thankful that they chose to adopt both of them.

McLemore told The Dodo, "Jean Ralphio and Mona Lisa are tight as thieves." "They're both very lively and loving with one other. They groom each other alternately and are frequently seen napping close together. They're always around one other."
