These Women Adopt Cats And Take Them On Adventures

Cats Are Lovebugs, Too

“Cats are usually seen as very home based and laid back, and dogs are the loving ones that always like to come on adventures,” said VanderRee. Bolt and Keel prove cats can be just as loving and adventurous. The adventure kitties may be so excited about their weekend camping trips and hikes because it’s become a habit.

If you’re thinking about taking your own cat on adventures, you might want to build up to longer periods of time outside. VanderRee also thinks Bolt and Keel being kittens when they started going on adventures helped them get used to all the time outside.

Bolt and Keel’s Fan Club

Since Bolt and Keel’s adventures went viral, the brother cats have amassed 69,200 followers on Instagram, and have made 475+ posts of their time exploring the wild. Their fans are inspired by their heartwarming story of finding a forever home and have even started taking their own cats on Bolt and Keel inspired adventures.

“We look at our hikes and adventures differently,” said VanderRee. “I get competitive, like go-go-go, and it forces us to slow down and really enjoy the process.” Gumbley was also surprised by how well the cats meshed with her lifestyle. Who knew cats could be such compatible outdoor companions?
