Did they just become best friends? Not quite; Oreo and Flaroen were raised together in their first home, and they sure hope to stay together in their forever home.

While their space is a little tight, these guys wouldn’t want bunk beds - even though it would give them extra space to do activities! - as they love curling up together for naps.
