Pixie - Calico and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Vaughan, Ontario

**NOTE: All AVA kittens under 12 months of age MUST be adopted in pairs or to a home with another young cat. AVA does not accept applications for single kittens**

***Pixie MUST have a cat buddy in her new home. Sister Dixie is a good match as both girls are sassy and sweet!

Pixie, Dixie, Nixie and Alexi are siblings who come from a barn in rural central Ontario. They were rescued when they were about 7 weeks old and learned how to be 'cat' in foster, with the help of the foster's tolerant and indulgent male cat subbing in as nanny.

Pixie is a sassy, spazzy little calico cat who likes to play coy as if she doesn't want attention, but then rubs against and paws insistently at legs to be picked up and cuddled. She was the first to run off when scared, but brave and pushy when she feels safe. Pretty standard for a calico baby! But so much fun!

Pixie loves Temptations treats and will hoover up whatever Dixie leaves behind. She is completely uninterested in the dog and does not react in any way. She would rather have a kitty friend to tumble around and chase, but is also pretty independent. Pixie would do great with any of her siblings, preferably Dixie, her calico counterpart; but her paradoxical sassy and sweet temperament would do just fine with another young, friendly cat if need be.

Would you like to make Pixie, and maybe Dixie too, a part of your family? Please complete our online application found at: https://www.avacats.org/adoption-application-form.

Our adoption fees cover vetting and include spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccines (initial FVRCP and rabies), flea treatment, two dewormings and microchipping.

All AVA kittens 12 months or younger must be adopted in pairs or go to a home with another young cat (3 years or younger). Kittens learn from each other how to behave, which helps them turn into well-adjusted adult cats. In general, paired cats have happier and healthier lives because they have a constant companion and playmate. Plus, it's twice the fun for you, and half the work!
