Ori (& Ava) - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Meet Ori and Ava!
They are two lovely female cats who share a close bond and are looking for a home together. Ori, a black-and-white girl weighing 13 pounds, has a friendly, social nature and enjoys interacting with her people. Ava, a petite 8.4-pound gray cat, is more reserved and appreciates calm, gentle company.
These two complement each other beautifully. Ori brings confidence and curiosity, while Ava offers quiet companionship and a softer presence. They enjoy spending time together, relaxing, and exploring at their own pace. Both prefer interactions that respect their comfort levels, and they thrive in a home that understands each cat’s unique personality.
Ori and Ava are a wonderful match for someone who appreciates a pair with both playful moments and peaceful downtime. If you’re looking to welcome two bonded companions who will bring warmth and balance to your home, Ori and Ava would love to meet you.

These two are a bonded pair who can’t imagine life without each other, so they’ll need to be adopted together. To help make that happen, only one adoption fee applies!
