Alvin - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Pickering, 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**

Alvin is one of 5 brothers ( Leonard, Patty, Milo, and Louis) who were born on a farm. These boys are all extremely affectionate and playful. During their time outside they were taken care of by a family with kids so they love to be held/ handled. Each of these boys love to be cuddled, pet and will offer you a million kisses to show how much they love you. Not only do they love the affection of humans, they love each other.

They love the play (especially wrestle), groom and cuddle each other. They would be happy to be adopted with another one of their brothers! To balance their sweet side they’re also playful and love to play with toys. They’re so happy with any toy you give them! Although these brothers share their sweet and playful personalities they do have special little quirks that make them unique.

Alvin is often the first kitty to greet you with a big meow when you enter the room. He loves to come sit beside you and stare at you with so much admiration and appreciation. He loves his pets, especially his face rubs. He also loves to climb on to your lap to spend more time with you. Alvin has a very playful side to go along with his sweet side, he’s very adventurous, loves to play with his brothers and play with toys.
