Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

**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**

In the short time we’ve spent with Simba and Darwin they have been terrific guests. They are a sweet bonded pair who love to play, explore, and then curl up for a cozy cuddle side-by-side.

Darwin is the more reserved one of the two. He prefers to warm up at his own pace. But once he feels comfortable, his gentle and affectionate personality shines through and is just as enthusiastic about chasing a wand toy as Simba and has lots of time for you if you’re giving him a full body rub.

Would you like to make Simba and Darwin a part of your family? Please complete our online application found at: 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.

Adoption fees are $275 for each kitten up to 12 months old. Please note that fees may apply for additional required vaccinations (at $75 per booster) due prior to adoption. Total adoption fees will be confirmed by the AVA Adoption Coordinator.

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!
