Domestic Short Hair Cats Available 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**

Jojo is a 7-month-old sweetheart who’s already come such a long way. She didn’t have the easiest start in life - she was living outdoors before being rescued - but since coming inside, she’s been making HUGE progress every single day.

She’s still a bit timid around people, but her gentle nature shines through in everything she does. Jojo absolutely loves ear scratches, and while she may be shy at first, she’ll bravely come up to take treats right from your hand (and does it so softly—it’s honestly the cutest thing).

Jojo has perfect house manners: she uses her litter box like a pro, enjoys her scratching post, and gets along wonderfully with other cats. She would likely do best in a calm, patient home with someone who understands that trust takes time—and is willing to give her that chance.

And did we mention…she’s tiny? With the cutest little paws, Jojo might just stay a forever “pocket cat.”

If you’re someone who sees the beauty in a shy cat and wants to help her continue to blossom, Jojo could be your perfect match.

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!
