Domestic Short Hair Cats Available 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**

***Forest is a curious and outgoing kitten, and must have a social cat friend in her forever home, or be adopted with her older siblings/cousins Willow or Cedar.

Forest, Willow and Cedar were found abandoned in the bush in rural eastern Ontario.

Forest is a 6-month-old black short-haired sweetheart with a big personality packed into a tiny frame. She’s playful, affectionate, and full of energy — especially when there’s a wand toy to chase! Forest loves running around, soaking up attention, and curling up in laps for cuddles, all the while purring nonstop. She can be a little cautious with unfamiliar things and may growl when unsure, but she’s never aggressive. Forest gets along fine with other cats but also enjoys her independence. More than anything, she adores people and being the centre of attention.

Would you like to make Forest 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.

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!
