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**

***Reese and Raisin were born of momma Rosie inside a home bursting with cats and kittens. Reese is a sweetheart with both people and cats, so must have plenty of both in her forever home. Momma Rosie or brother Raisin would both fit the bill, as Reese is not picky who she has to play and cuddle with, as long as she has people too!

Reese is a mini-me of momma Rosie, a loud purr monster, totally fierce with the feather wand and equally assertive when it comes to getting love and attention. This little scrappy dynamo has no concept of personal space, and is more often than not in your face or on your chest, purring, nudging and generally being a lovable pest you cannot help but fall in love with. She can, if the mood strikes her, curl up right beside you for a nap rather than on top of you. Watching her sleep is a form of meditative therapy no one else can provide except Reese.

This agile, curious little cat is keen to explore a new space and check out new faces with very few reservations. Everyone is her friend! Cats, dogs, kids and adults, as long as she has your attention, Reese is happy. She can scale cat trees and perch on the highest platform to survey her kingdom, and wand toy play is her chance to show off her jumping and hunting prowess! She channels her black panther energy like a natural, and no one is immune to her charms.

Reese loves her treats and wet food — actually, she loves all things yummy! This sweet little cat is aiming to make her forever family wonder how they survived so long without her sweet purrs and generous head boops! Reese can be adopted with momma Rosie or brother Raisin (currently undergoing some medical treatment so not yet available for adoption), or she can make ready friends with a nice kitty who is willing to be her playmate for life. She loves cats, dogs, kids and people. What else can one ask for? She is perfect.

Would you like to make Reese and her family a part of your world? 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!
