Colin (bonded with Archie) - Tabby and Domestic Short Hair Cat 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**

***Colin and Archie are a pair of bonded brothers. They are looking forward to charming their new family together!

Mary, Dickon, Archibald and Colin were rescued from a rural eastern Ontario colony. They were named after the characters in the musical, The Secret Garden.

Colin is an independent, playful kitten, and has a calm personality. He is usually the first to greet you and meow for food. Churus are his absolute favourites, and he will bite down on the tube so he can get even more. Colin is the smallest of the bunch, and loves cuddling. Once he has claimed you as his own, he will come for nose kisses and get super comfy with you. You can usually find him sleeping with his siblings, especially Archie. If he's not sleeping with them, he is most likely going to crawl up and sleep on you. Colin does not understand the concept of personal space!

This fun and energetic kitten is easy to handle and loves playing with ping pong balls and wand toys. Colin has great appetite and litter habits, and is looking forward to exploring a brave new world with his brother Archie as his sidekick.

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).
