Joy - 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**

***Joy is a sweetheart through and through, and MUST have a cat buddy in her forever home. Sister Juni is petite and dainty like Joy, and would make the perfect cat companion!

Momma Bianca and her six kittens were rescued when they were on the verge of giving up on life. Bianca’s story is detailed in Jae’s profile. Fortune smiled on this little family, and we are eternally grateful that these kittens now have great futures ahead of them. Momma Bianca led the way, and was adopted with another sweet cat into a wonderful home first.

Joy may look like an ordinary tabby cat, but she is truly an extraordinary kitten full of sweetness and light. Joy and sister Juni are the smallest of the kindle, and needed more time to catch up in terms of weight and size. However, Joy is no pushover when it comes to zoomies and games; she can hold her own and vocally set boundaries during play when others are too rough, but then goes back for more soon after!

When Joy is done exploring and playing, she seeks out her human for cuddles and likes to snuggle under their chin for kisses and pets. There’s nothing sweeter than a kitten tucked against your neck, softly purring and full of loving kisses. If a vibrating kitten on your chest is something you’re missing in life, you’re in luck! Both Joy and Juni can provide plenty of that and more!

Joy likes a variety of good quality wet food and just recently started eating kibbles. She is gaining weight slowly but steadily, and has pretty much caught up to her siblings. She has good litter box etiquettes, and no issues with podicures.

Joy is the dream kitten we wish all kittens are. Her entire kindle is a rare gem of docile, affectionate and playful kittens any family would be lucky to love. Come take her home soon, and have your own source of Joy forever!
