Tortoiseshell and 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**

***Mitzi and her siblings are a colourful bunch and must have each other in their forever homes. Mitzi the explorer is ready to lead her shy sibs on their next adventure, no pack packs required!

Mitzi is a perfectly petite princess. She is definitely a kick-butt modern one rather than some passive old fairytale girly though! She has the soul of an adventurer and leads her brothers Merlin and Marty into all sorts of shenanigans. She has defeated many of her foster mom’s cat-proofing setups, and has zero regrets. She is an unabashed chomper of styrofoam and cardboard, and dismantles toys that jingle with glee. Her harlequin face and tan tail-tip will enchant you, and when she’s curled up and purring as you stroke her, you will forgive her all that and more.

Would you like to make some of this family 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!
