Hazel was surrendered to us beginning of the month, her owner was no longer able to care for her. She went to our vet where she was flea treated, dewormed twice, received her 1st FVCRP vaccine and microchip. She was also treated for ear mites - which has all cleared up. Her new owners will be responsible for her 2nd FVCRP vaccines and rabies prior to her spay by AVA at 4 - 5 months which is included in her $275 adoption fee. Hazel loves to play with her toys, cuddle in her bed and once she got to know her foster mom's other cats liked to play with them. She is a little picky with her food, but she does like canned, lickables and her dry food. It is recommended that she start out in her own safe room with food, litter and toys until she adjusts to her new environment. She MUST go to a home with another young cat to keep her company. AVA has an indoor and no declaw policy.

The Tortoiseshell cat is known for its unique coat pattern that blends various hues of red, black, and orange in a striking mosaic. These cats are predominantly female due to the genetics behind their coat coloration. Tortoiseshells are often affectionate and independent, with individual personalities that shine through. Their coats are a beautiful patchwork of colors, making them highly sought-after pets for cat lovers seeking a companion with a vibrant and dynamic appearance.
