Velvet

**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** Just saying the word Velvet evokes such soft, luxurious feels, and now, if you call out for Velvet, a lithe silver tabby instantly sprints into your space, tail up and gaze inquiring, ready for some yummy treats or cuddly laptime! Velvet is a lovely, sweet-natured tabby girl who adores being with people and likes nothing better than having her people in the same space as her. She enjoys being petted, and encourages more of the same by nudging the hand that is offering the love. Utterly adorable! A considerate kitty, Velvet adjusts her sleeping schedule to match the human’s, and happily tucks herself under a blanket just like her person, before purring herself to sleep for the night. Velvet is a well-mannered young lady, and does not willfully destroy furniture nor jump on tables to steal food. She is content to sit by your side and keep you company while you go about your day, happy just to be present. This sweetheart has adjusted wonderfully to living with people, and is now quite comfortable with routine motion and noises in her space. Velvet was rescued by a cat lover who has two male cats in the house, and although Velvet was less than impressed by them at the time, her young age makes accepting another friendly, playful cat a real possibility after proper, supervised introductions and gradual integration. Velvet can’t wait to have her own family of devoted people to love, so come see your kitty soulmate today! Would you like to make Velvet a part of your family? Please complete our online application found at: avacats.org/adopt/adoption-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!
