My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Aviendha: The Goofy Warrior with a Heart of Gold
Don’t let the fierce name fool you! While Aviendha is named after a legendary warrior princess, she is actually a sweet, goofy soul who is looking for a patient partner to help her settle into her next chapter.

Her Personality
Aviendha comes from a very loving background, but after some sudden life changes and a transition into foster care, she’s learned to be selective about her trust. She is a clear communicator who will let you know when she needs space. If you are willing to follow her lead and give her the time she needs to feel safe, you will be rewarded with a loyal, quirky companion.

Once she’s comfortable, her true "warrior" spirit comes out in the form of curiosity and play!

Avi’s Favorite Things
The High Life: You’ll often find her perched atop the highest cat tower, surveying her kingdom while she naps.

Kitchen Quality Control: She loves to lounge at your feet while you cook, just in case a treat "accidentally" falls her way.

Scientific Exploration: She’s a curious explorer who likes to test gravity by occasionally knocking things off shelves and tables.

The "Blep": Perhaps her most endearing trait is her habit of sticking her tongue out while she explores or relaxes.

The Ideal Match
Aviendha is looking for a "forever" human who understands that the best friendships take a little time to build. A calm, predictable environment where her boundaries are respected will allow her goofy personality to truly shine.

Quick Tip: If you have a cat tower and a bag of treats ready, you're already halfway to winning Avi's heart!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Adoption events are held regularly in the community at Petco Winchester VA every other Saturday. Additional events are held at area festivals, wineries, breweries, and parks. Approved adopters can schedule a private meet and greet with their chosen pet. Same day adoptions are not done, so please apply in advance of any adoption event to give us time to check vet and personal references and to complete the video home visit.
