My story

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

Ava is a handsome, affectionate boy with a soft coat, gentle eyes, and a heart full of love. Despite his name, Ava is very much a gentleman—and a truly special one at that.

This sweet guy is diabetic, which means he needs a little extra care to keep him feeling his best. But don’t let that scare you—Ava is incredibly patient, easy to handle, and takes his routine like a champ. With the right schedule and a dedicated human, he’ll reward you with endless purrs, head bumps, and quiet companionship.

Ava loves calm environments where he can relax, nap in warm spots, and enjoy the simple joys of life. He’s the kind of cat who forms deep bonds and thrives with someone who appreciates his gentle spirit.

If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion and are willing to give a special-needs kitty a chance, Ava will repay you with more love than you can imagine. 💙🐱
He’s ready to find the person who sees how incredible he truly is.
