Ava & Ori — Bonded Best Friends Looking for Their Forever Home Ava and Ori are a bonded pair who have been together since they were kittens and are looking for a loving home where they can stay together. We adopted Ava first, and when she was about 3 months old, we brought home Ori so she could have a feline companion. They quickly became inseparable and have spent their lives playing, cuddling, and keeping each other company. Ava is a sweet, affectionate girl with a classic cat personality. She can be a little cautious when meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, she loves being close to her humans. She’s easygoing, independent, and isn’t afraid to let you know when she’s had enough attention. She enjoys lounging nearby and occasionally joins Ori for a playful wrestling match or game of chase. Ori is our “cat-dog.” She loves attention and will happily roll over for belly rubs—a rare trait for most cats! Curious and playful, she enjoys watching squirrels from the window

Sig is very skittish. When adopted as a kitten the foster tried to persuade me not to adopt him as she said he will not bond with anyone due to his odd detached personality. This turned out to be true for me.
