Arnold's Story

Update May 19th - Arnold is now at the Global Pet Store, 255 Dundas St W in Waterdown. Go pay this charmer a visit. <br/>May 15th, 2026 - Please read Arnold's bio, requirements for adoption and if you think he would be a good fit then go to avacats.org and fill out an online application form. An adoption co ordinator will be in touch<br/>Arnold had been abandonned in a town house complex - it was end of the month so maybe they moved out and left him behind. He came to our vet where he was scanned for a microchip - none plus not neutered. He has since been flea treated, dewormed, received his FVCRP and rabies vaccines, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $250. Arnold is the sweetest cat, he purrs up a storm, loves to be cuddled, play with his cat nip toys and wand toy and hangs with the foster mom's other cats. He would be great with older children. He hasn't been tested with dogs. He would be good with another cat friendly feline with proper introduction as well. AVA has an indoor and no declaw policy.

Additional fees may apply for cats who have had or are due for vaccine boosters prior to adoption.
