Bijou

**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**<br/><br/>***Bijou would love the accompaniment of brother Bailey as they journey on to their adoptive home. If that is not to be, Bijou would welcome the guidance of a young, easygoing and friendly cat who can help him settle down to enjoy life to the fullest.<br/><br/>Bijou may have puppy-looking eyes, but don’t be fooled into thinking they are sad eyes, he is very content and unconsciously uses his eyes to good effect. He is a bit more cautious than his brother Bailey, and takes more time to be convinced that people = good food, yummy treats and intriguing fun games. <br/><br/>He hangs back to watch his brother Bailey try to capture the wand feathers, and It’s only a matter of time before he will be playing with the wand as well. Bijou is very smart and can quickly figured out toys, especially if the rewards are treats! Both brothers like to play ping pong with the resident cats underneath the pet guard separating the foster room from the rest of the house. Bijiou is an advance player and will round up passed balls to shoot them right back under the pet guard. The boys take to new games and toys with innate curiosity and intelligence, and will prove to be highly entertaining and likely trainable with the right incentives.<br/><br/>Bijiou loves his dry food and will gladly lick Churu off fingers. With more time, patience and treats, Bijou will graduate to settling closer to his humans and allowing pets. The boys were rescued off the streets as young cats, and have instinctive ambivalence where people are concerned. We do not know their back story, but whatever negativity they encountered in the past have to be gradually overlaid with good associations and pleasant interactions.<br/><br/>Bijou is seeking a patient, understanding and open-hearted family to bond with. He wants you to know that the shy, skittish tendencies are façades he hide behind because he is not sure just yet. But if you give him the grace of space and time, he promises to work really hard to get to that happy place where you can be his best friend for life.<br/><br/>Would you like to make Bijou, and maybe Bailey too, a part of your family? Please complete our online application found at: https://www.avacats.org/adoption-application-form.<br/><br/>Our adoption fees cover vetting and include spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccines (initial FVRCP and rabies), flea treatment, two dewormings and microchipping.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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!
