Mikhail's Story

Mikhail came from a large indoor–outdoor colony that lost its indoor space when their caretaker had to move. Although he had a rough start in life, his foster mom paired him with a young, playful cat, which really helped him come out of his shell. After about three months, he finally started joining her on the bed! He’s still a bit shy, but continues to make wonderful progress.<br/><br/>Mikhail isn’t a fan of being picked up, but he enjoys the company of other cats and loves a good nap (and maybe a few too many snacks — he’s getting a little chubby!). A quiet, patient home would suit him best, as too much activity could be overwhelming while he adjusts. With love and time, Mikhail will continue to blossom into a gentle, affectionate companion.<br/><br/>Would you like to make Mikhail a part of your family? Please complete our online application found at: avacats.org/adopt/adoption-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 $250 for each adult cat 1 year or older. 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.
