About Alvie & Willow

Alvie and Willow are a bonded pair in search of a loving home. They were adopted during the pandemic, but circumstances beyond their control led them to lose their home far too soon. Now, they’re back with us, hoping for a hero to step forward and change their story. Alvie, the gentlemen of the duo, is an 8-year-old male cat with a stunning white coat and a gentle demeanor. His unique swaying gait comes from an old injury, but it doesn’t affect his affectionate nature. He has an FIV+ diagnosis, yet he proves that love and companionship can thrive in any condition. Alvie is always ready for some brushing and cuddles. Willow, the younger sister at 5 years old, is a black cat with adorably crossed eyes that will surely melt your heart. She’s a bit shy at first, needing time to warm up, but once you win over Alvie, she quickly follows suit. The pair is inseparable and complement each other beautifully. Adopting them together is essential as they provide each other with comfort and companionship. Both cats have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and are house trained. They’re ready to start anew in a home that embraces them for who they are. Please consider giving Alvie and Willow the chance they deserve for a brighter future together. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
