About Ava & Ida
URGENT!! FOSTER CARER REQUIRED!!
Please help these Goddesses....their owner is very unwell and can't look after the girls anymore!
Can you help keep them out of the pound??
Goddesses on a mountain top, burning like a silver flame, the summit of beauty and love and Ava and Ida are our names. We've got it, yeah baby we've got it and you're going love everything about us. Dynamic duo soul sisters who come together as a beautiful package deal.
We are in need of someone to foster them urgently as their owner is too sick to care for them any longer.....when you fall in love with them you'll never want to let them go!!
Heard of the 1940s actress Ida Lupino? That's how I got my name! And Ava? She's named after famous director Ava DuVernay! We're Hollywood royalty, see? We're glossy black girls with shiny soft coats and big, doe eyes. Some say I look surprised or shocked most of the time, but I'm always looking at the world with wide-eyed curiosity - just like Jiji the cat from in 'Kiki's Delivery Service'. Ava has round eyes, lots of extra chub (hey a girl's allowed have some curves, right?) and has had a full mouth extraction (no teeth). Don't tell her I said this but she looks a little like Toothless from 'How to Train Your Dragon'!
I'm the more active of us two, a little needy (you got a problem with that?) and I meow a lot - I like to talk ok? I stick my nose and whiskers into lots of things - I'm very curious about what's going on in my world. Cuddling and belly rubs, give 'em to me baby. It could take a little while for me to come round to you (there was some trauma in my life when I was a little kitty) but I am very loving, quirky and sweet - yeah, maybe a little on the clingy side, but once you know where the good love is coming from, you know. Strangers and loud noises stress both of us out and we do like our quiet time bird watching and lying in the sun. But then when it's play time, watch out - I like getting my toys out and showing you which ones I want to play with! When it comes to who's top cat around here, well that'd be me, of course. Sometimes, at night I might have to put Ava in her place, but it's all in good fun and there's no hard feelings. She's my girl, my ride or die and I love her as much as I'll love you.
Ava is a very well-behaved girl, but she doesn't like being picked up. She's introverted and sometimes timid and shy. But that's what makes her such a sweetheart. She's kinda the cool, calm and collected one, who's very independent and knows her boundaries. I call her the Zen Mistress, cos she's kinda chilled out when she feels comfortable around you. She looooooooves her food and she'll scoff hers and then try and eat mine. Please feed us separately, so I don't starve! Getting in the carrier to go to the vet is a sore point for Ava and she'll run and hide as soon as she hears the carrier - picking her up in her favourite blanket works wonders though. She's a lush and loves getting her fur brushed and is partial to a free drink of water from the bathtub (oooh yummy).
We're both indoor cats (please don't let us out cos we might never come back). It's a big wide world out there, but we'd prefer to stay inside with you, where it's warm and safe and there's fooooood. So will you take us gorgeous gals. Will you roll out the red carpet for us? We're the two superstars that you just can't resist! Make an enquiry about us soul sisters today - we'll give you double the love and the fun!
