Ace is Up For Adoption Through the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria

By James Cullum

After spending time with one of the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria’s foster caregivers, 19-month-old Ace is looking for a home of his own.

The black and white domestic short-haired cat has even become popular with AWLA youth volunteers.

“He is a great snuggler!” wrote a youth volunteer. “A perfect day for Ace includes snuggling on the couch, looking out a window in a sunny spot, maybe exploring the outdoors through a screened in porch. Ace prefers not to hang out in loud places, as he can be a little shy at first and takes time to warm up in a home.  If your family is loving and all about the snuggles, Ace is a great match.

If you are interested in learning more about Ace or scheduling time to meet him either virtually or in-person, visit AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment for more information.
