The adoption fees for a pair of tabby cat brothers are covered in Alexandria.
It’s hard to tell apart Pakizim and his brother Pistikim, since both two-year-old cats have similar personalities.
“Both are inquisitive, affectionate and playful, rushing to greet you as you enter their enclosure to solicit attention with head butts and meows,” said Gina Hardter, a spokesperson with the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. “But they are equally happy playing with a wide variety of toys together, with their goofy antics amusing everyone they meet.”
Through the month of December, it’s two for the price of none, because Pistikim and Pakizim’s adoption fees have been pre-paid by Priority Automotive as part of the AWLA’s Home for the Pawlidays event. Schedule time to meet them both at AlexandriaAnimals.org/

The guide provides a concise glossary of coffee culture terms near the end, and a few articles about coffee concepts.
