Bonded kitties Raven and Chenille are looking to be adopted in Alexandria

By James Cullum

Kitties Chenille and Raven are inseparable, and they’re up for adoption as a pair via the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

Raven is a male brown tabby and Chenille is a black short-haired female. The kittens are four months old and aren’t related by blood, and quickly became best friends after moving into the AWLA.

“They are looking to find their future family together,” AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter told ALXnow. “Young kittens are often energetic and seek a lot of interaction, but by adopting a bonded pair, Chenille and Raven each have a built-in best bud to play with, nap with and just generally hang out with.”
