Kittens Acadia and Archie are best friends who have spent most of the lives together and need a new home.

The pair came to the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria in need of medical treatment. Archie had had an infection that badly damaged his eye, requiring it to be removed, and Acadia had an ear infection that was fixed with medication, although it has left her with a bit of a head tilt.

“While Acadia is the more outgoing of the duo, once he gets to know you, Archie is a sweet cuddle bug who loves to pounce and toys and nestle in laps,” said Gina Hardter, spokesperson for the AWLA.
