Acrobat ‘Jumpy’ Up for Adoption with Animal Welfare League of Alexandria

By James Cullum

Jumpy lives up to her name.

The five-month-old kitten is up for adoption through the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

“As a kitten, she loves jumping of every variety, from pouncing to leaping to bounding after a toy,” said Gina Hardter, spokesperson for the AWLA. “She’s especially fond of toys, and loves to chase after laser pointers and wand toys. Though she can be a little shy around new people, she loves other cats and might even enjoy a kitty sibling in her new home as a playmate.”
