Parker is a super sweet cat with mild cerebellar hypoplasia. This means he walks a little funny but he can still eat, drink, play, and use the litter box like most cats. He may cause a more of a mess than other cats but he makes up for it in snuggles!

Ray has found herself here at the clinic after the passing of her owner. She is sweet as they come. If you are looking for a laid back, calm cat to join your home then please give us a call or stop by to meet her. She would make a great addition to any home.

Who remembers Pete the Pit? This handsome hunk was a resident here at AAVH for almost a full year when he was finally adopted, but unfortunately, and due to no fault of his own he is now looking for a home again. Luckily one of our employees struck up a conversation with a foster at Full Circle Rescue & Sanctuary and they happily agreed to take him in and help us find him a home! If you click on his adoption link you can see several pictures of him in his foster home and enjoying life again! Pete would love nothing more than to find his forever home. Please reach out to the rescue or to us here at Alford if you are interested in meeting Pete and potentially adopting him. https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/FULL-A-82203

We have several rabbits that are looking for new homes. All have been spayed/neutered and are under 2 years of age. If interested in adopting one, please call us at 205-823-6002 and ask to set up a time to come meet them!

Photo 1- Harley is a handsome male looking for a warm home with a loving family to spend the rest of his life with! Check out his fluffy tuft of hair between his ears, is he not the cutest?

Photo 2- Cinnabun and Honeybun are both females and adore each other! Are you looking for a sweet duo of sophisticated ladies with the most adorable floppy ears?

Phot 3- Kickstand and Peanut. You guessed it, Kickstand got his name from his unusual posture due to an issue with his growth plate in that leg, but it does not slow him down one bit! He has paired well with his female friend Peanut (who has the cutest little white nose), and they would love to get to show you their fun personalities!
