Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Hello, I'm Effy! I'm a bundle of joy, always ready to play and explore. I'm also quite the chatterbox, ready to engage in a meowing conversation at any moment. But don't worry, I'm not all energy and noise. I have a gentle, loving side too. I love nothing more than curling up in a warm lap for a cuddle session. I'm as sweet as can be, and I promise to bring lots of love and laughter into your life. Something you need to know about me is that I am FIV+ which is an immune compromising virus. Regular vet care is essential for me and with proper management FIV+ cats will live long, healthy, happy lives. So why should you adopt me? Well, I believe every home needs a little Effy magic. A playful spirit to brighten up the day, a comforting purr at the end of a long day, and a friendly face to greet you every morning. I promise to be the best companion you could ever wish for.
