My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This silly little lady came to us after she had been brought into our local vet’s office by a good samaritan who found her after she had been hit by a car. The vet reached out to us to see if we would be able to take her in, and if we were, they would do surgery to fix her jaw, which had been broken and degloved. Luckily we were able to take her in and the surgery went great with no complications!
It was pretty obvious when Elvira first got to us that she was going to be a very good cat. Even though she had just been through a series of traumatic events, she was immediately friendly with us and was purring right away. She healed up completely fine from her surgery and you can’t even tell that it happened!
We’re guessing that she’s about 4 years old and it’s pretty clear she was loved in a home at one point because of how great she is and how great her house manners are. She’s been fully litter box trained from day 1 and settled right into her new environment.
While Elvira was in our cat room, she was always happy to see people and would start purring as soon as she was getting pets, she was more reserved than some of our other cats, waiting for people to come up and say hi to her rather than going up to them, but she’s recently moved into a foster home, and it’s there she’s started to really show her personality. She absolutely loves being an only cat and having her fosters all to herself. She follows them around the house and when she wants something, she’s not afraid to let them know by walking up to them talking the whole time. They also report that she loves cuddling and will take any opportunity to lay on or with them!
She does well with older kids but can get overwhelmed by younger ones who don’t respect when she says she’s had enough attention. She’s not super thrilled with other pets so we would love to place her as an only cat, but she would probably co-exist decently well with chill other animals who let her have her space.
Elvira is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccines! We don’t have any set adoption fees, but do ask that a donation be made at the time of adoption, and for Elvira we are asking for a donation of $150.
