Greetings, friend! Or dare I say, future family?? My name is Helvetica. Yes, like the famous font! If you ask Google why everyone loves Helvetica, it will tell you because it's full of grace and gravitas... among other things, but those make me sound fanciest. I am 100% sweet as sugar and love to cuddle with my people. You'll appreciate my suuuuper silky-soft medium-length fur when it's time for belly and chest scratches.
My cutest quirk? When I want something, I stand up like a little teddy bear and paw at the air to let you know! I want you to pick me up? Teddy bear paws. I want up on the sink? Teddy bear paws. Let's just say there are a lot of teddy bear paws throughout the day. My not-so-cute quirk? Well, I suffer from severe stranger danger when it comes to other cats, but with patience and help from my family, I do overcome it and become best buds with other household kitties.
My fosters have coined a 'nice' nickname that's a riff on my name - Hellion. Why? Because I LOVE to play... HARD. You think you've seen cat zoomies? Psh, you haven't seen anything til you've witnessed a lightning bolt of fluff doing aerial somersaults and barrel rolls through your living room in pursuit of a toy. Enjoy your built-in entertainment!
Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room. I do have feline leukemia virus (FeLV), but please don't write me off just yet! Let me tell you about it. Having FeLV, I will need my family to keep a very close eye on my health. This means watching for any changes in behavior, eating, drinking, or bathroom habits, physical changes anywhere on my body... no observation is too small with FeLV, and my family should get guidance from my veterinarian whenever you notice anything. My immune system can be more fragile than a cat without FeLV, so when something comes up, it's important to act fast to avoid compounding symptoms. FeLV is only contagious to other cats, so if I have a feline buddy, they should also be FeLV-positive. I'll promise you one thing - FeLV has no hold on how much I'll love my family and how much joy we'll bring to each other's lives!
My siblings and I are little warriors. Our kitty mama unexpectedly passed away when we were only a week and a half old, and we battled and defeated many health issues as tiny neonates. We were dealt a lousy hand at life, but we have overcome every obstacle and become happy, vibrant kittens, full of life and personality. We'll continue to thrive with the love from our future families.
I'd love a chance to show you just how amazing a perfect little lady like me can be, and I'd be thrilled to be adopted with any of my six other littermates (Arial, Basil, Comic Sans, Nutmeg, Times New Roman, Wingdings)! Hope to meet you soon!

More about this rescue
Tenth Life's Mission:
Giving cats the lives they deserve.
At Tenth Life, we believe that every cat, regardless of emotional or physical limitations, deserves the chance at a fulfilling and happy life.
We provide veterinary care, foster homes, and adoptive placement to stray cats and kittens, prioritizing those with special needs. We work to end unnecessary euthanasia and cat homelessness through educational outreach, community programs, and collaborative partnerships.
Only when a trusted veterinarian determines that a cat is in a state of incurable suffering, does Tenth Life relieve them of their pain through gentle and humane euthanasia. This difficult and thoughtful decision is never made in response to a lack of space, negative behaviors, or because a cat's medical needs are challenging or expensive.
