Elsje's Story

Elsje is a spirited grey and white tabby kitten who is the perfect mixture of independent and affectionate. Elsje is a girl who can entertain herself. Give her some toys to play with and she will keep herself busy and content! If you want to enjoy some interactive playtime with her, just wave around a wand toy and watch her jump in the air with enthusiasm and delight. Besides being a playful busy body, Elsje loves soaking in lots of affection from her people. This little girl has been bottle raised by humans since she was just a day old, so she is always happy to get loved on.<br/><br/>During her time in foster, Elsje was diagnosed with a regressive FeLV infection. FeLV is an infection that affects a cat's immune system and often gives them a shortened lifespan. Thankfully, Elsje has regressive FeLV which means her body has fought off the infection enough to make the virus go dormant. Many cats with regressive FeLV live happy and healthy lives with normal lifespans. While she is not currently contagious to other cats, she could potentially become contagious in the future if her FeLV were to become progressive. Elsje is looking for a home that will be proactive with her health and keep her up to date on her vaccines since illness and stress can be a potential trigger for the virus to progress. Due to her regressive FeLV, Elsje is looking for a home with her buddies Beatrice and Kyle (who also have regressive FeLV), or to a home with other cats with regressive FeLV. If you are interested in this sweet girl, Elsje's foster parents would be happy to discuss her diagnosis in more detail.

Feisty Felines's Adoption Policy

Please keep in mind that these kittens are primarily feral-born and their full history is often unknown. Their level of friendliness will vary depending on a number of factors, but we always do our best to describe their current comfort level in the posting. We require indoor-only homes. Partly due to the nature of the work we do with feral-born kittens that would be extremely difficult to get back inside if they escape outside. But also due to inherent dangers outside. (Rare exceptions may be made for adult cats that have previously been indoor/outdoor and would not adapt well as indoor-only pets, but these are uncommon). We also require owners to never declaw any adopted cats. Declawing is inhumane and has been shown to have a high correlation with chronic behavioral and health issues. With regards to kittens only, please note that we do give preference to approved adopters seeking a bonded pair of kittens. However, we understand not all homes can adopt a pair of kittens, so our secondary preference is a home a home with other cats. We may occasionally have kittens who would do well in a home with a dog or without other cats, but this is less common. While us humans can love them and play with them, it isn’t the same. They really do better with a friend. This policy does not apply to teenagers or adults. Adult (1 year +) and teenage cats (6 months to a year) may go to a home without other pets as long as we think they would thrive in that environment. Please note that all cats and kittens are placed on a case-by-case basis and there may be some unique exceptions to these policies if we think it is best for the cat. Thank you for understanding. They are fixed, chipped, vaccinated, combo testing done, deflead and dewormed. Adults and “shy guy” kitties receive the same treatment and are a discounted rate (dependent on level of shyness). Adoptions include a 30-day refund guarantee. If for any reason you decide it’s not a good fit within the first 30 days we will issue a full refund. Of course we will gladly take the kitty back beyond 30 days (space permitting), but refunds beyond 30 days are not guaranteed. To be considered, please apply at feistyfelines.org/adoption-application. Thanks for considering adopting a rescue! <3
