Elvira's Story

Elvira is a mysterious beauty with a soft heart that’s just beginning to shine. When she first arrived, she was shy and uncertain—keeping her distance and quietly observing. But over time, with patience and gentle care, Elvira has started to trust. Now she’s coming up for pets, letting out the tiniest purrs, and showing us just how much love she has to give.<br/><br/>She still appreciates a calm, quiet space and someone who understands that building trust takes time—but she’s worth every moment. Elvira is ready for a forever home where she can continue to bloom.<br/><br/>Our cat adoption fee is $110 and includes their spay/neuter surgery, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, and preventatives. You can find our adoption questionnaire at agcshelter.org/adopt-1 or you can stop by to see us Tuesday-Saturday from 1PM-4PM.

PAWS & More Animal Shelter's Adoption Policy

Once you find the animal (or animals) for you, save the downloaded application provided on our website, https://www.pawsandmorewashington.org/adopt, to your device, then complete the form and email it as an attachment to: washingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.com All animals adopted from our facility are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. In rare cases that they are not, due to health reasons, arrangements will be made with the adopter to have the surgery done at a later date. For local adopters, we will ask them to bring the pet back to the shelter on designated spay/neuter days so we can transport it to our vet. This is so we can keep costs down for the family plus ensure the surgery is completed. For long distance adopters, we will talk to the adopter’s vet and arrange a time for the spay/neuter surgery as well as follow-up that it’s complete. We firmly believe that controlling the animal population is the only way to reduce the number of animals in rescue facilities as well as shelters that destroy animals for no reason other than overpopulation.
