About Elsje

Elsje is a spirited grey and white tabby kitten with a delightful mix of independence and affection. She can happily entertain herself with her toys, but she also adores interactive playtime. Wave a wand toy, and you'll marvel at how high she jumps with joy. Having been bottle-raised from just a day old, Elsje thrives on the love and attention of her humans. During her foster care, Elsje was diagnosed with a regressive FeLV infection. This affects her immune system but, fortunately, many cats with regressive FeLV go on to lead healthy, fulfilling lives. While she's not currently contagious, she'll need a loving home committed to regular vet check-ups and vaccinations to prevent any potential triggers for the virus to progress. It’s best if Elsje goes to a home with her buddies Beatrice and Kyle, or another cat with regressive FeLV. If you’re interested in learning more about this charming girl, her foster parents are eager to share her story.
