About Elina

Elina is a delightful young lady, and we’re excited to have her in our rescue. Once abandoned and living on the streets, she deserves a warm home. With a charming round head and big, expressive eyes, her looks reflect her mixture of British Shorthair and Persian lineage. Her long, creamy fur adds to her striking appearance. Elina is as sweet as can be and currently bonded with Lucia, a long-haired tortoiseshell, although Lucia won't be ready for adoption for another month. We believe it’s best for Elina to find a loving home even before then, where she can start settling in. Ideally, she should go to a household with another cat to help her transition. Although she may miss Lucia, she can find joy with a new feline sibling. Fostered in Fairfax, VA, Elina is ready to bring joy into your life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
