Emmy

Emmy is a beautiful girl. Long, soft fur, all white except for her mask, tail and one spot just behind her front right leg. She loves to nap at the top of her cat tower, look out the window, play catch the feather ribbon and chase her sister, Isabelle Anna.She started out life living on the streets and is still learning the ways of an indoor kitten. Her ear was clipped when she was spayed because she wasn't so sure about these scary humans, poking and prodding her at the vet's office. She is shy, but has made great strides in her foster home. Emmy shows affection to her foster parents by rubbing up on their legs, asking them to play and sitting in their lap for 10 minute cuddles. She greets friendly visitors if she is given time to watch them for a bit from her tall perch. She will do best in a quieter home. She is bonded and needs to be adopted with her sister, Isabelle Anna, into a home with no other existing pets so she can establish her own territory and build her confidence.She needs someone that will be willing to go slow and take the time to get to know her on her terms. Busy families with young kids are not a good match. We can see her with a single person or a family with a teenager who has the time to bond with her and would respect her boundaries, but also keep encouraging her and her sister to be brave. Emmy had a tough start, but her personality and desire to be an indoor cat has shined through the hard knocks she has experienced in kittenhood. She deserves a home of her own with her sister, Isabelle Anna. They just need someone with a big heart to give them chance.Emmy has tested positive for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), a virus that attacks and weakens a cat's immune system. Cats with FeLV may live shorter than average lives, but they can be happy, normal cats in the meantime. It's best if FeLV+ cats stay indoors, eat healthy foods, live low-stress lives, and have annual preventive care visits with their veterinarian.
