Elsa (polydactyl & bonded with Piper) - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Pickering, Ontario

Elsa and Piper are bonded.

Meet Elsa, a gentle, loving mama with a heart of gold. Elsa came from a cat colony carrying the polydactyl (extra-toed) gene and has raised many litters over the years. This spring, she and her daughter Piper gave birth just days apart and lovingly raised all eight kittens (Yeya, Meeko, Yumo, Nooba, Booba, Maze, Tootsie and Yuki) together as one big family. Some of their adorable babies even inherited the family's extra "thumbs."

Elsa is a calm, sweet, and affectionate girl who loves being held, cuddled, and covered in kisses. She has a wonderful purr and thrives on human companionship. Elsa would make a perfect addition to any loving home and her gentle nature is sure to win over everyone she meets.

Our adoption fees cover vetting and include spay/neuter, vaccines (initial FVRCP and rabies), flea treatment, two dewormings and microchipping.

Adoption fees are $250 for each adult cat 1 year or older. Adoption fees are $275 for each kitten up to 12 months old. Please note that fees may apply for additional required vaccinations (at $75 per booster) due prior to adoption. Total adoption fees will be confirmed by the AVA Adoption Coordinator.

**NOTE: All AVA kittens under 12 months of age MUST be adopted in pairs or to a home with another young cat. AVA does not accept applications for single kittens**

All AVA kittens 12 months or younger must be adopted in pairs or go to a home with another young cat (3 years or younger). Kittens learn from each other how to behave, which helps them turn into well-adjusted adult cats. In general, paired cats have happier and healthier lives because they have a constant companion and playmate. Plus, it's twice the fun for you, and half the work!
