Elvira is a beautiful 3-year old female kitty who was brought to the HSOV on October 21, 2025 by a Good Samaritan who had found her on SR550/Barnett Ridge in the Fleming Ohio area after a dog had chased Elvira up a tree. Fortunately for Elvira, she was not physically harmed but was surely very traumatized. Luckily for Elvira she was able to climb the tree and also to find a way to get back down.
This lovely girl has a black short smooth coat, a long tail, and an adorable chubby face with golden eyes, a black velvet nose, and long black whiskers.
Elvira has a sweet, outgoing personality. She loves our compassionate HSOV Kennel Techs and gets along with other cats. Elvira does not feel comfortable in a small cage, so she enjoys out-of-cage time most of the time when it is safe for her to pussyfoot around the intake area or to take catnaps.
Elvira was given vaccinations and wormer on October 22, 2025. She was given booster vaccines on November 6, 2025.
Elvira is a big girl who tips the scales at 15 lbs. She had already been spayed when she entered our shelter.
These photos of Elvira were taken on November 4th when she posed for preliminary photos for her debut on Petfinder/Facebook/Adoptapet.
