Story
Love is in the air when Selkie is around! Sweet, gentle and quiet, Selkie is like the mystical creature her name suggests, although as far as we know she cannot shape-shift. Selkie was rescued from a multi-cat home, when two cats ended up becoming parents to two litters in about a years’ time. Overwhelmed by the situation, the owner surrendered the eight cats to EHS, knowing that we will be vigilant in our care and helping them find loving homes. ABOUT SELKIE- In foster- Selkie is a very loving cat who is enjoys affection when you approach her and has now begun to seek it out. She loves everyone in the foster household!- She really enjoys being gently picked up and brought over for some affection, settling in for pets and cuddles. Once she is comfortable with you, she will often gently nudge her head into your body, purr, and rest by your side. When she’s had enough, she’ll simply get up and walk away. - Selkie is an easy going, calm cat. When she is out exploring, you may hear her soft and gentle meow, telling you about her discoveries. She’s recently realized how fun it is to play with a wand toy.- She can often be found with her foster-mate, playing or cuddling. - Selkie may not shape-sift, but she may channel her inner dog because when she’s happy she wags her tail like a puppy! - Potential adopters should be aware that the genetic mutation responsible for a Scottish Fold’s distinct ears also puts it at risk for joint and bone disease. Selkie’s forever family will need to monitor her health, weight, and mobility, schedule regular veterinary check-ups, and prepare for future medical costs that will come over time.- Selkie is spayed, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations.SELLKIE’S IDEAL HOME- Selkie gets along with her fellow foster-mate, and would do well in a home with another gentle cat. - It is unknown how Selkie is with other pets. What Selkie wants most is to find a home where she feels safe, loved, and can be close to the people caring for her. If you think this is you, then reach out to EHS.If you have any questions about Selkie or the adoption process, please contact cats@etobicokehumanesociety.com
