Elma. Just saying her name brings a smile. With her soft tortoiseshell coat, wise eyes that seem to tell stories, and heart ready to give endless love, Elma is the kind of special kitty that turns a house into a home.
Elma has all the qualities you’d want in a lifelong companion: she’s affectionate, curious, gentle, friendly, and playful. Whether she’s exploring the corners of a cozy room or curling up beside you for a peaceful nap, Elma lives to make every moment sweeter. She’s also house‑trained, spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations — all the essentials for a smooth transition into your family. Petfinder
