Elsa
- Animal Name: Elsa
- Listing Date: 07/08/2010
- Date of Birth: 14 yrs old
- Weight: ~17 lbs
- Breed: DMH
- Physical Description: Siamese/tortoise-shell colors with bright blue eyes. Chubby!
- Personality Description: Elsa is looking for a quiet indoor or indoor/outdoor home, preferably with no other pets. She will sometimes get along with a dog or a cat though, if they give her space and don't need to interact with her much. Elsa is definitely a people cat. Shy at first, she is quick to make friends with anyone who will scratch her back or give her a bite of something yummy. Like many cats, she is affectionate, but on her own terms. Chin, ear, and back scratches are welcome anyplace, anytime, but being picked up and held isn’t always acceptable. She likes plenty of attention, but she isn't too demanding- she is content just to have you around and to sit near you. She is fond of being with you on the bed or couch, and especially likes to cuddle under the covers. Her main hobbies are discovering new places to sleep, returning to the old sleeping spots, chasing grasshoppers, exploring cabinets, and of course, eating.
- Spayed/Neutered: Yes
- Vaccinations: UTD. FeLV/FIV negative. Regular vet visits and dental care.
- Animal History: see her petfinder.com adoptable-pet classifieds ad, search "Elsa" under North Carolina

- Animal History: Meet Cindy, a beautiful one and a half year, 40 lb Boxer/Beagle mix. She was recently rescued from death row at Robeson County Animal Control and is thriving in her foster home. She has a charismatic smile, complete with an adorable underbite that leaves a lil bit of tongue sticking out most of the time, extra large ears and a winning personality. Judging by the scar reaching from her neck down to the base of her tail, she hasn't had an easy life, but she is great with people, children and other dogs. Her loves include bouncing around in the backyard, rawhide toys, giving kisses and being outdoors. She is housetrained, very quiet, and would make a fantastic family pet. She will be fully vetted, including spayed and vaccinated, at the time of adoption. If you're looking for a little more love in your life, please email for an adoption application. Thanks!
