Description:
Isabelle ""Izzy"" Anna, is a smart girl. She has the softest, long and luxurious fur. Her markings are beautiful. She has a mask, tail and some spots on her back of grey. She loves to nap, look out the window and play with her sister. She is so clever, she figured out how to open a latched plastic bin to get to the paper towels and shred 'em, and had a blast doing it. Her paws have great dexterity. It is fun to watch her paw around a toy mouse or play soccer with a bouncy ball. Her favorite game by far is chasing a feather or ribbon wand. She leaps and snags it with great agility.She started out life living on the streets and is still learning the ways of an indoor kitten. Her ear was clipped when she was spayed because she wasn't so sure about these scary humans, poking and prodding her at the vet's office. She is shy, but has made great strides in her foster home. Isabelle Anna shows affection to her foster parents by sitting next to them, welcoming a chin scratch and a relaxed pet. She asks them to play by pawing at their hands or sitting on their laptop when they are working. She greets friendly visitors if she is given time to watch them for a bit from her safe spot. She will do best in a quieter home. She is bonded and needs to be adopted with her sister, Emmy, into a home with no other existing pets so she can establish her own territory and build her confidence.She needs someone that will be willing to go slow and take the time to get to know her on her terms. Busy families with young kids are not a good match. We can see her with a single person or a family with a teenager who has the time to bond with her and would respect her boundaries, but also keep encouraging her and her sister to be brave. Once you earn her trust, she will give you the loving looks and you will fall under her spell. She deserves a home of her own with her sister, Emmy. They just need someone with a big heart to give them chance.Isabelle Anna has tested positive for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), a virus that attacks and weakens a cat's immune system. Cats with FeLV may live shorter than average lives, but they can be happy, normal cats in the meantime. It's best if FeLV+ cats stay indoors, eat healthy foods, live low-stress lives, and have annual preventive care visits with their veterinarian.
