Elphaba

My story

Elphaba: A Little Patience for a Lifetime of Love 💜🐾 Hello, friends! Meet Elphaba, a 1.5-year-old Ragdoll mix who has come such a long way since her rough start in life. You may remember the Pampers Kittens—rescued from a diaper box left by a dumpster. While her journey began with fear and uncertainty, Elphaba has been working hard to build her confidence, and she’s now ready to find a patient and understanding forever home! Elphaba is still learning to fully trust humans, and she will need time, patience, and a gentle approach to truly blossom. She warms up best when given space to adjust at her own pace. Once she feels safe, she’ll weave between your legs, rub against you for pets, and lean into those oh-so-good bum scratches! Loud noises and quick movements still startle her, but with reassurance, she recovers quickly. To help her settle in, Elphaba will need to start in a crate—a safe space where she can observe, decompress, and get comfortable with her new surroundings. She also must have a confident, friendly cat in the home to help guide her and continue building her trust. She thrives with feline companionship but isn’t suited for a home with kids or dogs. Elphaba is a furry, purry work in progress, and for the right adopter—one willing to give her the patience she needs—she will be an incredibly rewarding companion. If you’re looking for a special kitty to nurture and watch bloom, Elphaba is your girl! Thank you for your interest in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue!
