Meet Elodie, a big, beautiful and sweet 2-year-old “shorthair†cat. Her smooth coat and dazzling emerald eyes match her queen-like personality. She is mellow and independent and enjoys being pet, brushed and chasing cat toys.
Surprisingly, Elodie has been at the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center for three months and is waiting her forever home. She would thrive in a calm, quiet home – and her adoption fee has been reduced to just $20 for an approved applicant.
