Elfy

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 17 years

Elfy is a 17-year-old pretty gray tabby cat. Blind and deaf, this adorable little senior is still a ball of love. 💕 We are looking for a calm and secure home for her, without young children or other animals. A secure balcony would allow her to enjoy the sun safely, despite her disabilities. ☀️ Elfy needs a gentle, present, and attentive person who will offer her a peaceful and surrounded end of life.

Elfy est une jolie chatte tigrée grise de 17 ans. Malvoyante et malentendante, cette adorable petite senior n’en est pas moins une véritable boule d’amour. 💕 Elfy souffre d’une hyperthyroïdie pour laquelle elle a traitement matin et soir. Nous recherchons pour elle un foyer calme et sécurisant, sans enfants en bas âge ni autres animaux. Un balcon sécurisé lui permettrait de profiter agréablement du soleil, sans danger malgré ses handicaps. ☀️ Elfy a besoin d’une personne douce, présente et attentive, qui saura lui offrir une fin de vie paisible et entourée.

About Elfy

What life with Elfy looks like

Elfy is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats in Switzerland.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elfy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elfy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elfy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elfy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Elfy already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Elfy isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Ligue Vaudoise pour la Défense des Animaux — La Maison des Chats early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elfy and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
