Meet Effies, a lean and regal Seal Point Siamese who recently arrived from San Francisco Animal Care and Control. With her striking blue eyes, elegant coloring and magnificent ears, she carries herself like feline royalty.

Effies may be timid and cautious at first, preferring to take a moment to study new people before making her approach. A tasty Churu can help speed up the introduction, especially if her new visitor understands that every proper audience with royalty should include refreshments.

Once Effies feels comfortable, her affectionate side shines through. She will come forward for pets, offer enthusiastic head bumps and purr away as she enjoys the attention. Give this beautiful girl a little patience and she may soon reward you with all the love of a devoted companion.
