Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Elmsford, New York

Birthdate: 09/17/2025

Breed: One of a kind

Just a kitten herself, ELLA has had a lot of life experience. Having had a "teenage pregnancy" she never lost her maternal instinct and in a foster home down South, would occasionally "steal" another cat's kittens to nurture. Don't be fooled by an initial sense of her having a reserved personality. The minute she knows you come in friendship...it's on!! Sweet boops with her nose and a bump with her rump to let you know she's accepted your friend request. Adorably, she'll even wrap her tail around you like a boa! Now let's face it, this kid's got great cheekbones and more. A ticked tabby coat that boasts a russet undercoat when brushed back and dark espresso paw pads and toe beans make her unique and lovely - but it's her naive, giving nature that we find most appealing.
