female, medium, adult
DESCRIPTION
Ellie! She’s a fantastic senior lady looking for a comfortable life to spend her golden years. Ellie has spent some time with one of our wonderful fosters, who had this to say about her: "I’ve had the pleasure of fostering Ellie... Even though she was a little nervous, she made herself comfortable in our laps almost right away and claimed a spot on the bed the very first night. She wants nothing more than to be a buddy to her human. Although she is a mature girl, she would often let loose her ‘inner kitten’ and go zooming around the house and up the stairs! She was curious about dogs when they came by, but never growled. She would make a wonderful addition to any home." Ellie has previously lived with a dog as well as other cats, and may be amenable to doing so again. Does Ellie sound like the purr-fect feline to add to your home? Come and visit!
If you’d like to meet our available pets, please check the "shelter information" box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Michael R.
