About Ellie

Meet Ellie Poor Ellie was six years old when she was rescued from a terrible hoarding situation and taken to a kill shelter. The volunteers there fell in love with her and asked us if we could take her in and find her a good home. We happily did so. Ellie is seven years old now. She's always been a little shy and quiet, but super sweet. She loves attention and welcomes pets. With so much going for her, Ellie was fairly quickly adopted. She was doing great in her new home. She had really blossomed. Her mom said she was sweet, friendly, cuddly, easy to hold, she loved attention, and she loved belly rubs. She was a great little kitty. After only three months though, Ellie was returned. Ellie made the mistake of tinkling outside the box a few times. After not finding anything physically wrong with her, Ellie came back. We're grateful her mom did the right thing, but it hurts our hearts that Ellie was so easily given up on. She didn't do it on purpose. Ellie was trying to communicate that something wasn't right. Since coming back, she's been quiet and shy and a little defeated. Staff and volunteers are working overtime showing her that she's loved and she's responding, but she's grieving for her home. She purrs quietly. She sits in the sun. She loves being petted and will lean into you. Ellie does fine with the other kitties and easily coexists with them. She wants so badly to be brave, but there are just so many changes and noises at the shelter for this gentle soul right now. Ellie has used her litter box perfectly since coming back, so we don't know what happened. We do know that Ellie's perfect home is out there still. She's had a hard life filled with disappointment. We pray for a soft landing in a caring home. Ellie is a gem and deserves a chance. Someone who will commit to her and let her know she matters.
