About Ella
I am a sweet lady. I need some time to warm up to you first before we can be friends. I will find a safe hiding spot but once I am comfortable I enjoy pats and a playtime. I just need some time to settle and adjust to my new home.
I am looking for a quiet home with someone who has had experience with my breed before and understands my needs. I will need to be kept safely inside.
I can share with other cats.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
