1109 - Ellie

💖🐙 MEET ELLIE 🐙💖

Hey, my name is Ellie. My Foster Mum calls me Ellie-bo-bellie or Ellie-dactyl! She thinks she is soooo funny! My story is a long one. I was adopted a few years ago but went missing. I was found by the Angels this year and I came to my Foster Mum who has been looking after me ever since. Now I am ready for my second chance at a forever family and my Foster Mum says I definitely deserve it.

Nature
I am a sweet little lady who loves pats and cuddles. My Foster Mum says I wouldn’t hurt a fly. I have a husky meow and I love talking to my humans. I am pretty chill and don’t really do a lot of playing. I am too busy snuggling my Foster Mum. I am very low maintenance and would love a forever home to call my own.

Companions (Children, Cats & Dogs)
I had my own room in foster care for a little while, but I am now spending time with the other cats at my foster home. I tend to avoid them and keep to myself. I am a very submissive kitty and would need a feline friend who isn’t too bossy. I would be fine as an only cat.

There is a dog at my foster home who I haven’t met so I’m not too sure that I’d like living with a pooch. I can be a bit clumsy so would be best suited to a home with older children or just adults.

Likes / Dislikes
I love my foster parents and getting smooches from them. I do like dinner time and my biscuits. In fact, as soon as my Foster Mum gets the Felix pouches out, I start prancing and running around the room. I love getting brushed as I do lose a fair bit of hair.

My PURR-fect home would be with an older family. I would love to be a solo kitty so I can keep all the human attention to myself. I am incredibly friendly and affectionate so need a human who is OK with all the kitty kisses. A kitty tower or somewhere cosy to sleep would also be awesome!

1109 - Ellie
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Colour: Calico
DOB: 19/02/2019
Adoption Fee: $150

*Ellie’s adoption fee includes vet check, sterilisation, vaccination, microchip, flea and worm treatment

Medical Notes: Ellie came back to us with mild neurological issues, including mild ataxia (poor muscle control that causes clumsy voluntary movements), and not always landing perfectly after jumping. Ellie has been in our care since September 2022 and has not suffered any seizures during this time that could be a cause of the neurological issues, infectious causes have also been ruled out. Potentially a head trauma whilst she was missing could have caused the neurological issues.

Ellie was exposed to cat flu, a respiratory infection. She did not show any symptoms and was given the all clear by the vet.

Ellie has had feline corona virus detected in a blood test, this is a common virus that cats are exposed to. Cats that contract corona virus are generally asymptomatic or have mild diarrhoea. There is a small chance that corona can mutate into feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), which is a fatal feline disease. Until recently, FIP was considered to be a fatal disease however recent advances in veterinary pharmaceuticals means that there are some experimental treatment options available that have had success in treating FIP. Risk can be reduced by making sure your cat has regular health checks and vaccinations, high quality nutrition, keeping cat numbers in the house low, and attempting to keep the environment as stress free as possible. Ellie had toxoplasmosis IgG antibodies detected, which means she was infected with toxoplasmosis at some point in the past, but this is now not an active infection.
