In the shelter’s words

*This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Hello, I'm Ellie. I’m an older lady with a lot of love left to give, and I'm looking for someone special to share my golden years with. I'm sweet, gentle, and mellow. I absolutely love to be pet and will purr, rub against you, and crawl into your lap. I'd prefer to be the only cat in the home but I don't mind respectful dogs. I'm diabetic, so I need a little extra care, but I promise I'm worth it! My diabetes is managed with insulin and a low-carb diet of wet food. Please don’t be scared of this - I’m a very good girl for my quick pokes and my foster mom can teach you. My long fur can get a bit tangled, but with your help, I can stay comfortable and beautiful. I'm looking for a warm lap, a gentle hand, and a kind heart. I'm looking for a forever home where I can spend my golden years being loved and cared for. Will you be my forever friend? Ellie is an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
