About Alice

Your new best friend is just one click away. Eloise’s journey began in the toughest of times—her mother was abandoned while pregnant in freezing temperatures, and she spent her earliest days struggling to survive on the streets. For her first few months, human kindness was a foreign concept. That changed when a compassionate person stepped in and offered her safety and care. Now, at 14 months old, Eloise is learning warmth and affection. Initially shy, she reveals her gentle and loving nature once she feels safe. Petting brings her pure joy, and she’s quick to lean into affection from those she trusts. Eloise is friendly with other cats, and while she’s still deciding how she feels about dogs, she approaches them with curiosity and hope. With her beautiful short calico coat of white, black, and orange, Eloise is a delicate spirit on the verge of blooming. She’s looking for a patient, loving family that will give her room to flourish and become the wonderful cat she’s meant to be. Could your home be where Eloise blossoms into her happiest self?
