Ellie is a young black and white cat with a playful spirit and a gentle, somewhat timid nature. At just about a year old, she thrives alongside feline companions—her sister Opie is ready to join her in a new home, and even her mother, Aunt Bea, is available for adoption with her. Ellie is active and healthy, and has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped with lifetime registration included. She takes a little while to warm up and does best in a home where someone will give her the patience she needs to overcome her shyness. Ellie is house trained and gets along with other cats and children. She’s ready to meet potential adopters virtually or in person at her foster home in the South Loop after you submit an application. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
