Elaine is a grey and white tabby who came from a tough situation at a trailer park but was lucky enough to be rescued alongside her only surviving daughter, Ellie. Both Elaine and Ellie had some positive early handling, so they didn’t need to be trapped, which helps with trust—though Elaine is still naturally a shy, timid cat. She warms up when given patience, and really enjoys being brushed once she settles in. Elaine and Ellie are a deeply bonded pair who will need to stay together. A quiet home, with someone ready to offer gentle understanding and time, will help both of them blossom further. Their biggest needs are patience and a calm environment, rather than any medical requirements. Elaine is estimated to be about 1 1/2 years old (born September 15, making her a Virgo—a sign known for a tender, observant nature if you’re into astrology). She gets along with other cats but is not a fit for homes with dogs or children. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
