About Eloise

Click apply to start the adoption process. Eloise is a truly elegant domestic long hair cat ready to bring beauty and companionship into her third and hopefully forever home. She’s a wonderful match for anyone who spends a lot of time at home, such as retirees or remote workers, and adores napping on your desk—sometimes even helping out by "typing" messages! Eloise's journey hasn’t been easy, having lost two loving owners to sudden tragedies, and she’s faced the challenges of adjusting to new environments with grace and resilience. Her foster experiences highlight just how content she is when brushed and pampered, but she’s clear about her boundaries and communicates when she wants space, especially when feeling overstimulated. Eloise’s past has made her very selective in her friendships with other animals; while she is comfortable with well-mannered dogs, she must be the only cat in the home and doesn’t like sharing a litter box. Because she prefers peace and routine, she’s best suited for a calm household without small children, where her signals and communication are respected. The perfect adopter will be patient, attentive to feline body language, and eager to reward this beautiful girl with the steady love she deserves. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
