About Ella
Ella catches your eye immediately—a petite, striking mix of Turkish Van and Manx with a snow-white short coat, accented by a few brown tabby patches on her head and hip. Her emerald almond-shaped eyes and that cute brown bobtail nub set her apart. Ella’s independent streak runs strong. She isn’t the cuddly sort; she’ll do adorable things to get your attention, but she spends a lot of her time perched above the scene, observing or exploring. Her inquisitiveness means no bookshelf or banister is out of bounds, and she’s known to balance on a door if given the chance. Ella has a fondness for water and seeks out toys and play—she’ll happily interact for hours if you’re game. When Ella wants to play, she uses her mouth more than her paws, which can startle someone new to her breed. She needs consistent behavioral boundaries, especially since she gets bored quickly without enough enrichment. Patience and understanding are key. Ella coexists with other cats as long as they respect her space and does not seek out their company. We don’t know for sure how she would do with children, given her play style and independence. She bonds closely with her person and expects you to learn her cues. With the right match, she’ll share your space—and set her own terms. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
