About Ellie and Hazel

Ellie and Hazel are two sisters who were adopted as kittens but recently found themselves back at the rescue after a rough situation. Their former adopter attempted to leave them at a humane society, but thankfully, the staff recognized their need and reached out to us. Initially traumatized, both cats took a couple of weeks to acclimate to their new environment. Hazel remains very shy, while Ellie has begun to seek out attention and is quite affectionate now. They're looking for a patient adopter willing to give them a loving home where they can thrive again. If you're interested in offering a second chance to these sweet girls, or if a long-term foster situation works better for you, please reach out. It's often difficult to find new homes for adult cats in our area. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
