About Ella

Meet Ella, an exceptionally sweet black female cat. Although she is nearly blind, this 1-year-old Domestic Short Hair is healthy and full of life. Ella's condition, which was either a birth defect or developed shortly after, does not hinder her affectionate nature. She thrives in a quieter environment and enjoys cuddling in laps. Ella currently shares her space with two gentle kennel mates, so she gets along well with other relaxed cats. She would likely adapt well to a home with understanding, gentle children. Just a few accommodations, like leaving familiar furniture in place, will help her navigate her surroundings. If you're looking to make a loving home for Ella, she'd be thrilled to meet you!
