Ella
Tortoiseshell / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · Baby (11 months) · Female · Medium · Harrisburg, PA
Notes from Castaway Critters, the James A. Hueholt Memorial Foundation
Ella is a stunning tortoiseshell with soulful eyes, a gentle personality, and a playful side that comes out when she's feeling comfortable. She loves relaxing in sunny windows, curling up in her cat tree, chasing wand toys, and never turns down a Churu or Temptations treat.
Raised in foster care from the time she was just a few days old, Ella has blossomed into a sweet, observant companion who enjoys a peaceful home and the company of people she trusts. She's happiest when she can interact at her own pace, accepting gentle pets and choosing when she'd like to be close.
Ella's confidence continues to grow, and it's incredibly rewarding to watch her become more comfortable each day. She'll do best with a family that understands that the strongest bonds are often built slowly—and once you've earned her trust, you'll have a devoted companion for years to come.
If you're looking for a quiet, loving cat whose affection is genuine and deeply rewarding, Ella is ready to find the forever home she's been waiting for.
Ella is less than a year old, is spayed, up to date on shots, litter trained, negative for FIV/FeLV, and microchipped. If you are interested in meeting or adopting her, please fill out an application on our website https://www.castawaycritters.org/apply-to-adopt .
