My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey everybody, I’m Ellie. I was abandoned outside when I was very young. I was hiding in some bushes when a nice lady found me and took me inside. So far I am loving the indoor life.

My foster mom says that I am shy but fierce. One of my very favorite things to do is to play. I prefer soft toys that I can roll around and bunny kick. I always win those battles! I have a favorite purple stuffed toy that I carry around with me. My foster mom says I can keep it forever. There are two bigger kittens in my foster home, and I really like to play and wrestle with them, but boys can be so rough. I’d love to have a gentle playmate in my new home though. I also like to snuggle with my foster family. They even let me get in bed with them if I want!

I’m still a little shy from my outdoor days, but I’m growing more and more brave each day. I think I would like to find a forever home with a friend for me to play with and people who will be patient with me and help me to feel safe and loved.

The best way to ensure you have a good chance of adopting me is to fill out an online application at www.henricohumane.org/adopt/application-for-cats/. We take applications on a first come, first served basis, so applying quickly is always recommended!

Our adoption events are every Saturday, excluding holidays, at the Petco next to Trader Joe's in Short Pump from 11:00 to 3:00 (11331 West Broad Street, Glen Allen, VA). To find out if I will be attending this week's adoption event, please email cats@henricohumane.org.

If you're not sure which cat you're interested in, or are just beginning to search for a companion, our adoption coordinators can help! Just fill out a short questionnaire at www.henricohumane.org/adopt/cat-adoption-questionnaire/ that will help us match you with our wonderful cats or visit us at our adoption stand.
