Whether it’s lounging on the couch or taking leisurely strolls around the neighborhood, Charlie is always content as long as she’s by your side.
Her laid-back demeanor makes her a great fit for a home where she can relax and unwind with her loved ones. Despite her age, Charlie still has plenty of love to give and many happy years ahead to share with her forever family.

Ella is enchanting and resilient
Meet Ella, a brave and resilient kitty with a story as enchanting as her namesake. Ella’s journey began in a colony where she charmed everyone with her friendly demeanor. Always the first to greet the feeders and eager for affection, Ella was the heart of the colony.
However, fate took a cruel turn one fateful night when Ella disappeared, only to return days later badly injured. Her leg was fractured beyond repair, leading to the need for amputation. Because of the trauma, Ella’s spirit became fragile.
Placed in a shelter, in a room with barking dogs, Ella grew terrified and withdrawn. The once sociable cat became skittish and unapproachable, a shell of her former self, with a broken spirit.
Thankfully, a compassionate rescuer turned foster mom intervened. Recognizing Ella’s distress, she brought her home, removed the cone, and showered her with love and understanding. Though Ella still bears the scars of her ordeal, her resilience shines through.
Now, Ella spends her days hopping around on three legs, a silent testament to her strength. She may be hesitant at first, but once she feels safe, she’ll curl up on the bed beside you, silently asking for the love and TLC she craves.
Ella’s journey is far from over, but with the right person by her side, she’s sure to rediscover the sweet purr-sonality that captivated hearts before.
Born in 2022, Ella is ready to embark on her next chapter, filled with love, comfort, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Will you be the one to give her the happy ending she deserves?
