GLOGIRLY: 15 Week Countdown – Week 4: Hi there Ellie!

For greater than twenty years, The Feline Repair has championed the welfare of cats by offering a wellness clinic, spay/neuter providers, a humane TNR program, and adopting & fostering. They’re Colorado’s main spay/neuter supply for free-roaming “neighborhood” cats and a big supplier of inexpensive spay/neuter providers. They’ve spayed/neutered over 42,000 cats at their clinic, stopping the births of tons of of 1000’s of undesirable cats in Denver and its surrounding areas. 

Ellie was residing in a foster house after we discovered her on-line by means of Petfinder. (The identical web site we used to seek out Waffles virtually 8 years in the past!) Our adoption expertise was a novel one given the precautions so many shelters and clinics have in place as a result of Coronavirus pandemic. Glogirly stuffed out her adoption software on-line, and as soon as it was authorised, a Zoom meet-and-greet was arrange for Ellie & her foster mother, Glogirly & Gloman, and Nicole, the adoption coordinator from The Feline Repair. 

Earlier than the decision, Glogirly was having a really exhausting time imagining adopting a cat with out with the ability to be with them in individual. To carry them, speak to them, and play. She had butterflies in her abdomen when the Zoom name began. She and Gloman bought to see Ellie work together together with her foster mother and play with feathers and pink dots. Waffles was sleeping on Gloman’s lap throughout the entire name…it was a household affair! 

It took all of 15 seconds for Glogirly to fall in love and whisper to Gloman, “She’s the one…we have now to undertake her!” And the very subsequent day, Glogirly and Gloman drove to The Feline Repair to select up Ellie and produce her house, to her new perpetually house.

You are in all probability questioning the place her identify got here from. Her foster identify was Ella. Such a reasonably identify which completely fits her candy and female face, with that stunning eyeliner! She’s SO tiny and cute that we determined to name her Ellie. Miss Ellie Stomach. Gloman calls her his candy little bean. …like Jelly Bellys.  

One Week Later…
We had no concept how Waffles would take to a brand new kitten within the household. He has at all times had a really exhausting time with new animal smells. In truth, when Katie would go to the vet, Glogiry must separate them for just a few days after they returned house. Waffles was so delicate to the unfamiliar smells, it was as if he did not even acknowledge Katie.

So we have been prepared and had our visitor room arrange for Ellie. Certain sufficient, there was plenty of hissing, growling, and moaning these first couple of days. Ellie’s complete world had modified too. New individuals, a brand new atmosphere, and a brand new cat. Whereas in her foster house, she did not have any contact with the resident cats within the house. She wanted somewhat time to acclimate and really feel secure. We supervised their contact and Glogirly slept within the visitor room with Ellie. 

Then one thing wonderful and great and delightful occurred. 

As Waffles turned extra snug with this tiny new kitten, Ellie turned extra assured and started exploring the entire home. Fairly quickly, when the feather toy got here out, each Ellie and Waffles have been taking part in. 

Subsequent, they began chasing one another round the home, wrestling like a few children. Waffles has been extremely light together with her. It is as if he is conscious of his dimension and power, and purposely exhibits Ellie a mild contact. 

Ellie has found a brand new and SUPER enjoyable toy. An orange striped TAIL!

Waffles’ extra-long and wiggly tail is simply an excessive amount of of a temptation for her. However when she chases it, and even catches it, Waffles exhibits endurance and compassion.

Quickly, Waffles began sleeping within the visitor room. In Ellie’s Sleepypod. Often, whereas she slept on high of the mattress.

After which this occurred.

Simply eight brief days, they usually’ve develop into BFFs. 

Ellie has discovered her place on the planet. She’s such a cheerful kitten. A lover, a cuddler, and a gamer. She watches Waffles carefully and is fast to repeat. As soon as she noticed Waffles sleeping on Gloman’s lap, she did the identical. As soon as she noticed that Waffles sleeps each night time in mattress with Glogirly and Gloman, she was was proper there, all night time lengthy.

And for Waffles, it is a complete new world too. Already he has a relationship with Ellie that he is by no means had with one other animal. Katie was extremely loving too, however she was far more unbiased and loved Waffles from a distance. Now he has an opportunity to expertise life up shut and purrsonal with one other kitty. 

Right here we go!

We won’t wait to share extra of Ellie and Waffles’ adventures with you!
