About this Cat
*This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Hello, I'm Ellie. I’m an older lady with a lot of love left to give, and I'm looking for someone special to share my golden years with. I'm sweet, gentle, and mellow. I absolutely love to be pet and will purr, rub against you, and crawl into your lap. I'm diabetic, so I need a little extra care, but I promise I'm worth it! My diabetes is managed with insulin and a low-carb diet of wet food. Please don’t be scared of this - I’m a very good girl for my quick pokes and my foster mom can teach you. My long fur can get a bit tangled, but with your help, I can stay comfortable and beautiful. I'm looking for a warm lap, a gentle hand, and a kind heart. I'm looking for a forever home where I can spend my golden years being loved and cared for. Will you be my forever friend? Ellie is an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Adopt Ellie and Receive Ellie's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Ellie's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Ellie's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Ellie, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Ellie's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Ellie was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Ellie’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Ellie’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Ellie’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
