GLOGIRLY: 15 Week Countdown – Week 4: Whats up 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 “group” cats and a big supplier of reasonably priced spay/neuter providers. They’ve spayed/neutered over 42,000 cats at their clinic, stopping the births of a whole bunch of 1000’s of undesirable cats in Denver and its surrounding areas. 

Ellie was dwelling in a foster residence once 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 singular one given the precautions so many shelters and clinics have in place as a result of Coronavirus pandemic. Glogirly crammed out her adoption utility on-line, and as soon as it was accredited, 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 onerous time imagining adopting a cat with out having 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 acquired 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…now we have to undertake her!” And the very subsequent day, Glogirly and Gloman drove to The Feline Repair to select up Ellie and produce her residence, to her new without end residence.

You are most likely 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 lovely 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 all the time had a really onerous time with new animal smells. Actually, when Katie would go to the vet, Glogiry must separate them for a couple of days after they returned residence. 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. Positive sufficient, there was quite a lot of hissing, growling, and moaning these first couple of days. Ellie’s entire world had modified too. New individuals, a brand new setting, and a brand new cat. Whereas in her foster residence, she did not have any contact with the resident cats within the residence. She wanted a bit time to acclimate and really feel secure. We supervised their contact and Glogirly slept within the visitor room with Ellie. 

Then one thing superb and great and exquisite occurred. 

As Waffles grew to become extra comfy with this tiny new kitten, Ellie grew to become 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 youngsters. Waffles has been extremely light together with her. It is as if he is conscious of his measurement and energy, and purposely exhibits Ellie a delicate 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 prime of the mattress.

After which this occurred.

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

Ellie has discovered her place on this planet. She’s such a contented kitten. A lover, a cuddler, and a gamer. She watches Waffles intently 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 evening in mattress with Glogirly and Gloman, she was was proper there, all evening 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 impartial 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!
