Meet ELLIE! She is a female Tortie, 5 years in age. ELLIE is very loving and affectionate. She loves cuddles, and would like more than anything to be at your side as you sit and relax at home. ELLIE is an absolute sweetheart to other cats. She is a loyal friend and will greet you as you come in the door. She will make an amazing companion for anyone looking to give and receive lots of love. ELLIE is sure to bring joy and life to her forever home. Apply to meet her today!
If you are not located near our rescue or if the drive is a problem for you, please still apply, as we bring animals out to as far as San Diego in order to bring them to their forever homes. Currently, we are driving animals far out on an as-needed basis!
If an animal is posted from us, they are AVAILABLE, however we sometimes do already have an adopter in place to meet them - however, please apply directly ASAP to ensure you get considered to meet them! We approve based on the best home, not first-come-first-serve.
If you are interested in adopting and think you can provide a great home for this pet, please complete an online application so that we can better assess if this pet is a good match for you and your family. Once that is complete and we've approved you, we can set up a time for you to meet your potential companion for life! We are strictly by appointment-only. We apologize if you cannot reach us via phone, it is a personal phone # - we recommend emailing at cats@vida4animals.org for the quickest response. We apologize if we do not get to you quickly - we only have a few staff and volunteers, and we must focus on finding our animals good homes, but if you would like to help us improve and volunteer, let us know!
