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

For greater than 20 years, The Feline Repair has championed the welfare of cats by offering a wellness clinic, spay/neuter companies, a humane TNR program, and adopting & fostering. They’re Colorado’s main spay/neuter supply for free-roaming “group” cats and a major supplier of inexpensive spay/neuter companies. They’ve spayed/neutered over 42,000 cats at their clinic, stopping the births of tons of of hundreds of undesirable cats in Denver and its surrounding areas. 

Ellie was residing in a foster dwelling once we discovered her on-line by means of Petfinder. (The identical web site we used to search out Waffles nearly 8 years in the past!) Our adoption expertise was a singular one given the precautions so many shelters and clinics have in place because of the Coronavirus pandemic. Glogirly crammed out her adoption software 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 laborious time imagining adopting a cat with out with the ability to be with them in particular person. To carry them, speak to them, and play. She had butterflies in her abdomen when the Zoom name began. She and Gloman obtained to see Ellie work together along with her foster mother and play with feathers and purple 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 choose up Ellie and produce her dwelling, to her new perpetually dwelling.

You are in all probability questioning the place her title got here from. Her foster title was Ella. Such a fairly title 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 all the time had a really laborious time with new animal smells. In truth, when Katie would go to the vet, Glogiry must separate them for a number of days after they returned dwelling. 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 numerous 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 dwelling, she did not have any contact with the resident cats within the dwelling. She wanted just a little time to acclimate and really feel protected. We supervised their contact and Glogirly slept within the visitor room with Ellie. 

Then one thing superb and fantastic 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 along with her. It is as if he is conscious of his dimension 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 high of the mattress.

After which this occurred.

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

Ellie has discovered her place on the earth. She’s such a contented 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 way 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!

We will not wait to share extra of Ellie and Waffles’ adventures with you!
