**I'm available for adoption as a Working Cat!**
· Intake Reason: Returned adoption-not the right match
· Socialization: Semi-Feral
· WCHS recommends I am an: Outdoor Cat
Ellie's story started outdoors, where she was born before coming to WCHS as a very under socialized kitten who wasn't sure what to make of people. She spent time in a foster home learning that humans aren't so scary and was even adopted for a short while before finding her way back to us. While Ellie has decided indoor life isn't quite her style, WCHS believes she'd thrive in an outdoor home where she can be herself. With patience, she may even decide her caretaker is worthy of friendship! One thing is certain: this playful girl absolutely loves ball track toys.
Working cats are the unsung heroes of the outdoor community. These outdoor-savvy cats thrive in environments where they can put their natural instincts to work. They excel at pest and disease control, helping keep rodents at bay, and they often form bonds with the people and animals who share their space.
Adopting a working cat is simple and incredibly rewarding. Caretakers must provide the essentials-shelter, food, and water-and have a small temporary space, such as a large wire dog crate, to quarantine the cat for three weeks after adoption. This settling in period helps the cat learn that your property is home.
All working cats come already spayed/neutered and vaccinated, and adoption fees are "name your own price." If you're looking for a natural pest control partner who brings a little extra life, your property, a working cat might be the perfect fit.
