Meet Ella😻
Ella is a very affectionate adult domestic short hair brown tabby cat that we estimate to be about 2-3 years old (estimated DOB 5/10/22). Ella was taken in by Sioux Empire TNR Coalition through the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society along with her two kittens. They were too ill with coccidia and ringworm to stay at the shelter but they thrived in foster care and both kittens have since found homes.
Ella would do well with other cats, children and so far she hasn't shown any dislike of dogs. She does have some special needs. She has an immune disorder known as Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex which can lead to itchy, inflamed skin. Her treatment is fairly simple - she needs to eat a hypoallergenic cat food which can be ordered through the clinic or from any online pet supply store like Chewy.com. She may also need an occasional steroid prescription but otherwise she can live a long happy life with the condition and since we have had her on the hypoallergenic food, she has done very well with no flare ups.
We're hoping to find another cat owner who feeds their cat the same diet willing to take on another cat, or someone who isn't put off by very minimal special care requirements. Ella is absolutely worth it - she is the kind of cat who will always make you feel loved and keep you company!
She is fixed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. Her adoption fee through Sioux Empire TNR Coalition is $100. You can meet Ella at the clinic Monday through Friday during our open hours and by appointment on the weekend by contacting [email protected].
