Elliandra Domestic Short Hair Mix Elk River, MN

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Hello there!

Are you on the lookout for a special feline in your life? Not afraid of a little "project"? Do you have endless amounts of patience, and are willing to let said kitty come around on her own time?

I just might have the purrrrect opportunity for you!

My name is Elliandra and I'm looking for a special cat-loving home. I absolutely need to go into a home with another cat - preferably one who is confident and can show me the ropes. I think other cats are pretty darn spectacular and would love getting to know a new friend.

As for humans, they still freak me out a little bit. I will most certainly hide the first few weeks. That would likely improve quickly if I have a nice, confident cat companion to model off of. I'm not aggressive at all, but I will hide. I do currently allow some petting by my humans so I think eventually with a good role model I can turn into a more snuggly cat you can adore for life.

I was originally part of an outdoor cat colony but I was too friendly to go back to living life on the outs. I much prefer the comfort of being inside.
Are you up for a challenge to win my heart over?

Elliandra is from a reservation.

Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats' emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of "Single Kitten Syndrome" (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten's most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
