Ellie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Meet Lovely Ellie Ellie is a beautiful girl of around 8 years old who is looking for a calm, understanding home to call her own. She can be a little timid when meeting new people and settling into unfamiliar surroundings, so she will need patient owners who are happy to give her the time and space she needs to build her confidence. Once she feels safe and secure, Ellie is a friendly, affectionate companion who enjoys some fuss and attention from people who understand and respect her body language. Ellie also has a playful side and loves spending time outdoors. While she enjoys exploring, from her history she is not one for venturing too far and is happiest staying close to home. We believe Ellie would thrive as the only pet in the household, where she can enjoy all the love and attention for herself. She may be able to live with a calm, sensible teenager, provided they meet successfully at the shelter. Ellie does have a medical condition that will require ongoing management. Our team will be happy to discuss this in more detail with potential adopters. If you think you could offer Ellie the quiet, loving home she deserves, please complete a Perfect Match form to find out more about her.

About Ellie

What life with Ellie looks like

Ellie is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at RSPCA Little Valley Animal Shelter in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ellie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ellie?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RSPCA Little Valley Animal Shelter handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ellie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ellie if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — RSPCA Little Valley Animal Shelter will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ellie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ellie isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with RSPCA Little Valley Animal Shelter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ellie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
