In March, we decided that we are ready to add another furry friend to our family. But with the stay-at-home orders in place all the cats in our vicinity were adopted out and shelters were closed. It was not until mid April that I found our kitten on an adoption website and went ahead to pre-adopt here. Since she was only 4 weeks old at that point, we were not able to bring her home until mid May. Normally, cats are adopted out at 12 weeks old and once they are neutered/ spayed and got their vaccines but because of Covid, we were able to bring our furbaby home once she was 8 weeks old and at least 2 lbs.
So on Wednesday, May 13th, the children and I drove an hour to pick her up. We are pleased to introduce to you: Ella (lovingly called Ella Labella).
While Ella is a family pet, Amelia is the one who wanted another cat and will mostly take care of her.
Indy, our 11 year old tabby cat, is not so sure yet of the little one but she fits right in with our guinea pigs. Pictures from the first day at home:
Indy is still figuring out why she is here but they get closer each day and share already each others food dishes. Indy loves to eat, so as long as Ella is willing to share, she got a friend in her.
At night, she sleeps in Amelia's room, pretty much just as she imagined she would. These two are too cute:
At nap time, she rests with Elliot either in his room or on the couch:
And in the mornings, when I work or on weekends, she sleeps on me or likes to be carried around:
Ella is a sweetheart and fairly calm but still playful. She fits in perfectly and we love her already so much.
