While she has progressed physically, Ellie remains a shy and sensitive kitten who needs a calm, understanding home willing to let her set the pace.
Eli is Ellie’s best friend, protector, and emotional anchor. His presence gives her confidence and helps her feel safe. Eli himself is also a work in progress. He is a shy kitten who is learning to trust, and he will need an adopter who is patient and committed to continuing his socialization. Eli does allow petting and gentle handling when food is involved, and this has been a wonderful tool in building positive associations. He is making steady progress, but trust takes time.
Together, Eli and Ellie will thrive in a quiet home with adopters who understand that shy kittens blossom with consistency, routine, and kindness. Watching their confidence grow is incredibly rewarding.
In return, you’ll be welcoming not just two cats, but a bonded pair whose story is one of healing, perseverance, and the power of companionship.
If you believe in patience, second chances, and love that grows over time, Eli and Ellie may be the perfect addition to your family.

Foster-to-Adopt Opportunity – Eli & Ellie
Eli and Ellie are a bonded pair looking for a special foster-to-adopt home where they can continue building confidence in a calm, loving environment.
Ellie has already overcome incredible odds—arriving in rescue paralyzed and making an amazing recovery. She is now playful and enjoying life, but she remains shy and benefits from a quiet, predictable home. Eli is her steady companion and emotional support, and their bond helps both of them feel safe.
Eli is still working on his socialization and learning to trust. He does allow petting and handling when food is involved and continues to make progress every day. With patience, routine, and positive reinforcement, he has so much potential to blossom.
A foster-to-adopt placement allows you to:
Get to know Eli and Ellie without pressure
Give them time to decompress and build trust
Receive guidance and support while they settle in
Decide on adoption once everyone feels comfortable
This is a perfect opportunity for someone who believes in second chances and understands that love and trust grow over time. Watching Eli and Ellie gain confidence together is incredibly rewarding—and you won’t be doing it alone.
If you have a quiet home, a gentle heart, and the patience to let these two set the pace, a foster-to-adopt arrangement may be the perfect fit for everyone.
