Ellie meant the whole world to me and my family. My other half, Gary, who is not a cat person despite us having two already, Ellie made three, was very attached to her in the two short weeks we had her. She slept with him and cuddled with him constantly while he was relaxing.

Ellie was meant for my oldest son who is 10 and autistic. We had a kitty who lives down the street stay with us for a week thinking she didn't have a home when I found her, and when we reunited her with her mama, it broke my son's heart. So I asked Tiny Paws Nicu about a few kittens, landing on Ellie as my final decision because her description just seemed to click. I gathered my kiddo up and surprised him by taking him to meet Tiny Paws Nicu in Altoona to pick Ellie up. We got her a special strawberry ID tag that says "Berry Special", my son now has her collar and the tag around his wrist. She loved her sister, Amara - also adopted from Tiny Paws Nicu - and did everything with her. They even shared the food dish and slept next to each other during the day.

Ellie claimed a big mouse bed that was given to me for Obi and Amara a couple months ago, and napped in it next to the heat vent where it was warm. She also hid in there when the other two were racing around our house playing if she didn't come to me or Gary to pick her up and keep her out of the way. She was our "Tiny Princess". She was spoiled rotten the whole time she was with us.

Ellie was only 5 months old at the time of her passing. We had a very short time with her, but she was very much loved and we are so heartbroken over losing her so soon.

We love you so much Elliebelly. Until we meet again at the rainbow bridge sweet girl.

Love,

Mama, Daddy, Zach, and Ethan.
