Ellie is an adorable Russian Blue mix that was found living on top of a roof in Tijuana. She was extremely sweet and friendly, and the homeowners were worried that she would harm herself if she tried to jump off the roof. We're not sure how she got there but are so thankful that the homeowners brought her inside at our request. They gave her so much love, food, and shelter while waiting for a spot to open at The Lounge. We are so happy to welcome her and find her a forever home! We have recently learned that Ellie is a lap cat! She loves to take a nap while you're sitting and working or reading. Ellie has a common parasite called Tritrichomonas foetus, or T. foetus, in their belly that causes loose stool. Fortunately, this infection is often considered more of an inconvenience than a medical emergency. Though medical treatment tends to be unsuccessful, T. foetus can resolve on its own. In the meantime, they should not be with other kitties to prevent its spread. Being a carrier of T. Foetus doesn’t impact their health or life, but it may make some stinky poops! Ellie herself had gone through three rounds of treatment and her stool consistency has been well managed with this as well as a prescription diet!
