Farewell Ella Cat

It is with regret that we must inform you that we lost Ella cat on 6th December 2010.

She arrived at Foal Farm in 1998. Ella was on expensive veterinary treatment for liver damage which her owners could not afford.

Ella was a clever cat! She lived in the kitchen and we can tell you many a dog was cat tested with her and they quickly learnt never to cross a cat again!

Ella had health problems right from the start and we nearly lost her a couple of times. On top of her liver problems she also had kidney problems and needed an injection once a month. This was where she used her cleverness. On the day that the vet would arrive she literally disappeared first thing in the morning and would reappear half and hour after he had gone - every time!

In the end we used to catch her the day before and put her in an FIB room. The vet would arrive, jab her and she would spit, growl, swear, turn up her nose and walk out clearly planning her escape the following month!

Ella mellowed with age. We all loved her and laughed at her antics.

She was found in the kitchen on the morning of 6th December 2010, after passing away in the early hours. She was about 18 years old.

RIP Ella - you will be sadly missed xxx
