About Elie, Paige and Meowmy- We are the Hallway Crew!

Elie was a kitten adopted during the pandemic. Found on the streets of Ottawa, she was placed in a shelter that was already full due to many pets being surrendered during COVID-19. Along with 49 other cats, she was transported to Toronto in a van, where she got into a fight with another cat, earning her iconic nose scar. Though it's unclear if she won the fight, she certainly fought hard.

In Toronto, the shelters were also full, so Elie was placed in a pet store where she stayed for a month. MEOWMY found her online while searching for a cat, having fallen in love with her friend's cat. Initially, MEOWMY thought Elie looked ugly and noticed her weird paws with too many toes. Elie was described as shy and depressed, but MEOWMY decided to adopt her.

The minute Elie arrived home, she took over the place and the hallway, always asking to go out. MEOWMY eventually got her another cat, Paige —a cat for her cat. However, Elie wasn’t looking for a sister; she wanted a boyfriend. Elie loves getting cozy with MEOWMY, which inspired the creation of hoodies and sweatshirts in her tribute.
