Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Elliot is a handsome medium-haired tuxedo male who was born in the May of 2010. Elliot has been neutered, tested negative for FIV/FeLV and is up-to-date with shots. He is built like a quarterback football player with a broad shoulder and a thick neck; but he has the voice of a New York Met Opera tenor. He sings for every wet food meal and he can wolf down a can of Fancy Feast faster than one can send an email.
Elliot had a very interesting story on how he was rescued (http://www.cleveland.com/lyndhurst-south-euclid/index.ssf/2016/05/big_daddy_elliott_fashioned_hi.html). He cleverly executed his own rescue by disguising himself as the nursing mom of a litter of kittens whom PAWS was trying to trap at the time. You see, it was dark outside. Elliot was injured, hungry, tired and in pain. He saw and smelled the food sitting at the back of a drop trap and decided “why not”. Since Elliot shared the same color and markings as the nursing mom, now known as Mama Emerald in PAWS, the trappers took Elliot in as the “nursing mom”. It did not take long however for the humans to recognize Elliot was nowhere close to be any kind of mom. But Elliot was so badly injured and sweet that the humans decided “why not, let’s find this fellow a home”. So here we are now, finding Elliot a home.
Judging from Elliot’s demeanor, we suspected he was once someone’s pet. He has the once bitten, twice shy complex but he loves to be petted by the human he trusts. He needs a quiet and mature home with an adopter who appreciates the process of building a bond with a sensitive, previously abandoned cat. Elliot will need some time to warm up to anyone but once he does, he is a total sweetie. So please check out Elliot if you are in the market for a special companion with a big heart.
