My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Eli - Available for Adoption

Eli is a beautiful tuxedo cat with adorable white socks, long snow-white whiskers that stand out against his black jowls, and eyes as green as the Caribbean seas. He looks dreamy… and a little sad. We suspect there might have been some rough handling, or even abuse, in Eli’s past because he shrivels in a corner when a stranger extends their hand to pet him. Not once has he tried to hiss or scratch us, he just cowers… and it breaks our hearts. Eli does warm up to people however, and once he does, you could pet him for hours – he never seems to tire. This absolute darling is all cuddles, head-butts and purrs… He is the perfect companion for someone who wants a gentle and mellow kitty to hang out with. Eli can be playful, but he is not a high energy cat and we feel he would do better in a quiet household with older children.

For some reason, Eli’s sweet disposition doesn’t seem to extend to members of his own species… he has shown us that other cats try his patience and that he really isn’t thrilled to have them around. Eli is untested with dogs but he is quite submissive so we are worried a dog would overwhelm him. He is around 2-3 years old, FIV/FeLV negative, vaccinated and neutered so he is ready to go home with you today. Please consider adding this sweetie pie to your household and email us at catadoptions@bostonsforgottenfelines.org.
