Meet Papa Elf! He came to Tenth Life just before the holidays but is sure to give you Christmas cheer and joy the whole year round. Affectionately known as Papa, this sweet senior boy is healthy, happy, and ready to find his forever family.
This tabby cutie is overall pretty perfect! Papa is very calm, quiet, laid back, and just an all around very good and well behaved boy! He has been known to chase a catnip mouse from time to time, but for the most part he is all about the relaxation and lounging next to his person. If you are looking for a companion to binge the latest Netflix series with, Papa would love to volunteer! He does not generally care for being picked up, held, or laying on laps, but you will never doubt his love and adoration. His eyes will light up every time you enter the room and he will always come to greet you.
Papa is not very vocal, but he is not shy to speak up when he knows it is time for treats. Temptations are his absolute favorite! Soft food is yucky but please give him all the crunchies! He gets a liquid medicine once a day for his joints/arthritis, but it tastes like candy to him and he looks forward to it every morning!
While Papa loves all the people he meets, so far he hasn't been the biggest fan of his fellow felines. It is possible he would do ok with a slow introduction, but he would probably do best as the only cat in the home.
Papa would love nothing more than to sit quietly beside you, making biscuits and getting pets, for the remainder of his golden years. Could that person be you? Papa would love to meet you!

More about this rescue
Tenth Life's Mission:
Giving cats the lives they deserve.
At Tenth Life, we believe that every cat, regardless of emotional or physical limitations, deserves the chance at a fulfilling and happy life.
We provide veterinary care, foster homes, and adoptive placement to stray cats and kittens, prioritizing those with special needs. We work to end unnecessary euthanasia and cat homelessness through educational outreach, community programs, and collaborative partnerships.
Only when a trusted veterinarian determines that a cat is in a state of incurable suffering, does Tenth Life relieve them of their pain through gentle and humane euthanasia. This difficult and thoughtful decision is never made in response to a lack of space, negative behaviors, or because a cat's medical needs are challenging or expensive.
