My story

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

Meet Eli — a 5–6 year old lovebug with a playful streak and a huge heart. 💛

Once Eli feels settled, he’s super social, affectionate, and all about his people. His favorite things include snuggling with humans, playing with catnip, and proudly running around the house with a toy mouse in his mouth like he just won a trophy.

Eli does best with a little time to adjust to new surroundings (especially because loud, sudden noises can startle him), but when he’s comfortable, you’ll see his true personality: lovey, friendly, and happily involved in whatever you’re doing.

Friends & home life:

✅ Cats: Yes! He loves playing with his foster brother Otie and would really like a home with a cat buddy.

✅ Dogs: Yes, with a cat-savvy dog (he likes his foster brother Ferdy).

✅ Kids: Yes, but he’d prefer kids who are calmer — he may hide from very young, rambunctious kiddos.

If you’re looking for a cat who’s equal parts cuddle companion and toy-mouse athlete, Eli might be your perfect match. 🐾
