Elmer was rescued as a stray in Southington and is now thriving in a loving foster home in Berlin with other cats. This handsome 2-year-old boy is truly one of the sweetest cats you’ll ever meet. Elmer absolutely adores people and will happily soak up all the love and attention you’re willing to give. He’s an affectionate, devoted lap cat who will climb right up, settle in, and purr contentedly for as long as you’ll let him. If you’re looking for a constant companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side (or better yet, on your lap!), Elmer is your guy.
He gets along well with submissive female cats and would do best in a home that understands his gentle, loving nature. Elmer has food allergies, and does well on Hound & Gatos canned food, which does not require a prescription.
Elmer has been neutered, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV. He has tested positive for FIV. Many FIV+ cats live long, happy, healthy lives, and we fully expect Elmer to do the same with proper care. FIV cannot be transmitted to humans or to any animals other than cats. It is not spread through casual contact like sharing food and water bowls, litter boxes, or grooming. In neutered cats, FIV is typically transmitted only through deep bite wounds, and compatible cats typically don't do this.
If you have any questions about FIV or about sweet Elmer, please email us — we’re happy to help.
His adoption fee is $250.

Additional adoption info
Anyone who is interested in adoption may send us an e-mail and request an application. We will process all applications that are received, and we will make a decision based on the applicant that is most suitable for any given pet, regardless of the order in which applications are received. We do not work on a first-come-first-served basis. We will make an appointment for approved applicants to pick up their new family members. All adopters are expected to sign an adoption contract and pay a fee to help defray medical and other expenses incurred. Shipping animals unaccompanied is unpredictable and very stressful for the animals. Hidden Treasures will NOT ship pets under any circumstances. Adopters will pick up their pets in person and transport them directly to their new home in an appropriately sized hard plastic pet carrier. If the pet is being transported by air, adopters are expected to bring the pet on board the plane. We reserve the right to deny applications for any reason.
