URGENT!! PLEASE HELP Elmer FIND HIS PURRFECT FUREVER HOME!
Elmer has been with us for MORE THAN A YEAR now, and it's time for him to find a home. Is there ANYONE out there for gentle, sweet Elmer?
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 also be fine as an only pet. Elmer has food allergies, and does well on Hound and 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.
