Questions other applicants have asked
Can Elio live with other pets? He's looking for a home without other animals, so all of his affection can land on one person.
Does he need constant attention? Not at all. He's just as happy sharing a room quietly as he is joining in on playtime.
What does his medical history mean day to day? Very little. He's fully recovered from his urinary crystal surgery and stable on a specialised diet, and his complete patient history is ready to share.
Is he suited to an indoor-only home? Yes, Elio is a secure indoor cat who loves warm windows and familiar resting spots close to home.
Medical notes
Elio is in good general health. He had surgery for urinary crystals in the past and made a full recovery, and now stays stable and comfortable on a specialised urinary care diet, a simple routine rather than an ongoing concern.
His complete patient history is ready to hand over to his new guardian's veterinary team.

Adoption details
When enquiring about a pet listed with Home2Home, your enquiry goes directly to the pet’s guardian—the person who knows them best!
From here, the guardian will be in touch to learn more about you and chat with you about their pet. It’s a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the pet, including its likes and dislikes, needs, and how it may fit into your lifestyle and family.
If your home and lifestyle match the pet's needs, the next step will be arranging a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is happy to proceed with a formal adoption.
Following the adoption, change of ownership paperwork will be completed, and proof of vaccination, microchipping, and desexing (if applicable, as indicated on the listing) will be provided.
All pets adopted through Home2Home will require an adoption contract to be signed and an adoption fee to be paid. The pet’s guardian will complete the adoption contract with you and provide a link to PetRescue’s secure payment portal for completing the adoption fee payment.
Home2Home currently operates a ‘pay what you choose’ system for cat adoption fees. This means that adopters will be able to choose an adoption fee amount that is suitable for them. All adoption fees are used to support PetRescue's life-saving programs, including Home2Home.
