Elio

Elio is a gentle soul who likes to make sure you're a friend before letting you into his little world.

When you first meet him, Elio can be a little shy and may take a moment to decide whether he's ready to come over. Give him a calm approach, some gentle pats and, most importantly, a tasty treat or two, and you'll start to see him relax. He'll sniff his way over, accept some affection, and slowly show you the sweet boy hiding behind that cautious first impression.

Elio isn't the type of cat who needs to be in the middle of everything. He has a calm, gentle presence that we think will make him a lovely companion for someone who enjoys the quieter side of life. He may need a little time to find his feet in a new home, but once the unfamiliar becomes familiar, we're sure there is much more of his personality waiting to come out.

If your idea of the perfect cat is a gentle boy to share peaceful days, cosy evenings, and the occasional snack with, Elio might be exactly who you're looking for. We encourage you to come and meet him at our North Melbourne shelter as soon as possible, as our cats cannot be placed on hold.
