About Eli
Very handsome Eli is an incredibly sweet boy looking for a super special home.
Eli travelled all the way from Kalgoorlie to his current foster home in Northam and we are hoping to find him a fresh start with a wonderful, understanding family.
Eli needs a real cat person. He is a very timid and shy boy who will take weeks and months to start coming out of his shell and he's the kind of cat who will probably keep surprising and delighting you with his progress for years to come.
Eli gets on extremely well with other cats and will be happiest in a home where there are other friendly felines to welcome him. If you have a lonely cat who wants a playmate - if you want to adopt a cat for your cat, as it were - Eli is your guy!
Eli will hide a lot in the beginning and you'll need to be patient but also willing to spend time working hard to coax him out from his hiding spots and build his trust. Hand-feeding roast chicken will be helpful here!
When he's scared or if you move too suddenly or threateningly, Eli will hiss and he might lash out - it's his only defence after all!
And once he gets to know you and starts enjoying your pats, he does like to give love bites too!
Eli is most definitely not suited to a home with small children or anyone who is constantly loud, fast-moving or unable to accept him for who he is.
A home with just one or two people will be best for him; we have successfully rehomed several cats in the past who are just like this boy and both have thrived with the company of other cats and the patience of their humans.
As suggested by the pic we have sneakily included, Eli would do very well in the home of a true 'crazy cat lady.'
He's a loving and special boy (and did we mention incredibly handsome?!) who desperately needs his second chance. Please help us find his forever home!
