Cats' Cradle: Elliott

I’m Elliott. I wasn’t always this handsome and distinguished. I arrived in a dog crate with three other cats scared, heat fatigued, and fearful of my future. I was scared, beat up and, honestly, not sure about humans. I used to be a tough guy (former tom cat, if you must know), but these days I’m more of a soft, snuggly gentleman. Once I trust you, I will happily curl up on the couch and melt into you like a weighted blanket — but cuter.

I love wet food and Tempations and will eat everyone’s food if you let me. I like to sleep in tents after breakfast and then get lots of pets and love when I wake up.

I’m kind, loving, and a little bit brave every day. If you want a loyal companion who chose love after a rough start, I’m ready for you. I get along with other cats. I am neutered, vaccinated, fully vetted and ready to live my happily ever after. Call Christian at 828-748-5531 if you are ready to snuggle with me or come see me in person at The Mews Herald, 301 Collett St., Morganton, Wednesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., or Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
