Hi, my name's Elton & I came into the care of the rescue after finding myself with my siblings homeless at a local pound. Unfortunately our mum arrived with us deceased and at the age of 3 weeks, we needed someone experienced to undertake the arduous journey of hand-raising us. We hadn't had a great deal of contact with people so were on the timid side, but, that's now a distant memory.

I think I'm a unique kitty... which I hope will help persuade someone to overlook how timid I can initially be with strangers because. That said, I've made considerable progress in the short time I've been in foster- largely due to unconditional love and care my foster mum's provided through the duration of my staycation with S.A.M! I've learnt that people mean me no harm, and their attention and affectionssss can actually be pretty great! I now enjoy pats and enjoy being cuddled (all on my terms!). While I am for the most part a much more confident kitty than what I once was, it can take me a bit of time to come out of my shell .... but if you are patient with me, you will see just how affectionate I can be. I have a whole-lotta potential, I just need an adopter with patience.

So now the important stuff. What sort of home will I suit? Change can be pretty scary for me and there is a whole lotta' change involved with the adoption process; meeting new people at meet and greets, moving into a new home, adjusting to a new routine, learning to trust my adopters, adjusting to new sounds & smells... to name a few. I'm seeking a patient and understanding home that'll give me plenty of time to adjust to my new home. Cats? Yes! Dogs? While I haven't previously lived with canine companions, the rescue is confident that will the right introductions, I'll be just fine. Children? I'm not suited to a home with young, boisterous children however will be ok with older children (ages 10+).
