Make way, an Elephant is coming through and looking for his forever home!

Elephant is a sweet boy in need of a kind, patient human. He is a bit skittish and can turn spicy when overstimulated or running into an unexpected kitty. However, he's the sweetest little guy once he's comfortable around you. He loves exploring the house and having some pets on his chin! Once you're buddies, he'll even play! His favorite toys are anything snake-like or a good old-fashioned string or feather on a stick.

Elephant is expressive, but not in the way you think! He is quiet and rarely meows or makes noise. His face is a different story. He has a pouty pink bottom lip that likes to poke out when he's relaxed, making him look a little like a grumpy cutie! Now that he's gotten to know the resident cat, he seeks him out for sniffs and nose boops!

This little gray guy will need some extra loving due to his anxiety and previous medical issues. Some of his treatments or cleanings may need to be delayed while trust is built. He loves his sulfur toothbrush time but he's sensitive to cold temperatures, so it's important to make sure any medicines being applied topically are as close to room temp as possible. The true way to his heart is to let him sleep on a heating pad!

Elephant would be a wonderful addition to a home with adults or older kids and low traffic. He takes time to warm up but will love those he trusts forever!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed, or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
