We have had a recent influx of feral cats. There is Mamacita, mother of our cats Precious and Obadiah.  There is Oliver, the elusive tom who looks like our cat Bella.  Then there is Eli.

Eli showed up about three months ago.  First, just a black and white shadow, becoming more and more insistent, present, then taking over the outdoor heated shelter I had for Mamacita.  It was time to do something about Eli and Oliver, the toms.  Too much testosterone, too many possibilities for more kittens with whatever other ferals are around.

We borrowed the have-a-heart from the local feed store, and surprise, Eli walked right in, nice as pie.  He had the surgery and his vaccinations and while recuperating was in Pam’s studio.  Turns our that Eli is a sweet, affectionate guy, who has no desire to go outside.  We also think that he is the third kitten from Mamacita’s litter that contained Precious and Obadiah – the missing brother that we saw when he was tiny tiny.  Unfortunately, we already have seven cats, and they are a complicated, feisty and not always friendly gang.

We need a home for Eli.  I suspect that he could get along with one or two other cats, but probably not a dog, since he was terrorized by one of our greyhounds when he was living outdoors.

Please let us know if you can give Eli a home.
