About Elvis

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Cat
  • General Color: Black
  • Declawed: No
  • Housetrained: Yes
Elvis is ready to leave the building! Elvis is the sweetest cuddlebug of a kitten! The moment you pet him or pick him up, his purr starts going! There's nothing he likes more than being in a lap and getting all the pets! He's the perfect companion for watching TV, and will fall asleep in your lap.

Elvis has ataxia symptoms consistent with a moderate case of CH (cerebellar hypoplasia). If you're not familiar with this condition, it means that he's wobbly. The majority of his coordination issues appear to be with his back legs, which sometimes seem to function independently from his front legs.

Despite his condition, Elvis is expected to enjoy a long, healthy life, and he does a lot of things just fine on his own! His litterbox use is impeccable, as long as he has a tall-sided litterbox. Sometimes when he tries to use his litterbox, or tries to cover his waste, he'll fall down. If the waste is scooped daily, this isn't much of a problem. If not, he may need an occasional wipe down with a washcloth. If he needs a bath, he doesn't object as long as there's no running water. He licks to clean himself, and can scratch his ears with his hind legs.

If you want him in your lap, you'll need to pick him up, and put him down when lap time's over. He's not likely to jump much, so this is a kitty who won't make his way onto your kitchen counters! However, introductions to any other pets will need to be closely supervised, as they may not be sure of what to make of his movements, at first.

Elvis will benefit from having a home with either no stairs, or with carpeted stairs. He will also benefit from having either numerous rugs or some wall-to-wall carpeting, due to his frequent tumbles, though he's learning to get around much better on hard surface flooring.

Last, but not least, in order to find Elvis his perfect family, FLUFF's foster mom is willing to drive or fly a significant distance to his new home, or to meet partway. If Elvis sounds like he'd be a perfect fit for your family, please don't let distance deter you. He's a special kitten who deserves to find his equally special forever family!

So, if you have all the love in the world to give to this special little boy, please please complete and submit our application at www.FLUFFNashville.org.*

*Helpful Hint: you are welcome to submit inquiries first, however, if you are really interested, we strongly recommend that you go ahead and submit an application because others are, and this kitty may be gone by the time we get your inquiries answered.
