About Elio

Elio, found as a helpless two-week-old in a box at a Fremont park, has overcome the odds. This resilient little guy weighed just 4.4 ounces and needed immediate care, which the Ohlone Humane Society gladly provided. Now at four weeks old, he's mastered the litter box in record time and hasn't had any accidents since. Despite his small size, Elio has an abundance of energy. He races around, keeping up with older kittens and engaging in playful wrestling matches, blissfully unaware of his petite stature. But don’t let the antics fool you—he's also a snuggler who loves to climb up for cozy naps in laps, purring loudly when he's comfortable. Elio gets along well with both young and adult cats, as well as children. He enjoys the hustle and bustle of a busy household, showing a remarkable adaptability to various sounds from vacuums to musical instruments. This little tabby is smart, playful, and incredibly loving, making him the perfect companion. As he thrives in the company of other cats, we encourage adopting him with a buddy or having a young feline friend at home. Every moment spent with Elio is a step towards providing him the loving home he deserves. Ready to make him a part of your family? Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
