We welcomed Elessar into our home in 2019, and he quickly showed us just how special indoor cats can be. Hand-raised from a young age, he's always been a little… different-in the best way. He often feels more like an awkward, endearing little kid than a cat, and his quirky personality keeps us smiling every day.

Elessar is a reserved 7 year old adult male goof who enjoys being near his people while still maintaining an air of independence. He'll quietly "chat" with you throughout the day and likes to keep you company on his own terms. But come bedtime, all that aloofness disappears-he becomes a dedicated cuddle companion, often curling up near your head to keep you warm through the night.

Playtime is one of his favorite things, especially anything involving a laser pointer-he was made for it! Once he trusts you, he shows off some classic ragdoll-like traits. While he doesn't seek out being held for long, he tolerates it well and is very cooperative with gentle handling for grooming and care (like nail trims or the occasional cleanup).

One of Elessar's greatest joys is supervised outdoor time. In a safely enclosed space, he loves to explore, sniff, and take in the world. A home with a secure yard or a catio would be an absolute dream for him.

Elessar would do best in a calm, understanding home. He could thrive with older, cat-savvy children who know how to respect his space and independence. However, a home with young children would likely be too stressful for him over time.

He is up to date on his long-term vaccinations. Since he has been strictly indoor-only, his annual boosters are currently overdue, but he has otherwise been well cared for. Elessar is indoor only and lives in Salem with his owner. His rehoming fee is $100.
