Adopt Eli, a Gorgeous Cougar of a Cat

Eli is an incredibly big, handsome, 1-year-old cat. Don't be fooled by his size—though he weighs in at 15 pounds, it's pure muscle, and he's just gorgeous. There's nothing not to love!

You've got to meet Eli to appreciate just how good he looks; he has the build of a cougar, and even the same face and head shape. But he's a super sweet and affectionate lump of a cat.

Eli is great with strangers. He'll walk into any home and immediately act as though he's lived there his entire life.

He hangs out with the family all the time, sits in laps and will cuddle at night. He has a pleasant-sounding, happy greeting and never howls. He plays like a kitten in an oversized body.

More pluses: He sheds very little, and doubles as an insect exterminator. He does well with the litter box and is healthy. He is also great with dogs, but needs a home without other cats.

Contact Kim at 651-452-7564 or kzotty15@msn.com to meet Eli. His adoption fee is $140 (cash only), which also includes a super-size carrier. All vet care and neutering is done.
