Eli

My story

Eli was left alone in a New York Apt after his loving owner passed away. He escaped the apartment after cleaners were there and lived in the apartment building stairwell for almost a week! Kind neighbors took him in and his story went viral on instagram! Eli was very traumatized at first but the neighbor who fostered him has helped him come out of his shell and return to the loving, playful cat he has always been. He loves to play fetch and snuggle in your lap on the couch. He will show his belly and is just an adorable and soulful little fellow. May 26, 2026, 12:05 pm
