Sir 'Elton' John

My story

Sir “Elton” John Elton is the largest, most dramatic and most cuddly of his litter. Like his namesake, he is theatrical, endearing, confident, and a little chaotic. He loves to snuggle into your neck, burrow into your hair, and drape himself across your shoulders like a purring scarf. He’s playful and full of energy, though not always graceful; but even if he tumbles mid-jump, he pops right back up with that delusional yet charming male cat confidence. He knows he’s adorable. And he loves to love. His favorite toy is a chirping cardinal toy, and he goes wild for teaser toys. Of all the kittens, Elton took the longest to open up to Rosko—his gentle, senior foster dog-brother. We think he could do well with other pets in the home if his new family will be patient and allow him to acclimate on his own terms. He would do best in a smaller, quieter home with someone who can reciprocate all the love he has to offer.   Elton would be a wonderful pet for anyone looking to adopt a best friend—he’s quirky, loyal and so full of love. He hasn’t been introduced to small children, but we just have a feeling he would be an amazing first pet for a gentle and responsible child.  Note from the foster family We decided to foster after losing our beloved cat Bowie. Bowie was a charismatic, quirky and highly affectionate Siamese mix. After 13 years of love and unforgettable companionship, we suddenly and tragically lost him to kidney failure. His absence was profound and painful, especially to our senior dog Rosko, who was desperately missing his best companion of 10 years. We were surrounded by his toys, blankets, cat trees, and all the treats he would never get to enjoy. It felt like his things still held a piece of him. We didn’t want to let them go, but we weren’t ready to move on. So instead of closing this chapter, we opened our hearts to something new. These four babies—Elton, Mitski, Joni and Liza—came to us when we were still grieving. At first, they were skittish, avoidant and clearly unfamiliar with humans. But with careful socialization, patience, treats, love, and lots of play time, they began to bloom. Watching them play with Bowie’s toys, climb his tree, and tumble through their little milestones has brought so much light and laughter back into our lives. Earning their trust, loving them fully, and watching them thrive has helped us heal. And now it’s time to find them their own soft places to land. These kittens are so special and will unquestionably bring so much joy and laughter into your home. Each of them carries a little piece of our heart—and a little piece of Bowie’s too. Elton was born around April 15, 2025, and is currently being fostered in Farmington. Once he is fixed, up-to-date on shots, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV at the end of July, he will be ready for adoption. All of our cats and kittens are cared for in loving foster homes. "Meet and Greets" can be arranged only after an application has been submitted and approved. Applications for adoption can be found at our website at www.fosterandforever.org. Our volunteers do their best to respond within 24-48 hours.July 6, 2025, 1:25 pm
