Elliot and Jemma are an adorable pair who are being returned to the Rescue and are looking for their new forever home! Elliot is a handsome neutered tan and white Abyssinian born in October 2017. Jemma, who is about 4 years old, is a beautiful black, white and cream Abyssinian who is a total cuddle-bug! She loves to give kisses and will gladly lick your hands, neck and face. Elliot and Jemma would like to go to a home where they will be held a lot.
Elliot and Jemma can be shy at first but they are actually very friendly and become outgoing once they get to know you. Elliot will peek is head out of his hiding spot in his cage if he suspects that you have food for him, especially if it's his favorite snack which is carrots! He loves to snatch up his vegetables and then zoom back to his hiding spot so he can eat peacefully. Jemma needs some coaxing to come out of hiding as well for her veggies but once she does she will eat them all up!
One of Elliot's favorite activities is to jump up on top of his box and tunnels and sit up there like a king! He also loves being in your lap and being pet while he stretches out. He is very patient with lap time and as long as he's comfortable he can stay in your lap for a long time. Jemma also loves to be to held and really knows how to get comfortable. Elliot and Jemma need to live in a Rescue-required Cubes and Coroplast cage of at least 2 cubes by 4 cubes located in a room the family spends time in so everyone can enjoy their company.
The adoption fee for Elliot and Jemma is $80 ($35 for an intact female and $45 for a neutered male). Are you interested in finding out more about adopting this cute pair?
