A sneezy cat is looking for a special new home after being handed into Cats Protection’s National Cat Adoption Centre.

Elliot the sneezy catNine-year-old Elliott suffers from chronic rhinitis, which means he is particularly snuffly – something which staff at the centre say may have put off potential owners.

While the tabby puss is prone to bursts of sneezing, staff at the centre, in Lewes Road, Chelwood Gate, say he has a lot of love to give a new owner.

Cats Protection’s National Cat Adoption Centre Deputy Manager Tania Marsh said: “Elliott is definitely very snuffly and his condition means he has some damage to the bones in his nose. However, this doesn’t bother him and he is a happy, affectionate chap.

“We think his condition has put off some people from adopting him, which is a shame as would make a lovely pet. We’re looking for a patient and loving owner who can give Elliott the loving home he desperately needs.

“Cats with health conditions may seem like a daunting prospect at first, but in many cases they can be managed well with the right care. Cats like Elliott deserve a safe, warm and loving home as much as any other cat, and we hope we can find a new owner for him soon.”
