I got an e-mail back from the person from the shelter. She said we could come visit Elrond any time.
Oh yes, and my dad is convinced! Thanks for the help! He said we have to ask my mom about what day she and my dad will go visist him (we still have school for three weeks). If they like him, they'll adopt him.
She also said he was good with other cats, so that's a good sign. I'm so happy.

Thanks for the warm wishes (and for sharing your cat pics..they were so cute!)
