Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Applejack (AJ): Neutered male born 4/5/2010
Sweet Applejack (AJ or JackJack for short) is looking for a family of his own. He is often quite vocal, walking around the house trilling at whoever will listen to him. He would make an excellent companion for someone willing to give him the time and space he needs to adjust to new settings. It has taken nearly six months of love and patience, but JackJack finally seems comfortable in his foster home and will seek me out to cuddle or play. His favorite game is playing fetch with his toy mousey, though he has yet to bring the mousey toy back to me. He loves when I throw the mousey up in the air so he can show off his supreme jumping skills, catching the mousey in midair and then swatting it across the floor. JackJack insists that we play this game every night before bedtime. As with most cats, JackJack is cautious with new animals. He gets along very well with my younger male cats, both right around 1 year old. He primarily ignores the large dog that lumbers around the house. And he continues to try to get the two adult female cats to play with him, though they want nothing to do with him. Given time, JackJack would probably do fine in a home with other pets. However, he would probably adjust more quickly to a home where he is the only pet or where there are only one or two other pets. Whatever the environment, JackJack simply needs love and patience.
