Josh joined the GGOH family along with his siblings and his poppa (momma has yet to be captured but we're not giving up!). This little family had been living in a shed and when found by the home owner, they knew just who to call for help. Of course we couldn't say "no" to this family in need - welcome Josh and family!
Josh (like his siblings) is a bit on the shy side - at first. He is quick to warm up to you and is accepting of pets if you approach him slowly - he learns pretty fast though that there is no stranger danger. Sometimes he waits and watches and takes a signal from his siblings but more often than not, he is the first to approach anyone new.
Josh is great with other cats and loves a good tumble and play session. He's also a fan of kitty toys and is partial to sparkly pompoms and that uncatchable laser mouse. He's still a bit nervous around noisy children but he will get used to them - as long as the children can respect his need to go slow, he'll be accepting of that. If you have dogs, well that is an unknown for large dogs but for the little ones, he could care less.
Lastly we wanted to mention "Black Cat Syndrome" - the general opinion that black cats are harder to adopt than other cats that have similar personalities and physical traits. It really is a thing - many people shy away from black cats simply because they are black. Superstition is what it boils down to but we are here to tell you, black cats are fabulous and no different than any cat of a different color but it is true, they stay in rescues and shelters much longer than other cats do. So if you could find it in your heart to welcome a black cat into your home and family, well Josh would be very happy to hear that. Take a chance on him, show him he's valued regardless of the color of his coat. You won't be disappointed!
Josh's DOB is approx. 3/2/22.

More about this rescue
Established in 2003, we are a no-kill rescue/re-home program that takes in abandoned, homeless and unwanted animals. We work tirelessly to find new, permanent homes for our rescues. Our program's Director began this journey when our county's humane society was closed down.
A note from our Director:
"I have been a lifelong rescuer; all of my pets (currently, 10 dogs and 5 cats) are rescue animals. They mean the world to me and I want to help as many animals as I can while I am on this earth. Back in 2003, I gathered together many animal lovers in the area and we started our rescue efforts; we've continued to grow over time and are now operating as a 501c3 organization, which has helped us strengthen our efforts to save the animals. We want to see that no animal goes without love, shelter, food or a happy life. We work on educating the public about the overpopulation problem, we promote spay/neuter programs, and we do group tours at our facility to teach about the rescue re-home world. To get our youth community involved, we visit schools to teach about responsible pet ownership, animal abuse and neglect, and what they as an animal advocate can do to help prevent these tragedies. We are proud of what we do here at our rescue and we believe it is our job to protect those that speak another language and quite honestly, we just could not imagine a world without them. I invite you to join our efforts by becoming a sustainable monthly donor, a volunteer with our program or, simply to be another voice for the animals. Contact us today to find out how you can help."
