Meet our sweet boy, Jethro 🧡 At not even two years old, he has already been through so much.
He was surrendered to RBARI in April of last year when his former pet parent determined that they were unable to afford his care moving forward. As is sadly common with many male cats, Jethro was suffering from recurring urinary blockages. We were finally able to remedy the issue with a specialized surgery, but as a precaution he will need to remain on a urinary care diet.
Shortly after his arrival to the shelter, we found that the environment is incredibly stressful for Jethro. Especially given that he will likely prefer to be your one and only. Thankfully one of our wonderful and dedicated fosters has been able to provide that for him until he finds his forever home.
Initially he seemed to be a bit more aloof, but as time has gone on he has become more comfortable and affectionate with his foster mom. He is absolutely full of energy and loves to play. Fuzzy mice and wand toys are among his favorite. He also loves spending his time looking out of the window at the local wildlife and passersby.
Although Jethro is adored by his foster mom, it is not necessarily the right time for her to adopt. So we are hoping to find him a loving home that he can truly call his own. If you think that that home might be yours, please do not hesitate to submit an application. Primary Color: Buff Secondary Color: White Weight: 6.75 Age: 2yrs 0mths 3wks

More about this shelter
Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge, Inc. is founded on the belief that all animals have a natural right to humane treatment including proper care and safe shelter. Due to overpopulation, there are insufficient homes for most cats and dogs. Some are lucky enough to find temporary shelter and a few even find permanent homes. However it is a devastating fact that the majority are either euthanized or forced to chance life without shelter.
To support our belief and to relieve the unnecessary suffering of animals, we shall:
1.Extend every effort to find, evaluate, and secure good adoptive homes for animals in our care.
2.Provide animals with medical services and behavior therapy to the extent of our ability.
3.Adhere to a “no-kill” policy: animals shall not be euthanized for the purpose of providing space for new animals.
4.Adhere to a 100% spay and neuter policy.
5.Maintain continuing humane education programs and in particular to schools.
