My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jax is an extremely sweet, albeit a bit timid, older boy who was rescued from street life. He has the most adorable bobbed tail. After his initial rescue, Jax was found to have already been neutered, but the lack of ear-tip suggests that he once had owners. He had a large number of painful teeth that have since been removed and he has completely healed from those procedures.

Jax is FIV+, so he needs to be an indoor cat. There is little chance of FIV being transmitted to other cats because it is transmitted through deep, blood drawing bites. Jax is gentle and does well with the resident cats in his foster home. He watches the resident dog from a safe distance. With standard veterinary care, Jax should live a long, healthy life.

Jax has not been around small children, but, after a period of adjustment, should do well with older, respectful children who will not corner him.

Additional adoption info

We are not a shelter and work entirely with our foster parents. Once a potential adopter is authorized (after application and home visit), that person is invited to meet the cat/kitten. If all goes well, fee is paid and cat goes with new person.

Go meet their pets

Once application and home visit is approved, potential adoptees are invited to visit the cat/kitten at our foster homes.
